Rich Franklin had wowed doctors with the speed of his recovery from
shoulder surgery and recently returned to near-full speed training in
the gym.
All the while, he kept the UFC updated on his progress and talked about a
return to the cage. But even he was surprised at the speed with which
he went from disabled to active after his doctor cleared him this past
Friday.
“I’m sitting there, my phone goes off on Sunday night and I found out
via Twitter that my fight was signed,” Franklin today told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
