BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin has his eyes set on one more run to the top.
And while UFC officials have long downplayed the potential for “Ace” to
get another crack at the title, Franklin is hoping his string of favors
for the promotion has earned him a bit of leverage.
“I’m glad that you and probably everybody
else notices that I’ve bailed the UFC out a lot,”
Franklin told MMAjunkie.com. “I hope that’s going to
pay off in the future at some point in time.”
