This one’s gonna leave a mark.

Prior to their UFC 126 co-main event fight, Rich Franklin and opponent Forrest Griffin joked about the loser getting tattooed. At least it seemed like a joke.

But don’t ever say Rich Franklin isn’t a man of his word. True to his promise, Franklin — who lost the fight via unanimous decision — visited a tattoo shop on Friday to begin the process of getting inked.

“I don’t believe it,” Griffin told MMA Fighting. “We didn’t even shake hands on it. I definitely would not be getting it if I lost. I’d be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, of course,’ but then if I lost, you would have to knock me out to get me in that chair.”
