UFC 119 in Indianapolis still needs a headliner, but one regional fighter won’t be available for the September event.
Due to the broken arm he suffered in a recent knockout win over Chuck Liddell, Cincinnati-area fighter Rich Franklin is unavailable for main-event duties at the show, which takes place Sept. 25 at Conseco Fieldhouse.
J.T. Stewart, Franklin’s business manager, today told MMAjunkie.com that Franklin expects to be sidelined until December.
