Rich Franklin vs Forrest Griffin

A light heavyweight fight between former champions Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin is in the works for the UFC's card on Super Bowl Saturday, Feb. 5, which tentatively has been labeled UFC 127.

Sources with knowledge of the planned bout told MMA Fighting that the fight has yet to be signed, but is the intended direction of the promotion. Additionally, sources have informed MMA Fighting's Mike Chiappetta the battle between the two former champions is expected for that event.

The bout will likely serve as the pay-per-view's co-main event under an anticipated middleweight title fight between champion Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort. Light heavyweight contenders Jon Jones and Ryan Bader are also expected to fight on the card. The event has not yet been announced, but is expected to take place in Las Vegas.

rich will certainly take forrest.

That'd be a good fight, HOPEFULLY. I thought the Forrest Silva fight would be good and we all saw how that turned out. But I think this would be a good fight with Rich hopefully winning, but he looks like he's slowing down in his last couple of fights. It just doesn't look like he's on top like he was when he was the champ

it will be a good fight regardless.... i see it going almost all 3 rounds
