UFC presents “The Phenom”, former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort, makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon to face Rich “Ace” Franklin in the main event of UFC 103. Also featured on the biggest MMA event to ever hit Texas will be perhaps the most explosive heavyweight battle of the year when one of the sport’s most feared strikers, Mirko Cro Cop, takes on Brazilian knockout artist Junior Dos Santos.

Rich Franklin at age 34 is a total superstar on the Octagon, one of the most famous fighters in the world, will make his return facing a fierce adversary like Belfort. The “Ace” has excellent striking skills, good conditioning and he’s a well-rounded fighter. His 88 kg and his 1.85 m makes him one of the best of his weight class as he has been for a very long time. In his last fight Franklin defeated Wanderlei Silva by unanimous decision in one of the best fights I have ever seen, that shows the kind of fighter he is, he has fought big names too like Ken Shamrock, Anderson Silva, Evan Tanner, etc. His record is 27-4-0 which means this will be a fight to watch over and over again since Franklyn is the smarter fighter and he will use that be beat Belfort by UD.

Vitor Belfort was born at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and at age 31 has an impressive record of 12-5-0 fighting huge names like Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva (won by KO) and the fierce Tank Abbott which he knocked out as well. He retired for many years but now he is back and back for good, he needs to get some good fights and this is exactly what he was looking for, he expects a very good ground fight since he’s is one of the best in the World on ground skills, also his hand speed is incredible but his real strenght and the skill he will use the most will be the submission, only by doing so he will be able to beat a more experienced and smarter Franklin.

THE PREDICTION IN THIS FIGHT IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES I HAVE EVER MADE ON UFC BUT MY PICK IS VITOR BELFORT RETURNING TO THE OCTAGON TO TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY HIS.
