UFC on FUEL TV 6 – Cung Le vs. Rich Franklin likely to headline November 10th event in Macau, China
It has tonight been revealed that if former Strikeforce middleweight champion, Cung Le is good to go he will headline the UFC on FUEL TV 6 card set for November 10th in Macau, China opposite former UFC champion, Rich Franklin.
The fighters initially were slated to fight at UFC 148 until the bout was scrapped to make other matchups. UFC President, Dana White said at today press conference:
“If he (Le) fights in China, he will fight Rich Franklin.”
Le started his octagon career slowly after suffering a second round TKO defeat at the hands of Wanderlei Silva. He rebounded in July with a unanimous decision win over former title contender, Patrick Cote.
Franklin continued his rollercoaster ride inside the octagon on the UFC 148 card with a unanimous win over Wanderlei Silva. Prior to that he’d lost to Forrest Griffin at UFC 126 via unanimous decision. In his last six fights he has gone 3-3.
