UFC In Dublin: Hendo/Franklin & Shogun/Coleman

[machsaku]

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has officially announced a return to Ireland on Jan 17, but this time they will be traveling to Dublin for the first time. Former middleweight champion, Rich “Ace” Franklin stays put at 205lbs to face Dan Henderson in a tough light heavyweight showdown as the main event.

and it seems that Shogun will move up to HW for a rematch with The Hammer.

I CANT WAIT.

i'm pretty sure Shogun's move to HW is a one time thing. and it's interesting that Hendo is back up at 205. I like him there but was hoping to see him rematch Anderson @ 185.

I'm liking these two fights right now. Both of them should be exciting.

You sure Coleman-Shogun isn't at 205?

your right.
this morning the mmaweekly article said HW, but now it says it's updated and it's been changed.

The bout between Shogun and Coleman will be fought at light heavyweight

This is great. I've always wanted to see how Franklin would fare against former PRIDE fighters. The Coleman-Shogun fight is nice in that it settles their controversial first match but I'm not sure what the point is besides that...

just hope he spares his kids the trauma of repeating his post-fedor fight bizarreness if he loses.

"DADDY"S OK BABIES!! DADDY'S OK!"

Shogun wins this for sure.
