Even at 46 years of age, UFC Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture is planning on fighting more often than nearly anyone else in the UFC. Fresh off his decimation of Mark Coleman at last weekend's UFC 109, Sherdog has word that "The Natural" is in discussions to take on fellow fan favorite Rich Franklin at UFC 115 in Vancouver on June 12th. The bout would serve as a co-main event alongside the third meeting of Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.
Randy Couture, fresh off his submission win over fellow hall of famer Mark Coleman may be heading back to the Octagon this June to take on former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions. The fight is in the early planning stages and it is not clear whether either fighter has verbally committed to the bout.
Couture, Franklin, Liddell, and Ortiz all on the same card could bring in some impressive PPV numbers for the UFC. If this one pans out, the rumored UFC 115 card would now include:
Randy Couture vs. Rich Franklin
Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz
Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
Tyson Griffin vs. Evan Dunham
Pat Barry vs. Gilbert Yvel
James Wilks vs. Peter Sobotta
