Nicht Schlect: Franklin vs. Silva Ist Der Main Event at UFC 99
(Sometimes Wanderlei uses Lil’ Wanderlei to say things he can’t, such as ‘I’m sorry,’ and ‘I love you,’ and ‘What’s this catchweight shit about?’)
UFC.com today officially announced Rich Franklin/Wanderlei Silva as the main event for UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany on UFC 99, which has been dubbed “The Comeback.” Yes, they already used that one for a season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” but so what? It’s Germany. They’re too busy screwing around with soccer and modernist architecture to know what’s happening on American TV.
As previously rumored, the bout will take place at a catchweight of 195 pounds, which is kind of odd since both Franklin and Silva last fought at 205 pounds. But it only seems to make no sense because you haven’t heard Dana White’s explanation yet:
“Everyone knows Rich moved up to light heavyweight a couple of fights ago while Wanderlei is planning on fighting at 185lbs from now on, but this fight is too exciting a match not to happen and both these guys deserve a ton of credit for taking this fight at 195lbs.”
