"Rich has to make a decision. We've certainly considered going to 205 and seeing how he does up there. He's fought almost everybody in the 185-pound division. There are some guys that he could fight, but if he beats them it knocks them out of title contention. And nobody is looking to see Rich and Anderson Silva 3 right now, including me. He's not helping the 185-pound division right now by beating everybody up in it. We've talked about going to 205 and how would he match up with some of those guys, with a Forrest Griffin or a Keith Jardine. There's a whole bunch of 205's that I think would be interesting. In the end, we do what the UFC wants. If they want us to try 205, we're up for it. If they want to keep us at 185, then we'll do that too."
-Manager Monte Cox tells MMAweekly that former UFC middleweight champion (and light heavyweight competitor) Rich "Ace" Franklin is considering a return to light heavyweight if it makes sense for all parties involved.
