UFC 99- Franklin Beats Wanderlei

- Rich Franklin won a unanimous decision over Wanderlei Silva at UFC 99 on Saturday in the sport's first show in its newest territory.

Fighting at a catchweight of 195 pounds as Franklin moves up toward light heavyweight and Silva down toward middleweight, these two former champions delighted fans for three full rounds.

Franklin's movement dictated the pace in the second round. Silva finally connected and wobbled Franklin, bullsrushing him at the fence. Franklin survived and the fight returned to the middle of the cage.

The two fighters traded attacks in the third round. Franklin kept moving for the most part, darting in to attack at time times, while Silva mostly looked for the knockout. The Brazilian attacked Franklin at the fence in the final seconds but paid for it by being taken down.
