MMAFO wishes to congratulate one of our all time favorites on his imminent induction into the UFC Hall of Fame!
In 37 professional appearances, "Ace"amassed a 29-7 record including capturing the UFC Middleweight Championship at UFC 53, June 4th, 2005. Franklin also earned his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Jorge Gurgel, holds the record for "most significant strikes in a UFC Middleweight Championship bout," and is currently the Vice President of ONE Championship.
Rich was one of the rare "good guys" in the sport always open to the fans and an honorable sportsman to his peers. The Ohioan always had a Jim Carrey smile which earned him his "Ace" nickname as he competed at the highest level of MMA for 12 years.
MMAFO applauds a great human being who lived life the right way and is a great example for all. Thank you Rich Franklin!
