Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva are headlining UFC 147 with a 190 pound catch-weight fight. Silva was originally supposed to fight Vitor Belfort as the main event, but Belfort had to pull out due to breaking his hand while training. This set up the rematch between Franklin and Silva. In UFC 99, back in June of 2009, Rich Franklin defeated Silva by unanimous decision. Three years later Silva will be looking for revenge for that defeat at UFC 147.
