UFC 103: Franklin vs. Belfort was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on September 19, 2009 in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center. The event was broadcast on pay-per-view.
This was the first UFC event to air a portion of the preliminary card live and commercial-free during an hour long block on Spike. The Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller, Drew McFedries vs. Tomasz Drwal, Rick Story vs. Brian Foster, and the Jim Miller vs. Steve Lopez fights were shown on Spike.
As a part of the UFC/ESPN UK regionalization strategy the bout of Paul Daley vs. Brian Foster was to air on ESPN (UK) prior to Daley replacing Mike Swick against Martin Kampmann.
The event was aired the same time Floyd Mayweather fought Juan Manuel Márquez. Mayweather/Márquez drew a smaller crowd (13,116) but its gate was considerably higher at $6,811,300. It also sold more PPV buys (1,000,000).
To date, this PPV had the largest amount of fights broadcast by the UFC.
It was announced on July 20, 2009 that Rich Franklin would headline UFC 103 against Dan Henderson. It was then announced on July 31, 2009 that fans were not happy with the announced headliner of Henderson-Franklin 2 so they changed the main event to feature Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort. "Fans didn't like it, so we changed it," UFC President Dana White said.
During a press conference, Dana White announced that the UFC had re-signed Belfort to a contract. His first match was against Rich Franklin at a catchweight of 195 lbs, headlining UFC 103, which he won by knockout three minutes and two seconds into the first round. - Zábava
Why did Belfort looked flat and out of shape there,he didnt have his usual pre usada lab physique.
back then the fighters who came from pride (which had zero drug testing) or other non tested organisations to the ufc, which had pre fight drug tests, took a while to adjust their cycles. Many pride fighters looked flat in their first few ufc fights. Once they figured it out they had some better performances.
Glass jaw Franklin was a disgrace
Franklin went 3 rnds with Hendo, his chin isn’t bad, Anderson Silva & Belfort can KO anyone on the planet
He was a former UFC champion.
Check Cung Lee v Franklin even more embarrassing for glass jaw Rich
Former champ with 2 title defences 🤡
he beat silva twice.
Vitor is a legend
Sorry, for all the michael bisping fanboys, many of y'alls legends are juicers, look at anderson silva and jon jones who popped, wonder why people only talk about vitor, when literally every old ufc legend was using steroids
Every current champion as well.
But no one used so much like him.
stephan bonner beat him too
Beat who
who'?????
