The UFC officially announced UFC 103 card today. It will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on September 19, though no main event has been announced as of yet.
The four fights included thus far:
155lbs: Tyson Griffin vs. Hermes Franca
170lbs: Josh Koscheck vs. Frank Trigg
155lbs: Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller
170lbs: Mike Swick vs. Martin Kampmann
265lbs: Mirko CroCop vs. Junior Dos Santos
Rich Franklin is rumored to be involved, and whomever his opponent is, is likely to headline the event. A quick scan of the listed 205′ers shows that most high-mid level fighters are already booked into fights. Only guys could be Wanderlei Silva (doubt they’d book a rematch so soon), or Luis Cane (though Cane is tough, he’s not well known), so I’m quite curious to see who they come up with. Chuck Liddell is taking a year sabbatical, but Chuck Liddell vs Rich Franklin would definitely fit the bill as a worthy main event. Guess we’ll see.
