Franca to get title shot in July
Quote:
UFC president Dana White announced at the UFC Fight Night post-show press conference last night that Hermes Franca would indeed be the next man in line for a shot at the Lightweight title.

Champion of the Lightweight division Sean Sherk is still recovering from an injury suffered in his championship winning performance against Kenny Florian. Because of that, Dana White mentioned the Sherk-Franca title bout would likely be held off until July.

Hermes Franca gained his eighth straight victory last night by scoring a TKO stoppage win over Spencer Fisher. After the bout Franca pulled a GSP-and got on his knees to request a title shot from Dana White. The purple-haired Brazilian apparently got his wish.
Sherk better win and further establish himself as a force in the Lightweight Divsion. Sherk has a good chin to he toke alot of Kennys shots in there fight so it will be interesting to seee how it unfolds

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free

Re: Franca to get title shot in July
Kinda surprised BJ Penn didn't just drop weight and get an immediate title shot vs Sherk. Kinda sucks it's takes till July for it to happen but it should be a good fight.

Re: Franca to get title shot in July
BJ Penn has said openly hes only droping to LW to face Pulver and coach TUF, Other then that all his plans are in the Welterweight Divsion. So thats why hes not getting a shot at the title. But yeah it sucks that Sherks injury is gonna take so long to heal, Should be a good fight ethier way.
