UFC on Fuel TV 6: Franklin vs Le video teaser
On Saturday, November 10, the UFC will mark its first ever trip to China as part of their final FUEL TV card of the year.
The main event will see former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin (29-6, 1 NC) against former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le (8-2).
Cung Le (age 40) is a former International Kickboxing Federation light heavyweight world champion, having a professional Sanshou record of 16-0 before moving to mixed martial arts (Le also held an undefeated kick-boxing record of 17-0). In his last match he got a victory against Patrick Cote at UFC 148, but is the match with Wanderlei Silva that made history: at UFC 139 Le had a good start with his kicks, and landed a spinning backfist that dropped Silva. During the second round, Silva bombed Le with huge punches and knees that completely broke Le’s nose. Le was stunned, bloody and fell to the ground, and the fight was stopped by the ref (= Wanderlei Silva vs Cung Le). In the same night there was a “Fight of the Year” and currently our most
Fedor ‘The Last Emperor’ Emelianenko has always been a thorn in the side of Dana White.
The UFC president has almost ever taken what he wanted to take. Almost.
It’s also no secret that Emelianenko retired without ever fighting for the UFC, in spite of the several attempts that Dana did to make him sign to fight in the Octagon.
During the years, White has been critical of Emelianenko’s regard as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, but now that the Russian has retired, he can be more honest about his value.
“Do I think that Fedor is one of the greatest heavyweights ever? Yes, he’s one of the greatest heavyweights ever. I’ll give you that,” White said.
But while White considers UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva as
Alexander Volkov highlights

Junior dos Santos highlights
Junior ‘Cigano’ dos Santos is the current UFC Heavyweight Champion and is ranked as the number one heavyweight fighter in the world by numerous media outlets. He is undefeated in the UFC (MMA 15-1-0) and seven of the nine UFC victories came by way of knockout or TKO. In the two decisions he’s had, dos Santos has made a mess of his opponents, so the word “unanimous” leaves no doubts (against Roy Nelson at UFC 117 and Shane Carwin at UFC 131).
Despite his great accomplishments, dos Santos is rarely mentioned in the mythical “pound-for-pound” discussion.
But a man could change this, if they ever meet: Jon ‘Bones’ Jones.
The UFC light heavyweight champion has teased for months about potentially moving up to heavyweight, and said recently he might
