Tonight 9/19 the UFC will be presenting UFC 103. No title fights are scheduled in the event. The return of Belford to the UFC fighting the once great and somewhat fallen from grace Rich Franklin marquees this event. Also interesting are the Cro-Cop Dos Santos fight as well as the Koscheck Trigg bout.

Not a great set of fights but what can you expect only two days after the UFC Fight Night 19. Maybe the UFC should start spacing their events out a little more to increase excitement (??).

Here is the card and my pick. Watch and enjoy.

Main Card:
Catchweight 195 Rich Franklin vs Vitor Belfort - Rich Franklin by KO (round 3)
Heavyweight Junior dos Santos vs Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic - Junior dos Santos by KO (round 1)
Welterweight Martin Kampmann vs Paul Daley - Martin Kampmann by KO (round 2)
Welterweight Josh Koscheck vs Frank Trigg - Josh Koscheck by Dec
Lightweight Tyson Griffin vs Hermes Franca - Tyson Griffin by KO (round 3)

Preliminary Card:
Lightweight Efrain Escudero vs Cole Miller - Cole Miller by Sub (round 2)
Light Heavyweight Drew McFedries vs Tomasz Drwal - Tomasz Drwal by KO (round 1)
Lightweight Jim Miller vs Steve Lopez - Jim Miller by Sub (round 3)
Lightweight Nik Lentz vs Rafaello Oliveira - Nik Lentz by Sub (round 2)
Welterweight Ricky Story vs Brian Foster - Ricky Story by Dec
Light Heavyweight Eliot Marshall vs Jason Brilz - Jason Brilz by Sub (round 2)
Light Heavyweight Vladimir Matyushenko vs Igor Pokrajac - Igor Pokrajac by Dec
Lightweight Rafael dos Anjos vs Robert Emerson - Rafael dos Anjos by Sub (round 3)

Well as expected, no great fights tonight. Frankiln loses again (to Belfort this time). Cro Cop quits after his eye gets hurt in round one. The submission of the night belongs to Rick Story who pulls an arm triangle while in Foster's guard and Koshcheck dominates Trigg by KO on round one.

Here are the results:

The born-again Franklin ("Jesus wants me to beat up people") got to see God for a few minutes last night. Got to love that.
