Former UFC Middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin failed to stop former UFC Light Heavyweight champion and current Cage Rage Light Heavyweight champion Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort from attempting a comeback in the Octagon.

In the main event of UFC 103 on September 19, 2009 (September 20, Sunday here in the Philippines) at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, USA, Belfort let loose a big left that sent Franklin to the ground and followed it up with vicious strikes from the top. The fight was stopped by the referee at 3:02 of the very first round.
