UFC 88 adds three more fights
Rich Franklin will join in the extravaganza that is UFC 88 as he is set to take on Matt Hamill in a light heavyweight clash. It will be the first 205 pound fight for Franklin in more than three years. The last time Franklin entered the realm of the light heavies, he KO’d the legendary Ken Shamrock. Hamill will have a stiff test as only two fighters have ever bested Franklin.
Dan Henderson will also set foot in the octagon at UFC 88 when he squares off against Rousimar Palhares. Henderson is looking to get back on the winning track after two straight losses to Anderson Silva and Quinton Jackson. Palhares, a submission specialist, debuted with a win at UFC 84 and has an overall professional record of 8-1.
The last in this trio of new bouts showcases welterweight Karo Parisyan against Yoshiyuki Yoshida. Parisyan has won eight out off his last ten fights, however he was one of the most recent victims of Thiago Alves. Ironically, Alves and Diego Sanchez were the two men responsible for Parisyan’s last two defeats and it is those two who be featured in a more highly touted bout at UFC 90. Sherdog has a few more details on these new fights.
