A recently announced UFC 103 main event between Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson, two fighters who have bounced between the middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions, will likely be contested at 205 pounds.

While a guest on today’s edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio, Franklin, who also confirmed he’s signed a new six-fight deal with the UFC, said he hasn’t been told definitely but that he’s “assuming” the fight will be at light heavyweight.

On Monday the UFC announced the surprise booking, which is a rematch from the first Franklin vs. Henderson fight that took place in January at UFC 93, but didn’t specify the weight for the bout.
