First the opponent, now the weight class?

Former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin’s (25-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC)
training plans continue to change, and a recently announced UFC 103
main-event bout with Vitor Belfort (16-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) will now take
place at a catchweight of 195 pounds instead of the originally
announced light heavyweight class.

“Just found out I will be fighting Vitor at a catchweight of 195
(pounds) as per his request,” Franklin today posted on his Twitter
account.
