Vitor Belfort will return to the UFC in a light-heavyweight bout against Rich Franklin at UFC 103 on Sept. 19 in Dallas, the promotion announced today.

Franklin (25-4) was originally announced to face former PRIDE middleweight and light-heavyweight titleholder Dan Henderson (25-7) at the event but due to the lack of interest in the rematch from UFC 93, the UFC shuffled the main event.

"The fans didn’t like it, so we’re going to change it," UFC president Dana White said Friday.
