The UFC kicks off 2009 in a big way with UFC 93 emanating from Dublin, Ireland. “93” marks the first time the UFC has been back in Ireland since UFC 72: Victory on June 16^th, 2007, and with them they bring along former Middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin (who headlined the last Ireland event against Yushin Okami), and former PRIDE Welterweight, and Middleweight champion Dan “Hendo” Henderson in a clash that has been years in the making. Also thrown into the equation is the fact that UFC President Dana White has made it clear that the winner of this fight will be the coach for “Team USA” opposite Michael Bisping’s “Team UK” on the 9^th season of The Ultimate Fighter. Franklin has been very public with his hesitation to assume coaching duties again (he served as a coach on the show’s second season opposite Matt Hughes), whereas Henderson has said it would be an honor to represent his country yet again (as he did in the Olympic games). I wonder if this will serve as any added motivation for either fighter?
