This is the UFC 103 live blog for Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort, the main event of the night's pay-per-view card.
I'm cageside at the American Airlines Center in Dallas for all the blow-by-blow. You can also keep track of all the action by following me on Twitter.
The live blog begins below.
Round one: Belfort was patient early as the southpaw kept his big left holstered. But when he let fired it, he hit his target. He floored Franklin with a left behind the ear that put the ex-UFC middleweight champ down, and followed with vicious strikes from the top as he announced his return with a bang.
Winner: Vitor Belfort by TKO at 3:02
