UFC 147: Silva vs. Franklin 2

UFC 147 was an Ultimate Fighting Championship event, held June 23 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The main event on the card was a fight between Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin, which Franklin won via unanimous decision.

Originally, UFC 147 was expected to host a highly anticipated fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, but due to scheduling conflicts with the Rio+20 conference, that fight was moved to UFC 148 in Las Vegas. At the time, the new UFC 147 main event was announced as Wanderlei Silva vs. Vitor Belfort. However in late May, Belfort was forced to withdraw due to a broken hand. He was replaced with Franklin, who met Wanderlei Silva at a 190-pound catchweight.

UFC 147 also hosted the live finale to "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" as part of its card.
