Hermes Franca Free Agent, Needs Fight...

Former UFC lightweight contender Hermes Franca needs a job.

The 35-year-old Brazilian was released from the UFC following his first stoppage loss to Tyson Griffin, a bout in which Franca missed weight by four pounds.

MMAInsider on Tuesday received this email from manager Reed Wallace of White Chocolate Management:

"We are looking for serious offers. Hermes is back in shape and ready to take on all comers at 170 !!!!!!!! We are moving up in weight as Hermes is much stronger at this weight. In his last fight he was unable to make 155 and had to fight at 159 which was the maximumhe could get down to and had to starve himself for 5 days to get there. He feels good at 170 and has beentraining daily and ready to "whip some ass"......He is one of the most recognized faces in the sport and one of the greatest performers.

Who can forget UFC 5 round World Championship Title Belt bout with Sean Sherk ?

If your organization or event is ready to be world class with world class fighters, contact White Chocolate.

There is no better known face in MMA today that is a free agent. Hermes Franca............

Ben Henderson OK, Jan/Feb Title Bout Under Consideration

Other than the usual bumps and bruises, newly crowned WEC interim lightweight champion Ben Henderson is healthy and in great spirits after his fight of the year candidate with Donald Cerrone at WEC 43 on Saturday.

Henderson took a brief trip to a San Antonio hospital after the fight to evaluate his eye for an upkick he took in last thirty seconds of the fifth round, and was released Saturday night. No other serious injuries were detected.

The 25 year-old Korean-American fighter flew back home on Sunday, where more than 200 fans, friends, and family were waiting for him at his gym, The Lab, in Glendale, Ariz. He signed autographs and took pictures for two hours.

A bout to unify the lightweight title is under consideration for January or February in Phoenix, according to Beck, where The Lab sits across town from Varner's gym, Arizona Combat Sports.

On Saturday, both Varner and Henderson welcomed a December date. Varner was recently cleared to spar after suffering with a hand injury he sustained in a bout with Cerrone in January at WEC 38. Still, it appears Henderson will need more time before he starts camp for Varner.
