Also, who is to say that Franklin would even still have the title when it came time for Horn to challenge, or that Horn would have earned a title shot?
I may be overthinking it, but it just sounded weird to me. The UFC lost a good fighter.

His 3 fight deal ended. UFC chose not to re-sign him.

He also said something about not wanting to stay around in the MW division, because he and Franklin are friends and they would not fight each other. I think he may not have been that interested in being re-signed.

And he's your friend, you know he's not going to hold anything against you. You'd think they could put everything aside for 15-25 minutes and get business done. Get that money and then share a beer afterwards.
