I have heard that too. that fight was for title shot against franklin in october and since silva won it would make him the next contender. swick is floating around there somewhere but I think he is getting held back because he has lost to leben. It is not set in stone but I believe I heard it on a recent sherdog radio show with chris leben. here is part of an interview with franklin too.

MMAWeekly: With the injuries, are you still shooting for October?

Franklin: That’s what I’m hoping for. I have no clearance from anybody, but I believe that my body will be ready to go by October. Everything will be healed up well enough. We took some follow up X-rays and we sent them out to Dr. Sanders, the gentleman who did the surgery out in Las Vegas. He’s the one that cleared me to lift and roll and all of that stuff... we're going to do another set of X-rays soon, just to see how the hand is healing. I’m hoping to eventually get cleared to start hitting the heavy bags or something like that.

MMAWeekly: With the recent signing of Anderson Silva, and Nathan Marquardt last year, who do you see as the top contenders for the belt in your opinion?

Franklin: I think, right now, the four strongest contenders in the weight class would be Anderson Silva, Marquardt, Mike Swick, and Chris Leben, and not necessarily in the order that I named them in... but they are the four strongest competitors at 185 pounds, and I believe any one of those four would possibly be fighting for the title sometime in the next year. I don’t know. It depends on who the UFC puts me against.


look like the realistic list is very small, looks pretty likely. the real info though is in the sherdog radioshow if I am not mistaken.
