Rich Franklin Raffling off Pink Cast For Fight Against Breast Cancer

UFC light heavyweight Rich Franklin suffered a broken arm in his first round knockout victory over Chuck Liddell at UFC 115.

Pictured is the pink cast that had been on the light heavyweight's arm since UFC 115 which Liddell and himself both signed.

Franklin recently re-visited the doctor to see how the broken arm is healing and if he could get the cast off.

The result of the visit was that the arm is indeed healing properly and the light heavyweight is now in a smaller, lighter, and removable cast.

While a broken arm for most athletes would set them back, Franklin is making a positive out of the injury by raffling off the pink cast.

Susan G. Komen breast-cancer research will be the recipient of the raffling and details can be found at AmericanFighter.com .

American Fighter is Franklin and President Jeff Adler's apparel company and Adler spoke about the raffle for the Susan G. Komen foundation.

"So many lives are touched by breast cancer in one form or another and it's a horrible disease," Adler explained. Rich Franklin and myself have built the American Fighter brand on the motto of "Never Accept Defeat" and we are proud to help be a part of the awareness and raising money for the cure. Thanks to Susan G. Komen foundation for their support as well as UFC, Tapout, AOL and everyone who has helped with this fundraising raffle."
