| Michael "lil Warrior" Franco kicked off his career in 2005 and over the next four years had racked up 16 wins without a loss. Along with the unblemished record, Franco had built a loyal following and a strong buzz but in 2010 he was misdiagnosed with a detached retina which later turned out to be 3 pin holes in the retina. He was not allowed to train and in that time put on as much as 20 pounds. After undergoing eye surgery and nearly a year off, Franco was presented with a fight and was anxious to get back in the ring. He took the fight and pulled out the win but admits it wasn't his best performance. Now Franco is back on track and has found a new home at the talent deep 126 weight class. Catch Franco this Saturday May 21,2011 as he takes on Rafael Lara at the Morongo Casino in Cabazon Ca. |
