Ultimate Fighting Challenge Fighter Rich Franklin is back in the Cincinnati area and preparing himself for further competition. You've seen Rich Franlin on Pay-Per-View and Spike TV. ASAP Athletic Strength And Power caught up with Rich when he ventured back to Oak Hills High School, where he once taught Mathematics. He's been teaching a different lesson as of late...I guess you could consider it a PowerPoint presentation, but of the UFC variety. We asked Rich about his present training regimen and nutrtional program. Here's what he had to say: ASAP Podcasts are MP3 files that can often take up to five minutes to dowload.
