He is a former two-time UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) middleweight champion and, until his retirement in 2012, had a match record of 29 wins, seven losses and one uncontested fight. That! And why are we telling you this? Because this beautiful Chevrolet Camaro Custom Coupe (VIN 123377N200862) from 1967 Franklin (still) owns. He was once given the vehicle by Dana White (UFC President) as a thank you for his work as a coach on the television show The Ultimate Fighter. It was built by Matt Hunt Muscle Cars.
