Rich Franklin is shooting for the stars with his idea for one final fight in the UFC. Greg Zuerlein Jersey . With one bout left on his contract, the teacher-turned-fighter is quite enthusiastic about the possibility of completing the trilogy with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva and even beating him for the first time. "Would I fight Anderson a third time? Absolutely," Franklin said on Submission Radio on Monday. "Is it because I feel like I have some unfinished business? Not at all. Its just, in my mind as a champion and to have the mentality of a champion I 100 per cent, wholeheartedly believe that I can beat Anderson in a fight." Franklin has lost to Silva in each of their two previous matchups, both via TKO by way of knees. In the first contest at UFC 64, Franklin lost the Middleweight Championship in what was the beginning of Silvas record reign with the title. But Franklin has been long since removed from his tussles with Silva. Since his second loss to the Brazilian at UFC 77 in October 2007, Franklin went on to face a slew of top talent. He beat Wanderlei Silva twice and Chuck Liddel once, but fell to veterans Dan Henderson, Forrest Griffin and Cung Le along the way. He has not fought since his knockout defeat by Le in November 2012. But Franklin says none of that matters. To him, the matchup seems a favourable one. "It wouldnt be for any reason like redemption or vengeance or retribution or any other kinda cool word that weve seen on a UFC poster before, but yeah I would fight him and I believe I could beat him." The water on the Silva subject is muddy right now though. After breaking his leg in his most recent bout with now Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman, the 39-year-old has ruled himself out for the entire year and isnt expected back until 2015. As for Franklin, who would be 40 by the time the bout could happen, he doesnt think Silva is down for the count just yet. "Id look for him (Silva) to return and Id look for him to hunt for the title again at some point in time," says Franklin. "Well just see if he can get there." Jared Goff Jersey . Josh Bailey had a goal and an assist as the New York Islanders earned a 2-1 win over Ottawa Wednesday, leaving the Senators five points out of a playoff spot with just five games to play and four teams ahead of them. John Sullivan Jersey . This week, topics cover the World Series champion Red Sox, John Farrell and what to look forward to this off-season. http://www.laramsfansshop.com/c-58-rams-gerald-everett-jersey.aspx . There will be no Down Under four-peat for Djokovic, as the eighth-seeded Swiss slugger Wawrinka outlasted the second seed 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 9-7 at Melbourne Parks Rod Laver Arena in yet another five-set thriller in their burgeoning rivalry.Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - LeBron James had 29 points and 11 assists playing just three quarters and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to a 106-74 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday night to snap a four-game losing streak. James had 22 points in the first half to help the Cavaliers take an 18-point lead into the break and they went up by as many as 33 in the fourth quarter. Anderson Varejao added 14 points and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving each scored 12 for Cleveland, which also snapped a three-game home losing streak. A win will always make things feel better, said James, but we still have a lot of work to do. Victor Oladipo had 22 points and Nikola Vucevic scored 18 with 13 rebounds to lead the Magic, who have dropped eight in a row to the Cavs and four of their last six games overall. They played a second straight game without starting forward Tobias Harris, who is nursing a strained right calf. Harris averages 18.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Were missing 19 points, said Magic coach Jacque Vaughn. That puts pressure on other guys to do things they dont normally do. It was a season low in points for the Magic. Your goal should be 22 points or under a quarter (on defense) and we did that, said Cavaliers coach David Blatt. We made soome small adjustments but things were looking pretty good so we didnt need to reinvent the wheel. Eric Dickerson Jersey. Clevelands win meant avoiding a rare five-game losing streak with James as a member of the team. The last time the Cavs lost five in a row with James on the roster came during a six-game skid from Nov. 28-Dec. 8, 2007 -- but James missed the last five of that streak with a sprained finger and the team won his first game back. James first stint with the Cavs lasted from 2003-10. He scored 16 points in the first quarter, five of them coming during a 9-0 run punctuated by Will Cherrys 3-pointer for a 26-14 lead. The Cavs advantage reached 21 on Tristan Thompsons dunk with 3 1/2 minutes left in the second quarter. James scored his 22 first-half points on 7-of-12 shooting while Vucevic led Orlando with 16 points. Cleveland shot better than 51 percent in the half and the Magic shot under 34 percent. The Cavs lead reached 26 in the third quarter at the end of a dunk-filled 16-2 run. Game Notes The Cavs had 30 assists on 42 made field goals ... Orlandos last win in the series came Nov. 23, 2012 ... The Cavaliers play Washington on Wednesday ... The Magic are home against Golden State on Wednesday.
