Davion Franklin aims to put heavyweight division on notice with finish at Bellator 264

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Davion Franklin hopes that with a dominant win over Everett Cummings at Bellator 264, people start really knowing his name.

“I’m expecting me to go out there and be dominant,” Franklin told MMA Junkie. “Get this finish in dominant fashion like I’ve done. I’m expecting to really put myself on the map, to let these other heavyweights know that this guy is here. I’m the guy that y’all should be watching. I’m not calling anybody out, but I do expect sometime soon I will be the guy that people are gonna be calling out.

Bellator 264 takes place Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena. The main card airs on Showtime after prelims on MMA Junkie.

Check out the full interview with Franklin in the video above.
