UFC 147: Silva vs. Franklin II was a mixed martial arts pay-per-view event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on June 23, 2012 at Mineirinho Arena in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

[3] Daniel Sarafian was originally scheduled to compete in the Middleweight finals, but pulled out due to injury.

[8] Plans were then being made for Featherweight champion José Aldo, who was scheduled to defend his title at UFC 149, to headline this event.

However, it was reported April 28, 2012, that Aldo would remain on the UFC 149 card and defend his title against Erik Koch.

Due to the multitude of changes to the main card, the UFC offered a full refund for any ticket-holder no longer wanting to see the event live.
