Today on Junkie: Faith in Stephens

My report on Hermes Franca was posted last night. I'll know more by the middle of next week when he sees a second - and maybe a third surgeon - to determine who will perform the surgery. Franca and his camp are exploring every avenue and not taking any chances. Even in his mid-30s, Franca still has a career in the cage ahead of him and many athletes, with the right rehab program, have come back from ACL surgeries stronger than before.

Franca is in Tampa., Fla., for Fight Night 17 to support his protege, Jeremy Stephens, for his fight with Joe Lauzon. Lauzon was supposed to be Franca's opponent until the latter was felled by the torn ACL in his right knee.
