Rich Frankin arrested at LAX in case of mistaken identity

It appears that there's another Rich Franklin out there with a criminal record, and MMA's Rich Frankin got arrested at LAX because of that.

It was not a good day to be Rich Franklin on Tuesday. The former UFC middleweight champion was flying home from Asia after attending to his duties as an executive One Championship, but had quite the experience at LAX trying to get back into the country. It's something he's had to deal with for a while, but according to Franklin, it had never come close to escalating to the point of being arrested before.
