UFC 115 takes place tonight in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. While the fight card is pretty deep and has some very intriguing matchups, this is one of those rare cards when the main event is about fifth on the list of fights I am interested in watching.
Rich Franklin and Chuck Liddell will be the last fight of the night in the octagon. Both fighters have had great careers and have done wonders for the sport. They are easily two of most recognizable figures in the UFC and mixed martial arts. Franklin and Liddell also just happen to be two of the most respected and likeable guys in the game. All of that being said, I don’t believe either guy will be challenging for a title anytime soon.
I really like both fighters and think the fight will be very entertaining. This fight was supposed to be Liddell versus Tito Ortiz to highlight the end of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. Ortiz’s neck injury and surgery scrapped that and Franklin stepped in late, but his addition lent another big name to the card.
