UFC 115: Liddell vs Franklin in-depth preview

fastest sellout and a mediocre card. People from Vancouver deserved better,no diss to the fighters.

This is a good card dude, all these fighters on the card are really good

I agree it's not the strongest card. All the UFC cards are good, as are the fighters, but this one is lacking that blockbuster fight that everyone has been waiting for, like a Machida/Shogun or Evans/Rampage. I think we have had some great UFC cards this year, which makes this one appear a little weak by comparison.

Pretty solid card that has lots of potential for some great fights. Not the biggest name though...

This is not the greatest card, but I'm still looking forward to it...Rich Franklin for the win.

Jim Carrey is gonna win...

This card may not have the biggest names, but the Cro Cop/Barry fight looks to be packin fireworks - that is the main event to me.

I think there is some good names on this card..... Tyson Griffin vs. Evan Dunham should be good. Loiseau has a fight, he is always exciting to watch. I am interested in seeing Wilks in action again. Cro Cop vs Barry has a ton of potential! Finally, the main event is gonna be very difficult for me to pick.... I guess you gotta have a very mainstream, over-hyped name to get casual fans excited. Either way, come fight night everyone should be pleased!

He's not getting any better or younger and he can't even get his leg above his belly anymore.He hasn't swung a kick since 2001 and he's a kick boxer? Basically he's now reduced to being a boxer with takedown defence.

He's getting a bit sluggish too. Throws 1 kick every 6 minutes and then just watches himself get beat up..unless he fights someone else who's past it . Then it would make for an even fight (stroll around a ring)

Hopefully Chuck doesnt feel the ring rust as bad as Rampage did

Chuck might be out his prime, and not near as good as he use to be, but he has done alot for the sport , and being one of his fans im looking forward to this fight..

this fight is retarted. neither chuck nor franklin could do anything in the lhw division no more. i'd rather see davis vs brilz

Chuck has done a great deal for our sport. That being said, he is now clealry pregnant and in no shape to fight Jim Carey.

Regardless it's gonna be a strikefest

I just don't want to see Chuck have a miscarriage on PPV. It will be horrible if he loses the baby. He's been carrying it since his Rampage fight (in the UFC, not Pride). If Chuck drops the child in the octagon after being kicked in the ribs, I'll cry.

This Saturday night should be a big surprise to many who believe Chuck will not win. The age will not mean much between 35-40 but will be somewhat of an equalizer with five years of youth for Rich and due to the fact Chuck is a much bigger opponent. Rich is a true 185 pounder fighting a true 205 pounder. What makes a true 185 is someone that cuts weight and gets there and wins. They way you put it is Chuck is a true heavyweight because he naturally weighs 225 or more he is not a hwt fighter, he cuts weight to be a true 205 to be at his best. Rich naturally weighs 205 of course, but sports with weight divisions, true weight is your best competition weight

Both were champions but they are not meeting at 195 halfway, they are meeting up at 205 which will give Chuck a big advantage size wise. Chuck is the better boxer and is almost never taken down by the greatest wrestlers. People need to realize also when they talk about conditioning will go to Franklin, this could be true if it were a five round fight but its only three rounds. I see no takedowns, and better strikes from a bigger fighter in Chuck. I believe with only three rounds Chuck can get the knockout or score and keep enough distance to win a three round decision. I see Liddell winning Saturday night. USWF
