UFC 115: Liddel vs Franklin, not Ortiz (official)

AWESOME FIGHT

Damn great fight, but Chuck went from fighting Tito who honestly offered no threat to him, to Franklin who is a very dangerous fight for him.

Still I'm pumped, sucks one of these guys has to lose

So why exactly was Dana trying to bullshit for so long acting like it was still Chuck/Tito? I get more pissed this card didn't get moved to Cincy everyday

I think it has to do with spoilers for the TV show. Expect something to happen Wednesday night where Tito is forced to leave and Rich Franklin steps in.

Anyway Franklin vs Liddell is a much better match up because these are two legends who have never faced each other and they both strikers with power so I expect a war and a finish. The only down side is I don't know who to root for. These are 2 of my favorite fighters of all time. It's like Franklin v Hendo all over again.

FUCKING GAAAYYYYY!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK I HATE THIS.

Exactly, love them both. Fucking hate this.

Tito has been saved.

Some interesting fights on that card. A maybe on ALves vs Fitch I think too.

MAIN CARD

* Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
* Patrick Barry vs. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic
* Paulo Thiago vs. Martin Kampmann
* Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
* Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
* Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
* Peter Sobotta vs. James Wilks
* Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
* Jesse Lennox vs. Mike Pyle

Yeah I thought Alves-Fitch was supposed to be on this card. Pretty sick and Yvel-Rothwell and Condit-McDonald should be on Spike prelims as well (if Condit fight gets moved off main card) hopefully although the UFC has a fucking hard-on for sticking TUF winners on there over actual good fights

Cant this be a tag team

Chuck and Rich vs Tito's pussy ass

When they showed previews for the season there were still mass clips of Tito. I think it may be longer than that

Chuck beat Guy, Rich beat Ken

oh who to pick

plus both are way past the hill

this is a bad card IMO

Oh so now we know what Dana's announcement was in the preview.

WAR FRANKLIN !!!!!!!!!!

This card is going to be fucking awesome for action fights, it just doesn't have a true main event on it really

Berry Cro Cop headliner

really???

Like I said its short on big, meaningful fights but its got balls to the wall action written all over it.

hopefully Yvel Rothwell will make tv

Plus last Monday it was announced Alves-Fitch was on this card. Not sure why its not listed

unfortunatly I think chuck gets koed here

Fitch-Alves will be on the card as soon as Alves gets medically cleared. I'll definitely be ordering this

Franklin does not have power. He has only KO'd one guy and that was because he hit him right on the button. Chuck has power, Rampage has power, Koscheck has power, Wand has power, you get the point I would not put rich anywhere near these guys in the power category.

Anyone who can stop a guy with body kicks must have something behind them. He's not in the league with the guys you named, but his strikes are solid.

Plus he puts a lot together, I actually think Rich is gonna win this by decision

Good point, someone was supposed to leave by surprise right? could be Tito and Rich steps
