UFC 115 predictions

Even though some of his fans may be upset that they don’t get to see Chuck Liddell beat Tito Ortiz up again, they should be happy that he is facing a stellar opponent in Rich Franklin. At UFC 115 the world will see if Chuck’s new look will help him get back on track or if this is the end of the Iceman. Franklin also has a lot on the line with this fight too, he’s looking to make a run at the title so a lose here would be devastating.

Word around town is the winner will probably face Forrest Griffin who was scheduled to fight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 114 but pull out with a shoulder injury that forced him into surgery. A possible Griffin vs. Liddell or Franklin is rather intriguing and will add another element to the main event.

The nights co-main event will feature Mirko Cro Cop vs. Pat Berry which really should be a very fun and entertaining fight to watch. UFC 115 should be a hell of a card with top fighters like Martin Kampman, Carlos Condit, Gilbert Yvel and Tyson Griffin.
