Our first prediction for the upcoming UFC 115 event is the Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell versus Rich ‘Ace’ Franklin main event.

Chuck Liddell
‘The Iceman’ has long been a feared contendor in the octagon with his incredible standup as well as his incredible takedown defense. His counter punching is legendary and has more knockouts than many UFC fighters have fights. He will fight to the end and never quit.

Rich Franklin
‘Ace’ is also a UFC veteran and has a ton of heart, a quick jab, and unerringly accurate punching. He has a solid ground game and great takedown defense as well. He is diverse in his striking and brings a lot of angles to the fight.

Prediction: This fight WILL go the distance. Franklin will avoid the heavy blows of Liddell (although he will get tagged a couple times) and, in typical Franklin-style, he will land more blows (including kicks). This will be a unanimous decision by the judges and not a disputed one by the fans.
