Wow it has been a while since I wrote about MMA so I figured I would again and provide you with my take to the bank predictions.
Rich “Ace” Franklin steps in the place of Tito Ortiz who is forced to remove himself from the fight after sustaining a neck injury. Franklin will take on the popular Chuck “Iceman” Liddell. Liddell is not the same fighter as in his hay day but still has powerful knockout ability.The Iceman has lost four of his last five fights and again will face a formidable opponent in Franklin. After his brutal knockout by Rashad Evans I thought Liddell would consider retiring but apparently he has a lot more fight left in him.
Franklin is also a veteran of the octagon like Liddell, he doesn’t have that one punch knockout power like Liddel but uses his combination’s and quick kicks to keep his opponents off balance.
Much is being said of the physique of Iceman who is sporting some rock hard abs in place of his usual pot belly, but it takes more than rock hard abs to win in MMA.
I see this fight going the distance with a decision to Franklin. I just don’t see Liddel being able to land that one solid punch and knockout Franklin. I believe Franklin will will amass enough points technically to squeak out a win, but who the hell knows I have been wrong before. If I really knew who was going to win the fight I would bet all my money in Vegas. So tell me what you think about this fight. Who do you think is going to win and how?

I’m going for Liddell mainly because it’ll keep him relevant until Liddell-Ortiz 3 if it happens..but it’s the Crocop match that has me pumped!
The UFC 115 pre-fight press conference on MMABay later today featuring all the major fighters competing this weekend in Vancouver.its a strong war between two major forces.soom
UFC is so awesome to watch live. It seems like the fighters really feed of the energy of the crowd and is a site to see in person.
Its amazing to me how popular UFC got so fast. I wonder if the long term popularity will be there or if it will fade out as quick as it came.
yes it was a big great fight i love the Chuck “the iceman” Lidell and I’m looking forward to watch more of his fight at the Octagon.
I love the emotion and raw energy that comes across during UFC and MMA. I think one day it could prove to be even more popular that boxing and professional wrestling.
I wonder who won this match? MMA, is my second best, after wrestling (WWF)
Chuck Liddell is a legend! When was this? I can’t find it online anywhere. I hope Liddell won, but I’ve got a feeling it would have been a victory to Franklin.
