Which Chuck Liddell will we see at UFC 115?

UFC 115 in Vancouver, British Columbia has the potential to be a great card. This could potentially be Chuck’s last fight. It could potentially be Cro Cops last fight in the UFC. This could be Kampmann’s biggest win of his career. It appears from the face that the UFC will make a big splash in America’s top hat this weekend.

Chuck is coming off of another successful season of the Ultimate Fighter. He will get ready to face off against Rich Franklin. With a win Chuck will be put back on track. Even though Chuck is far past his prime, he can win this fight with one punch. That being said you have to give the edge to Rich in this fight. Rich is a younger fighter. That is the main advantage that he has over Chuck. He will have the ability to go the distance as well as have the physical ability to last three rounds. That being said Chuck and Tito would have been an epic fight and I hope it is the fight that retires both great warriors.

Cro Cop has been a disappointment since he has stepped into the octagon. I really hope that he is able to finish this fight with a left kick. Cro Cop is a great fighter that has great stand-up ability but he has seemed very hesitant to throw his legs. I hope in his next fight he has the ability to finish Barry or it could be his last fight in the UFC. If Barry beats Mirko he will have another fight in the UFC. If he stops Cro Cop he could be catapulted up in the ranks of the heavy weights.

Kampmann and Thiago will be a great fight. This is the fight that has the potential to be fight of the night. Thiago will have his hands full with the speedy Kampmann. In order to win Kampmann must stay off the ground at all cost. Kampmann has the stand-up advantage and Thiago has the ground advantage. Usually fights that have such polar opposites are barnburners.

Overall the UFC is putting on a good card. It might be one to check out at the local bar because if Chuck and Cro cop don’t perform and it’s a big if, you might be disappointed. This could be the end of Chuck’s career so stay tuned, he might have a post fight announcement.
