UFC 115 Predictions: Chuck Liddell vs Rich Franklin Odds

The UFC 115 odds tonight for the fight card in Vancouver will have a superb light heavyweight bout between two former champions as Rich “Ace” Franklin will take on Chuck “Iceman” Liddell with the winner having the inside track for a future light heavyweight title bout. Liddell makes no bones about his future plans. “I plan on making another run for the title,” said Liddell this week. Franklin -125 is a slight betting favorite in UFC predictions at online sportsbooks while Liddell is a -105 longshot.

In a heavyweight bout on tonight’s main card another man has a similar dream as Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic is gunning for a heavyweight title fight but must defeat Pat Barry tonight in order to make that possible. Cro Cop is actually a +140 underdog in UFC 115 odds against “Get Hype” Barry who is a -170 betting favorite at online sportsbooks. “I will keep fighting as long as I can,” said Cro Cop. The concern for both fighters, however, is their recent performances as they appear unable to step into elite status anymore. Bet Rich Franklin -125 as the favorite in UFC 115 predictions vs Chuck Liddell with up to a $100 bonus and 10% cash back in the casino for today only.

Liddell has lost four out of his last five bouts while Crop Cop has not won a top Mixed Martial Arts bout since 2006. In fact, both fighters considered retirement after recent failures but decided to make another title run instead. Barry has a lot of respect for Cro Cop and considers him a legitimate threat in their bout tonight. “He’s not older, slower, weaker, nothing,” said Barry. “It’s everybody else got better is what happened.” Franklin was a champion in the middleweight division and is not used to fighting at this increased weight. But he couldn’t turn down a shot at Liddell. “When you have the opportunity to fight someone like Chuck, that’s just not something you can turn down.”
