That day again, UFC night, main event featuring Chuck “Iceman” Liddell face off against Rich “Ace” Franklin. In a fight that was suppose to see Chuck square off against rival “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz, until he had to pull out during their training through TUF due to spinal/neck nerve issues, after a long year break Chuck will make his return against someone possibly tougher: Richard Franklin.

here’s the main cards with their weigh-in results:

Main Event:
Rich Franklin (205) VS Chuck Liddell (205)

Main Card:
Pat Barry (248) VS Mirko Cro Cop (235)
Gilbert Yvel (243) VS Ben Rothwell (264)
Rory MacDonald (170) VS Carlos Condit (170)
Martin Kampmann (170) VS Paulo Thiago (170)

So my predictions? Main event, I want to say Rich Franklin in all honesty, he’s coming back from a loss via knockout from Vitor Belfort and would want to look for a win in a good scrap. but Chuck’s long break could prove beneficial for him, depending how he used his time, and he too wants to prove doubters wrong that he can still bring the fight in the octagon. I dunno…I think I will stick with “Ace” Franklin to win here, but I wouldn’t mind either that Chuck Liddell proves me wrong.

Pat Barry vs Mirko Cro Cop the other big headliner for this pay per-view, and whilst Pat “HD” Barry is an uprising fighter and heavier in weight, I will stick with my thought and say experience will get this and Mirko can overcome, but only just, this fight could look to go down to the judges.

Last fight I saw of Ben Rothwell was him getting absolutely smashed by my heavyweight favourite Cain Velasquez. Him against Gilbert Yvel, where his last fight saw him fairly dominate, only to end in a loss against Junior Dos Santos via technical knockout, will be an interesting scrap as both want to prove themselves. It looks like punches against kicks in this battle, if they both utilize their techniques its another tough one to call, though I will go with Ben Rothwell for I do see this going to the ground and him using his weight, if that becomes the case, I do see Ben dominate against “The Hurricane” Yvel, though again I wouldn’t be surprised to see Yvel take this and I’m proven wrong, again.

Paulo Thiago vs Martin Kampmann I can see being possibly fight of the night, or atleast submission of the night by Martin and his underrated ground game. Both respectively coming out of wins in their last matches, Paulo Thiago has a strong chin and can possibly hold his own in the ground if it gets taken that way, but I feel Martin Kampmann is fairly more well rounded standing with knockout power good enough to destroy a chin (especially as he would’ve learned against Daley in his loss) and ground work. its a good match up, worth a watch either way.

Carlos “The Natural Born Killer” Condit vs Rory “The Water Boy” McDonald I will be honest, I know neither, I will go with Rory just purely for his nickname – You don’t mess with the water boy, trust me.

The PPV is tonight, in the UK 3am, US 7pm PT/10pm ET. Let us know your thoughts.
