In stark contrast to the media barrage centered on UFC 114 last Saturday, the upcoming main event featuring former champions, Chuck “the Iceman” Liddell and Rich “Ace” Franklin has gone virtually unnoticed. If one were to rely solely upon the mainstream press for their MMA news, fans would probably be surprised to find that UFC 115, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is less than two weeks away.

Nevertheless, the fight plays an important role in both men’s futures. Liddell wants to erase the memory of his four losses in five contests while Franklin aims to establish himself as a contender in the light heavyweight division.

While “Ace” has always entered the Octagon in great physical shape, “the Iceman,” on the other hand, has received his share of criticism for his slight pot belly and penchant for partying. Looking at the picture above, it’s safe to say that Liddell is taking this fight seriously. Hopefully, his game plan will look as refreshed as his body does.

UFC 115 will air live via pay-per view at 10pm EST. SPIKE TV will broadcast select undercard fights prior to the start of the event.
