For almost a year, every time Lesnar’s next fight inches closer it gets canceled.

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC 115 Liddell vs. Franklin Preview and Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The UFC loves Canada: UFC 113 in Montreal last month, the announcement of UFC Toronto a few weeks back, and now they move into the unchartered waters of British Columbia for UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin in Vancouver. Despite buzz being a bit low for the event and second-hand tickets supposedly dropping dramatically in price, there are a few interesting questions posed by this card: Is Rory MacDonald the real deal? Can Ben Rothwell survive enough so we can see a rematch with Roy Nelson? Is Chuck Liddell's fancy new six-pack and dance moves from ABC's Dancing With The Stars an indicator that he's given up his partying ways and could fight a few more times?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Rich Franklin Knocks Out Chuck Liddell at UFC 115 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The return of the Iceman lasted just one round. Rich Franklin defeated Chuck Liddell at UFC 115. Franklin put Liddell down with one punch in the first round. The win puts the Ace back in the elite mix in two UFC divisions. Sadly, the knockout once again puts Chuck Liddell’s UFC future in serious doubt."

Eric Gargiulo presents Chael Sonnen Talks Major Trash On Anderson Silva posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "If trash talking sells UFC fights then Chael Sonnen just talked Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva UFC 117 into a blockbuster. Chael Sonnen recently did a UFC Fan Q & A session and unloaded on Anderson Silva. Watch this Chael Sonnen video and decide for yourself whether he is a brilliant marketer or a fighter with a death wish."
