Rich Franklin vs. Chuck Liddell in the works for UFC 115, not rumored April show (Updated)

Light heavyweights Rich Franklin and Chuck Liddell are penciled in for a
June showdown.

MMAjunkie.com has learned from sources close to the
promotion that the two have verbally agreed to face each other in June
at UFC 115, though contracts have yet to be finalized.

The new matchup replaces a planned third meeting between Liddell and
Tito Ortiz that had been expected for the promotion’s first trip to
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and may have been arranged as a result of Franklin’s unexpected
involvement in “TUF 11.”
