UFC 115 features Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin, not Tito Ortiz, in headliner

“The Ultimate Fighter 11” coach Chuck Liddell will fight fellow UFC legend Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC 115, after all.

MMAjunkie.com first reported earlier this month that Liddell, who originally was slated to fight fellow “TUF 11” coach Tito Ortiz at the June 12 show at Vancouver’s GM Place, will instead fight replacement coach Franklin.

However, UFC president Dana White initially denied the report and said he instead planned to pit Franklin against Randy Couture. But later, he said fans simply would need to tune into “TUF 11” to see what happens.
