Today the UFC released the full UFC 115 card to the public eye for the first time. The card is set to take place on June 12th at the GM Place in Vancouver, Canada (whoop whoop!). The main event for the card was originally set to be Chuck Liddell taking on Tito Ortiz to complete the trilogy of their fights (which Chuck leads 2-0) but today a long outstanding rumour that Tito Ortiz would not face Chuck was finally answered. This rumour proved to be true. Ortiz has been pulled for unknown reasons for the time being and Chuck Liddell will now face former UFC Middleweight Champion, Rich “Ace” Franklin, in the main event to round out a truly stacked card. With several stars already on the card and rumours of the highly anticipated (and long delayed) rematch between Jon Fitch and Thiago Alves set to take place on this card as well, it’s hard to not argue that this could be one of the greatest UFC cards in the company’s history. Below is the card for UFC 115!
