(Liddell vs. Franklin hype reel, courtesy of 13berhanus.)
We don’t want you guys to panic or anything, but this coming weekend is utterly dead in terms of mixed martial arts competition. Seriously, even Bellator is taking a bye week. So, instead of wasting your time by asking you to enter MMA FightPicker pools for Triumph Fighter, Inferno!, we’re just going to have a two-week entry period for UFC 115 (June 12th, Vancouver). The question list for "Liddell vs. Franklin" is after the jump — study hard, make your predictions, and make us proud. No, you’ll never catch up with the Aaron Rampeys and surf_finlands of the world, but hey, if you’re doing it for the glory, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
As for UFC 114‘s pools, the less said about them the better. Mike Russow, John Hathaway, and Dong Hyun Kim pretty much shot my picks to shit. Men make parlay bets, and God laughs…

Remember when Rich Franklin was just too strong and technical to take the belt from? I do but it’s a little fuzzy cuz it was a long time ago. I like Rich but his pitty pat striking and slowing defense is extremely unlikely to make it to the end of round 3. The only question I have is whether Liddel really truly got back into fighting shape after his time off and time . . . aging.
