Chuck Liddell KO'd By Rich Franklin

Chuck Liddell is finished in the octagon. He looked good but once again he got rocked and stretched out. Seemed to be in better shape but got the same result. Rich Franklin got the better of the exchanges with Chuck Liddell and knocked him out at UFC 115 a few minutes ago. In other action, Mirko Crocop had a great comeback by submitting Pat Berry in the third round after getting dropped twice in round one. He still doesn't look like he is ready to challenge the top heavyweights in the UFC but still got a decent win. Crocop showcased his striking and ground game although his striking was inconsistent and his ground game didn't look great. Berry just had no ground game to compete with Crocop. UFC 115 was a good event even though it showcased second class fighters that had little but name recognition left to carry them.

As for Liddell, it seems there is a new generation of fighter now and he hasn't kept up. His chin and defence have both let him down in all of his recent fights. He's just not at the level needed to contend in the UFC today.
