Unbelievable….Liddell KO’d by Franklin with a Broken Arm

Is this the end of Chuck Liddell's UFC career? Good Question!

"The Iceman" was knocked out by Rich Franklin with five seconds remaining in Round 1 of UFC 115's main event in Vancouver, despite Franklin suffering a broken arm earlier in the round.

First UFC 114 with Rampage Jackson losing to Rashad Evans and now UFC 115 disappoints again with Chuck “Iceman” Liddell losing by KO to Rich Franklin in the first round. Best way to summarize these two fights, killer instinct or kill or be killed mentality! Apparently Evans and Franklin had killer instincts before entering the octagon.

Both Rampage Jackson and Chuck Liddell entered their fights in excellent shape, some would argue Iceman was in the best shape if his life. Subsequently, being in shape and prepared are not enough in today’s UFC; the new UFC requires the fighters to be in shape, prepared and have the “killer instinct.” I argue that both Jackson and Liddell have under prepared and sabotaged their fight careers by allowing their killer instinct to be traded for the lavish lifestyle of celebritism.

Fighters who continue to keep their focus on the octagon remain on top of their game!!! You don’t see fighters like GSP, Clay Guida, Matt Hughes and many others giving up the killer instinct to STEP IN front of the camera or trade it for celebritism!
