UFC 115 Results: UFC 115 Play by Play Video Replay - The pressure was on Liddell, having lost his past two fights, and four his last five. He needed a win against his opponent Rich "Ace" Franklin. After all, many, including UFC President Dana White, thought and hoped he wouldn't fight again after his disappointing loss to Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 97 in April, 2009.

Despite his lack of skills on the dance floor, it was obvious to anyone watching that the Iceman was in the best condition ever. Liddell however would never say that he was retired in interviews despite the requests from the UFC to do so.

The UFC even went as far as inducting Liddell into their hall of fame at UFC 100, which some saw as another sign that Liddell was done in the UFC. Liddell did struggle on the show, getting low marks and being the fifth contestant eliminated from the competition.
