==Background==
[[Image:Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin UFC 115.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Rich Franklin against Chuck Liddell in the main event of ''UFC 115''.]]
This was the fourth UFC event to be held in Canada, following ''[[UFC 83]]'', ''[[UFC 97]]'' and ''[[UFC 113]]'' and the first UFC event held in British Columbia since they passed a bill to sanction MMA, on December 17, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2009/12/17/vancouver-to-regulate-mma-for-two-year-testing-period|title=Vancouver to Regulate MMA for Two-Year Testing Period|author=Mike Chiappetta|date=17 December 2009 }}</ref> For a few days, this event location was in jeopardy because there were still no regulations in place to promote the sport professionally within Vancouver<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmamania.com/2010/3/3/1334681/report-ufc-115-from-vancouver|title=Report: UFC 115 from Vancouver could be in jeopardy|author=Jesse Holland|date=3 March 2010 }}</ref> and [[Cincinnati]] was rumoured to be a possible location for moving this event.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://i.tsn.ca/mma/story/?id=315955 |title=Source: UFC 115 will not happen in Vancouver |publisher=I.tsn.ca |access-date=2011-03-02}}</ref> However, the problems were resolved and [[Dana White]] confirmed that the show will be going ahead in Vancouver on the scheduled date.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/mma/story/?id=316190 |title=UFC sorts out differences with Vancouver, UFC 115 is a go |publisher=Tsn.ca |access-date=2011-03-02}}</ref>
The main event
Despite confirming Liddell/Ortiz III would in fact be at the main event for the card, the main event was confirmed on April 12 as Liddell vs. Franklin due to a neck injury suffered by Ortiz.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.Home&eid=2958 |title=Ultimate Fighting Championship |publisher=Ufc.com |access-date=2011-03-02}}</ref>
The on-again, off-again rematch between [[Thiago Alves (fighter)|Thiago Alves]] and [[Jon Fitch]], first scheduled for ''[[UFC 107]]'' then ''[[UFC 111]]'' and then ''UFC 115'' was moved again, to ''[[UFC 117]]''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://mmafrenzy.com/14294/thiago-alves-jon-fitch-rematch-pushed-back-to-ufc-117-in-august/|title=Thiago Alves-Jon Fitch Rematch Pushed Back to UFC 117 in August
|publisher=mmafrenzy.com |access-date=2010-04-30}}</ref>
The [[Ben Rothwell]] vs. [[Gilbert Yvel]] fight replaced [[Tyson Griffin]] vs. [[Evan Dunham]] on the main card. Griffin vs. Dunham was shown on the preliminaries aired on Spike TV.
Just like ''[[UFC 111]]'' in March, ''UFC 115'' was shown in movie theaters around the United States by [[National CineMedia|NCM Fathom]].
