[quote comment="284073"][quote comment="284068"]This is a good fight. Leben has really come a long way since TUF 1, both in his fighting game and his maturity. And he’s never been in a boring fight, except maybe his TUF fight against Koscheck.[/quote]

And his decision win over Luigi. LAAMMMEEEEEE

Chris Leben should quit. I really hope Sakara destroys him.[/quote]

sakara is my favorite fighter, and he will beat leben. i agree that he should leave the ufc, not because i dislike him (i love to watch him fight, and his drive and determination are motivating), but i think he’d be great for strikeforce or eliteXC, because he isnt as talented as the ufc fighters nowadays, and he isnt ever gonna be ufc champ. hes got the raw tuffness to be great in some of the other smaller shows, and i’d go watch him fight there.

[quote comment="291926"]Leben is a cool guy and a great fighter…he has only been really beat up by anderson silva and look what he did to a great champ like rich franklin!! all you people talking crap about Leben are not fit to even get in the octagon…Leben is a top fighter…maybe not quite one of the very elite middleweights but still a great fighter…i for one will still be supporting him (like many others…he is very popular)…all you who think he does not belong in the ufc should get in the octagon to see how tough you are…spill some sweat and some blood and get some perspective first!![/quote]

save your $2. Dana doesn’t deserve it[/quote]

Just found it on youtube. Thanks John. I did not think that the knees were as stong as Rogan made them seem. But those punches at the end were great. He just held Veres’s head down and was like “EAT THESE!!!” Those long arms looked like a windmill…[/quote]

They must have taken it down.
Myvideofight.com is kind of annoying in the fact that they erase a lot of their fights, so check that site on the 3 days after an event, and u will usually find whateverfight u want. But it mite not last on their long. New fights get uplaoded to that site very often, and other fights get erased, so I try to keep my eye on that site and check it out whenever I get a chance.

I just have to say that most people that watch the ufc knows NOTHING about mma… some of the posts on here prove that.

This is gonna be a great fight, it might not last that long cause someone is deffinitly gonna get ktfo.

Leben is improving and he still has more power in his left hand than most in the division do.

but sakara is probably the best boxer in mma and is training with att so you know hes improving. He’s way faster and has just as much power as leben.

I say sakara by 2nd round ko

[quote comment="285302"]Not that it matters, but Leben is one of my favorite fighters. I remember channel surfing and seeing this guy pinning another guy against a fence (cage) and stomping on his feet. I thought ‘WTF’ kept watching and never stopped.[/quote]

LOL, that is AWESOME. You are the first fan that I’ve ever heard get reeled into the sport by the ol’ dirty foot stomp! That is great! And I am serious, I am not being sarcastic as one would think. How annoying are those foot stomps? Man, I HATE stubbing my toe….

Personally, I like Leiben and Sakara. They arent the best fighter but they always get Ko or do the KO’ing…not to many boring decisions when them 2 are involved.

[quote comment="285059"]i dont care what some of you say about Leben putting on good shows – hes weak and thats all there is to it – he could go to any town on this planet and he would get KTFO by some kids karate teacher. hes no ultimate fighter – his skills will never be good enough to be considered a top fighter – in any weight class – hopefully this is his last fight in the UFC – he should go to the WEC – he would actually make an impact there.[/quote]
Yeah, right “he’s weak” “hes no ultimate fighter”. Great analysis. 7-3 career record in the UFC is real weak. How many people have 70% career winning record in the UFC? Not too many!

The dude may not be the best conditioned on most technical fighter in the UFC but he hits just about as hard as anyone out there. Ask any of the several dudes that he one punched. As he’s got as tough of a chin as anybody. The dude may have holse in his game, but he is by no means weak.

Leben may never win a title and you don’t have to like him as a fighter but what you said is just, well…weak.
