I will bet houston will make sure knock him out. I think the ufc should make them fight again. They must return credibility to the fans. Because the referee stop the fight to fast.

I would love to see iceman rip his head off he shoulders. I hate sandman with every bone in my body. I really think alexander was pure pure luck and a rematch James would get his ass kicked!

I am a fan of Leben, that's why he asked. Me and John have plenty of conversations. It does not mean that someone else can't chime in - it is actually what we are hoping for. You are actually the very first person to complain about such a thing.

Now I have a different perspective of him, he was totally candid and admitted he wasn't use to the 1 on 1 athletic sports event coming from team sports, he was scared of Houston, couldn't sleep at nights and he wanted no part of Rampage. He spoke his mind without shame... I respect that kind of honesty.

it would also be huge for building his name and shoot him in to top 10 at LHW

1 cage not ring
2 elbows to downed opponents
3 no knees to the head on the ground
4 no head kicks to downed opponents
5 No roids

seriously changes a fight
silvas offense is seriously undermined because of 3 4 and 5

a lot of these other guys have better stand up and better wrestling and elbows on the floor to someone who cuts as badly as silcva due to the bareknuckle scar tissue mean that wanderlei is probably seen as a relatively easy guy to build your name against

a win over silva is still huge, almost as big as a win over chuck would be and on paper i would have to say that for a similar level of respect the silva fight should be way more appealing as chuck is a very dangerous fighter

irvin does look a little undersized at 205 and a shift to MW could be real smart

he be top 10 straight away (struggling to name 10 MW fighters in ufc they all seem to be running scared to 170 away from the spider)

Also, I think he's right. I mean it's just my oppinion, but I now think Houston is just a walking package of power. He would be amazing at 185, dangerous dude no matter who he fights.
