And what you wrote is stupid. The two things he was talking about are exactly what he said, things you can’t teach. He trains hard, and has good technique, but there are a F’IN LOT of fighters who would pay DEARLY to have his ability to take a punch and have 1 punch KO power. You guys are just reading into this statement too much.

He wasn’t bragging, just stating facts.

Leben has been knocked out once in his career, and it was by Anderson Silva. Bisping has never been knocked out, but he has not faced the same level of competition that Leben has. Leben has also fought many great strikers (with the exception of the Silva fight) without being knocked out. If you recall from TUF, Bisping was even rocked briefly in his fight with Ross Pointon, who barely cracks the top 1000. I don’t think Bisping as as good a chin as Leben, but he is far better at not getting hit so it basically negates the advantage.

Mike: 90% of the ppl on mmamania will not have seen that fight. I’ve mentioned it before on here and only a couple of guys had seen it. They think peoples mma careers only start @ TUF.

You forgot to mention that Epstein has massive punching power and Bisping took them on the chin without problem.

“Because he does” is not an answer. Go play on your xbox if you want to call names.

someone is at least getting dropped. so once it goes to the floor who has the advantage? i think bisping has better gnp from full guard and side control but leben has a good active guard and pretty slick submission d.

Bisping has only one suspect loss to Hamill maybe he should of won Evans so that cancels it out.

bisping doesnt allow his opponents to punch him in the chin unlike leben… thats why bisping hasnt been knocked out

bisping will destroy him with a great technical performance

all 3 judges 30-27 bisping

First of all, I believe there should be several losses on The Count’s record already! They keep letting him fight in the UK because it’s good for business. But, he’s getting some unrealistic decisions! Now, this is strictly my oppinion! Anyone has a right to disagree! But, I’m still not over the Matt Hamill rip-off! Bottom line, Bisping’s chin will be tested! And it will fail in highlight reel fashion! My appologies to all the Bisping fans out there! No disrespect is intended! But, I give The Count 2 minutes, tops!

personally i see this fight going the distance, going to be a real war but just can’t see either fighter being knockout. lebens got great stand up and one of the best chins in the game. then on the other hand, bisping’s been in there with some really tough guys at 205 and hasn’t been stopped. I feel bisping’s got the tools to win the fight, if he picks his shots and stays on the outside uses his reach and leg kicks. bisping by decision!!!
