Man when Leben knocked out Martin that was one of my favourite MMA moments.

But unfortunately Leben is way too slow to be able to knockout Sakara who I’m afraid will just pick Leben apart.

UFC 82 is STACKED. I wouldnt of minded seeing this fight but I think Koscheck will gets dibs on tv coverage before Leben does.

I used to hate Leben soooo much.
He talked all that crap, and i hate shit-talkers.
[although he could actually back it up, i still couldn't stand him]
he was just a punk.
very unlikable.
didn’t respect the other fighters.
when he finally got the ass-beating i’d been waiting for ever since he joined the UFC… by the hands of anderson…
he seemed to change.
but once he got handed two consecutive losses from starnes and macdonald… he was completely transformed into a respectable guy.

i guess sometimes u just have to beat respect into people.

did you see the after-fight interview w/ Leben after the Leben/Martin fight?

i love the guy now.

and he’s obviously been working on submissions lately. .which is something you can’t lack if you’re going to be a good fighter in the UFC. . .

soooo…

i think he could probably sub sakara… if he doesn’t get a ko…

i’m just glad he finally took a few beatings and got some sense.

Two fights ago he had one fight left and was leaving for ICON. So we can assume he has re-signed for some length.
