Whats your top ten at middleweight? I'm not setting you up to attempt a bash here, I'm just curious :deal
Silva Henderson Marquardt Maia Okami Belfort Jacare Akiyama Filho Sonnen I dont personally feel Santiago is top 10 but he is ranked in the top by Sherdog.
How does Jacare crack the top 7? Leben is on the main card because hes from Portland. Hes definitely not a main card fighter though.
Leben gets beat by every decent fighter that he faces? Benji Radach Mike Swick Patrick Cote Jorge Rivera Luigi Fioravanti (was undefeated when Leben beat him) Jorge Santiago Terry Martin Alessio Sakara ...... Leben beat all of those guys. None of them are decent fighters?:huh
All of those names are decent fighters. And thats the problem. None of them great. The best one on the list is Mike Swick who lost to Leben like 5 years ago and Swick is now mixing it up at WW. Leben is just an average fighter. Great chin, good power and nothing else. Hes a guy who CAN pull an upset but in the UFC I wouldnt be surprised if hes got close to a .500 record.
Marquardt-maia is the best match up in this fight card. Big nog and couture are past their prime. 3-4 years ago this fight woud have been a dream fight. Silva-Jardine is ok-i expect silva to get back on a winning streak by beating jardine. This card is not really exciting.
Thats not close either he would need to lose 4 straight fights to reach 500. When hes 8-7 or **** even 8-6 let me know.
Turned out to be a very exciting card, just as I said. Also... Nog clearly isn't shot... just like I said.
Turns out me and you both where right as far as Nog being finished or not, Nog vs Couture being exicting or not and the card just being **** or good. Awesome night I got my 50 bucks worth for damn sure.
