    I agree Leben hasnt been a walk over for anyone but Anderson and Bisping isnt in Anderson league.

    Leben has a huge shot in this fight, and I hope he kicks the ever living crap out of Baby Bisping.
     
  4. I'm not a huge fan of either fighter. However, I really lost respect for Bisping after his (bull****) decision over Hamil. I realize it wasn't him but the judges that gave him the decison. I just can't support him.

    sorry guys, but Leben won't be the guy to derail this hype-train
     
  6. Unfortunately, I think you're right. I wish Franklin would have busted him up before moving up to 205.

    I cant stand him, I kinda like him Leben has a big chance, I hope he knocks Bisping out..Talk about hype...As far as commentating fights? Bisping gets the most hype out of Goldberg and Rogan

    LeBen is actually a very fighter. I think people do tend to forget that.

    He doesn't have the most technical stand up but he hits hard, is all kinds of tough, has a good chin, has tons of heart and is, at least, competent on the ground.

    Him and Bisping is a very interesting fight. It will really give us a good indication of where Bisping stands in terms of the 185 lbs division.

    I think it will be a stand up war and I don't give Bisping too much of an advantage...it should be a battle and I don't expect a walk over at all.

    He's bigger.
    Similar skill levels, in fact I think leben is the better fighter.
