    I think it's going to be an entertaining fight, both actually have more skill than they usually show, but both like to swing for the fences.

    leben throws straight punches?

    very entertaining fighter, just needs the right opponent. brian stann might just be that guy, he is after all a brawler as well.

    Update: they had a light sparring session. Apparently they liked what they saw as they asked him to come back. Said Leben was a swarmer so he just used angles and counters and made him back up a lot. I'm totally stoked for him. About him, he had about 30-35 fights and fought in the IFMA tournament in Thailand where he KO'd the first guy and lost a weird decision in the quarterfinal. He lives in Hawaii now and is training students under M-1 Martial arts and Fitness. Thanks for the support, i'll post updates
