    Im beginning to like Leben again...hes very tricky..you can start to like him and then he starts talking **** again..then he shows his heart, then he gets cocky. His chin gives him an advantage against alot of 185ers. I can see him beating Franklin and some of the top tier guys in 185 who doesnt have a great ground game. Above all hes great for the UFC and MMA in general.

    Anyone with a decent stand up should be able to manhandle him. If Sakara anymore power behind those punches Liben should've been asleep.

    I'll give you that. He always comes forward even if his punches are horrible telegraphed.

    I did notice the lack of Power in Sakaras punches..I wonder how he did in boxing..he was probably considered feather fisted in Light Heavy or Cruiserweight...which if thats the case, its was a good move to go MMA

    Franklin doesnt have a great ground game :huh Its not exactly BJ Penn esque but ive never seen it as a bad ground game especially when Rich gets on top.
