| Tis a good fight. I am not sold on Bisping, but this could turn me around if he wins (uncontroversially) |

I hope he wins, because I like his fighting style. Speaking of styles, Leben is tricky - he kinda wails in there, arms swinging, and he's got an alright level of power. Plus Leben can take a punch.
Hard one to call... but I think, like you said, if Bisping wins, he'll turn quite a few people round. I think he looks good at middleweight, so I'm looking forward to seeing this fight. |

| bisping is going to outclass leben entirely and knock him out in the first round possibly with knees. Easy win for the count. |

| it will be a quality fight. i think it will end with a ko but not sure by who. leben has a solid chin and we've never really seen bispings be tested. im gonna go for bisping to win. |

| I think Bisping will walk all over him, too much variety to his game. |

How do you think Bisping will cope with Leben's awkwardness? Do you reckon a takedown and win via ground and pound?? |

I think Leben is about as awkward as turning on a T.V.
Sorry, but i don't rate him, im with Jubei, he is pretty one dimensional... (sorry, jubei pun not intended) |

theres no awkwardness to leben, his chin is exposed and he swings for the fences, just look at how anderson silva took him apart so easily inside a couple of minutes, this is after leben said ill send him back to japan to pride where the fights are easier. |

ST1986 makes a good point... Silva is world class, so Leben was bound to get beaten by him. I don't actually rate Leben personally, I just think he's a scrappy brawler who swings from every possible direction he can. But he does cause damage.
Chris Leben saying he'll send Silva back to Pride in Japan is stupid, and he was obviously gonna get bitch-spanked by Anderson. I do hope Bisping wins, but I wouldn't completely rule Leben out. Yeah he's definitely one-dimentional.
Ahh fuck it, I dunno. 8) |
