Is Leben ready for Bisping at UFC 89?
Here’s a new Myspace photo. This Chris Leben doesn’t look anything like the Chris Leben we’ve seen in the past. Take a look at the Leben from 2006 and you’ll see a pudgy middleweight with little definition. Compare that to the picture below. I’d say he’s looking as good as we’ll ever see him. He’ll be up against a very lean and tough Michael Bisping at 185 pounds so don’t assume that either side will easily take this fight. We may see the next (or repeat) title contender out of this slugfest… (Full Story)
UFC 82 Thoughts
Tanner’s debut fell short, nobody seems to like WWE wrestlers in the stands, Urijah Faber gets his recognition, and Anderson Silva can’t be beat. There’s a lot more, but I want to focus on a few thoughts from UFC 82 last night in Columbus, Ohio. Jon Fitch had a hard time with his replacement oppononent, Chris Smith, but it was Evan Tanner who had the hardest night of them all. The middleweight fighter, absent from the octagon for nearly two years, made his comeback attempt last night against… (Full Story)
UFC 82: Fun for the Whole Family
If they like watching people get punched in the face. Raghu Nath recently gave a pretty good look at the hype package and inserted some of his picks. I’m not going to really look at the hype behind the fights, because the UFC will do plenty of that themselves. Instead, here’s what I think’s going down, from the bottom of the card to the top. John Halverson vs. Jorge Gurgel This is, in my mind, a classic Jiu-Jitsu vs. Striker matchup, but since Gurgel has shown an incredible inability… (Full Story)
