I wouldn't call him a can but he was definitely overrated.
If he had fought Sakurai, he would have been embarassed.

He beat Swick, who's no can.

Jeremy, that's true, but now I gotta think that his win over Swick was a fluke.

Leben after his last 2 losses looks like a 186lb Ferozzo.

You obviously are limited to TV MMA. Swick isn't a can.

That point is we really don't know do we. We would've said the same thing about Leben before this show.

Leben was dominating the fight until it was stoped on cuts. I have always said elbow strikes to the head should be banned. Elbow strikes never end a fight by KO, they only cause cuts. The better fighter lost.

Leben should have knocked him out in the first round. It's his own damn fault.

The shouldnt have stopped that fight Leben was talking it to Kenny. I've seen far worse cuts than that in UFC and the fight go the distance...

If you want to get technical Chonan would have beaten all 8 middleweights on the same night. ;)

watch leben live and tell me he's a can. Leben is about hype. 10 ppl watching is different then an arena show
tu tu for such a good reply

Leben fans are the ones who get pumped by the "****-talking tough-guy guns blazing wannabe" types, and they don't understand why these guys never make it to the top. Answer: Greatness isn't hype, it's skill and respect for the game and every opponent. And those are two qualities these Leben-types don't have...All he can do is throw a so-called "heater" and say how he's gonna "put a stamp" on dudes. Hey Chris, your stamp says "return to sender", go back to the hole from which you came...

I don't remember if I called him a "can" or not. But my point was that Takahashi vs Igor was a horrible matchup. Takahashi had absolutely no reason being in that ring with Igor. Takahashi should stick to 185lbs.

Leben was winning the fight up until it was stopped because of the cut..... I'm no Leben fan but I'm not going to bad mouth based on this fight.

I think you need to get off Igor's sack.

leben couldn't finish a 155lb fighter who's background was self-proclaimed jiu-jitsu. did kenny try anything you'd regard as being jiu-jitsu based? no holding, no trips, limited tie ups. he was a walking punching bag and Leben didn't know what to do with it. Leben is a horrible fighter with no finishing skills. He did look much bigger and stronger for this fight then his fight with Koscheck but he's just not a skilled mma guy. From what i can discern, no one on this show is.
Diego should take his weightclass.
Who's still contending amongst the light heavyweights?
And why aren't all these guys cutting serious weight?
I couldn't believe Kenny was coming in short a lb just au natural while Leben is cutting back from 195. This is professional fighting. These fighters should be better informed about optimizing their size and weight advantages relative to their skill level.

Leben was winning, Florian just ceased a small opening. Leben may never be a top 10 fighter but isnt a can either. Watch his fight with Doerkson.

The only thing impressive about leban from that fight was ability to escape that nasty armbar he was in. I thought for sure he was about to get his arm snapped. Other than that Leben was average. He used the same game as he did with kenny. Through haymakers and pray for contact.

I dissagree to a point. Great fighters make it to the top but aren't recognized. In todays world people want hype, they want "stamps" and "heaters" they want shyt talk. You think Mike Tyson sold thousands of tickets because he was a good fighter? Hell no. Tyson couldn't knock out my grandmother while wiping her ass now but I garuntee his trash talking would put fans in the seat. Running a business like the UFC isn't always about great fighters. Its also and almost more about characters and attitudes whether you suck or not.

Leben had the fight dominated, florian hit him in the perfect spot with an elboe, and he would be the first to admit that it was a luck win, on another note "leben would have been gased by the third" this must be the only exposure you've seen of chris leben, the guy has amazing stamina, anyway koshcheck will win the middleweights easily, diego stands no chance vs kosheck, diego is all submission and koshcheck will just own him on the ground, florian stands no chance vs any middleweight, he got a lucky elboe

I think you need to get off Igor's sack.
When you start adding worthwhile points to debates,then maybe I would take advice from you,until then,I don't think I will.
