Terry Martin is going to crush Leben. Leben is the human punching bag!!

I think Terry Martin is going to hurt Leben.

I think Terry Martin is going to hurt Leben.

I think Chris Leben is going to hurt Martin.

I second that Phil. I hope Leben loses his contract after this 4th or 5th loss or whatever it is. Leben is so bad.

I hope Leben’s next line of work involves a fryer or a mop

I hope Leben’s next line of work involves a fryer or a mop

I’m sure it will, but I think he is a pretty exciting guy to watch fight.

Leben will be back and in tip top shape.

I hope his jaw is in the best shape ever, cuz Terry Martin is gonna test his chin.

I know that a ton of people hate Chris Leben, but I actually root for the kid everytime out. He has heart. That’s the one thing that many good fighters today are lacking, and it one of the only things that not teachable. It seems like just about everyone hates Leben and KOS. Did any of these people like either one of them during TUF season 1? They were the 2 ‘characters’ on the show that hated each other. So naturally, watching the show, a viewer would like 1 and not the other. In my case, I liked Leben more than KOS. KOS and Bobby Southworth acted like punks, that were always trying to start shit.

I wish nothing but the best for Leben. He has to be the underdog going into this fight with Martin, but I will be cheering for the Crippler.

pu$$y….

Terry by a brutal highlight reel KO.

I agree, I will nothing but the best for Leben and will be pulling for him in this fight. Remember, anything can happen once the fight starts.

I hated Kos on the show. Mike you are right, Leiben’s got a ton of heart, and a freakishly tough chin. U cant hate a ugy like leiben, he is a true fighter. He doesnt always win, but he’s always ready to throw down. I hope leiben wins this fight because I want him to stay in the UFC. Terry Martin is a great opponent for chris. They r gonna Bang.

Leiben doesnt always go into a fight in great condition. I am excited to hear that he will go into this fight in top shape.
When he is well conditioned he is tough to beat.

Personally, I would like to c leiben or martin fight against tanner. Tanner likes to go to war and I think either of these fighters could put on a great show against Tanner

Violent Mike: The odss for the Leiben and Martin fight are:
Leiben is a plus 175 underdog
Martin is a -215 Favorite

Leiben would have CRUSHED James Irvin.

Im a fan of both Martin and Leben, so it’s hard for me to root for one or the other, but Leben always seems determined more than anything, I’ll pick him to win.

You said that many of the fighters do not have heart???? what are you talking about? To me everyone that goes into that octagon brings everything. All of them have a lot of heart. Kudos to all the fighters that step into the octagon.

As for Leben, for as much heart as he can have, he is not good. Like someone saied earlier, he is a human (cry-baby)punching bag.

Terry Martin will tear him apart and as usual make Leben cry afterwards.

I want to see him win so he can rematch Kos. I hate both of them.

So fighters aren’t good because they cry? What r u sayin? Leiben is a tough dude. I think his biggest problem has been conditioning. If he is in top shape, he is a tough guy to beat.

I like this match up a lot. Terry and Chris will both come out gunz blazing. Martin better not come out to a micheal jackson song again.

For some reason Martin reminds me of Mike tyson, he is a short stocky dude, his face is simular to Tyson’s, and he throws bombs like him. Picture Tyson comming out to Micheal Jackson’s “beat it”, it just weird!

“My diet and training routine have been the strictest ever and as a result I think I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in.”

Does that mean he’s gone to smoking light cigarettes and drinking light beer?

Seriously, I don’t like Leben and I’m rooting for him to lose. But I am counting on him to put up a good fight. Leben is rarely boring and I at least appreciate that much about him.

Leiben would have CRUSHED James Irvin.

HAHA, James Irvin’s my boy. He’s whoop Leben ‘s ass. I can’t wait to see Martin destroy Leben! It doesn’t matter what shape Leben’s in, he’s gonna get knocked.

As a side note to my first post, I said that I liked Leben more than Kos. I should have said that I am a fan of Leben, and I hate Kos.

I agree with the part you said about fighters not having heart. Saying that a lot of fighters don’t have heart was rather bold on my part. What I should have said is that Chris Leben has a bigger heart than most of today’s fighters. And if some of today’s quality fighters had the heart of Chris Leben, they would be much better fighters, and possibly champions. Also, I have a ton of respect for everyone that steps into the octagon, well maybe not Alberto Crane or Monstah Lobstah, but that’s besides the point.

You say that because he cried after a loss means he doesn’t have heart? I beg to differ. That actually means he has a TON of heart. The fact that he lost hurt so much that it brought him to tears – that is called emotion, which can be attributed to heart.

Just about everyone on this site say that Forrest Griffin has the biggest heart and because of his heart he’ll beat Shogun…. To my knowledge, when Forrest got KTFO by Keith Jardine he was crying so much that he couldn’t speak more than 10 words, and then ran to hide backstage in his dressing room.

Also Chris Leben is not afraid to get punched in the face, even after a KO loss – unlike Arlovski, Franklin, Timmy, and more.

Instead of using the word heart, and saying that Leben has a ton of it, and some top fighters are lacking it, I should have said ‘a set of balls’. Because I would argue that some fighters today lost their balls and grew a mangina.

Dr. Terry Martin wins by tap due to aggressively psychoanalyzing Leben’s issues with his absentee father. Leben loses, cries, hugs Martin, and in the end is a better person for the experience and begins a long winning streak in WEC.

That was pretty funny there Dr. Phil

Chris Leben like I’ve said countless times before on this website, is a guy you would love to have fighting on your side in a bar fight. He is pretty tough and you know he’d put an avergae guy in decent shape on his ass.

Let’s now trnsition to the world of MMA and the UFC … Terry Martin is going to win the fight period because he is just flat out stronger. If Leben were to face a more well rounded fighter like Franklin or Okami, he’d get his sh1t pushed all the way in. It’s as clear as day. I dont even have to mention Silva.

Now who said Chris Leben would beat James Irvin …….

Leben was outclassed by McDonald and he couldn’t put away Kalib Starnes. What makes anyone think Leben would out muscle a JACKED James Irvin.

PLUS Irvin is 205 and Leben is 185.

Martin fought Irwin on his say down in weight.

I never said that because he cries he does not have heart. I do agree that he has a lot of heart like the majority of the fighters. There is nothing to be ashamed for crying but every time Leben looses a fight he burst into tears and has to swallow all the bashing, insulting and disrespectful remarks he always makes towards his opponents. I do not have any sympathy towards anyone that disrespects everyone else, thinks of himself as the best thing out there, diminishes everyone and after he is proven wrong, and has to eat his words, starts bursting into tears and play innocent and sincere.

I was a Terry Martin Fan, but then I read the transcript of his interview and now I don’t like him. (go read it, the guy is an a## hole) I hope Leban brings it big time. I know this one is going to be a slugfest, and Leban is on his last legs in the UFC, and I think all that is riding on this fight is gonna be a turning point for Leban. Mark my words here, Leban is gonna come out and crush Terry Martin in the brawl that will be this fight.
LEBAN by ko rd #1

i like leban and i think he got robbed by the judges in his last fight, but he’s gonna get knocked out by martin, leban thinks it makes hima good fighter to stand in there and take everybody’s best shots, and thats not gonna be a good strategy against this guy, i’d say 1st round KO

Leben is going to get dropped early in this fight. Mike Tyson…I mean Terry Martin is going to come with that overhand right and crush Leben’s face. Its gonna be so bad that I might actually feel bad for Leben, even though I thought the Anderson Silva fight was hilarious.

Also, I have a ton of respect for everyone that steps into the octagon, well maybe not Alberto Crane or Monstah Lobstah, but that’s besides the point.

I agree with you on the talking lobsta, but give Alberto a bit of credit. He fought like a bowl of oatmeal, but at least stayed in the fight after having is orbital bone broken. Many other fighters would have(and did, Josh Barnett vs. CC) tapped after suffering an injury like that.

Martin SHOULD win the fight, but anything can happen in MMA. Especially with a free swinger like Leben.

Where have we heard all this before from Leben? The guy is done…and hopefully we never see his punkass in the UFC ever again…

He says he’s in the best shape of his life and so on, but I’m telling you this, if Chris Leben comes into that Octagon with abs, test him! Plain and simple test that dude if he looks more freakish than normal. I saw it in Gracie when he fought Sakuraba recently and I saw in Franca’s physique when he fought Sherk. I don’t trust this best shape of my life because I boogeyboard crap. Unfortunately this is where we are at right now with this.

Abs on Leben = all out testing.

So fighters aren’t good because they cry? What r u sayin? Leiben is a tough dude. I think his biggest problem has been conditioning. If he is in top shape, he is a tough guy to beat.

I agree..not to mention its not impossible for someone to suck and then all of a sudden because of hard core training become good even great (it doesnt always happen but very possible)..I saw Rampages first or one his first fights in the king of the cage and he too had a lot of heart but his skill level was shitty so he went like 3 rounds with Marvin Eastman who destroyed rampage from start to finish..then all of a sudden I hear he is a badass in Pride years later rematches eastman in the UFC and destroys him fairly easy, so you just never know..

I agree. Terry seems exactly like most of the opinions on this page about Leben. I want Terry to loose but on the other hand I dont want Leben to win and have to deal with all his hype!!!

This is do or die for Leben. Martin makes alot of mistakes. As long Leben doesnt gas I can see him getting the better of the exchanges and winning this fight

WELL THE THING IS LEBEN IS NOT THAT GOOD AND IF YOU LOOK AT HIS RECORD HE HAS NOT REALLY BEAT ANYBODY THAT THOUGHT TO BE AT ALL GOOD!! HE IS JUST SOME PUNK BRO AND CAN KICK ANY NORMAL GUYS ASS OFF THE STREET, BUT WHEN IN COMES TO SKILL FIGHTING OR ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH TECHNIQUE HE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!! I PREDICT MARTIN TO CRACK HIS HEAD OPEN JUST LIKE ANDERSON!! LEBEN IS PRETTY DAMN FLABY FOR A FIGHTER ALL THESE FIGHTERS TRAIN AND SAY THEIR IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIFE BUT IF THAT WAS ALL TRUE THEY WOULD ALL LOOK LIKE JASON MCDONALD OR GSP!! I KNOW THATS NOT ALL TRAINING DOES THAT TO YOUR BODY, BUT IF YOU SAY YOUR IN GREAT SHAPE AND NEXT FIGHT YOUR IN EVEN BETTER SHAPE YOUR BODY WOULD JUST TRANSFORM INTO A BODY THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS OUT NO MATTER WHAT!!

MARTIN FOR THE W IF YOUR GOING TO BET IN VEGAS, PLUS MARTIN IS BETTER AT THIS WEIGHT!!

Abs on Leben = all out testing.

 
dude thats funny ass hell..its like sorry leben this match is cancelled due to your chizzled abs…what were you thinkin..lol

I could see leben getting his 4th loss in 5 fights, another KO coming his way, night night leben, go away you suck.

Where is this interview?

Since EdenMachine wants to mention James Irvin, does anyone know where he’s been since he hurt his knee against Silva???

The only reason Leban is still fighting in the UFC and not sandbagging another ORG is b/c he is taking advatage of Dana White’s homosexual side and taking care of BUSINESS if you know what im saying… O leban …Ssssssssign…HHhhhhere…

Its SICK and psses me off… Get rid of these nobodies..

I think Leben means “Glass Jaw” in French. LOL

Where is this interview?

I’ve read some of his interviews too, and agree this guy is as big of a prick as Kos. All the crap he talked about Ivan Salaverry(part of the reason he came into Billie Jean), and the stuff he’s saying about Leben. He’s just not as classy as a guy like GSP or Randy, this guy talks tons of crap and disrespects all of his opponents. For someone who is so educated you’d think he’d see the benefits of being a class act instead of a pompous a-hole.

I spoke with Martin about two weeks ago. We’ll have the interview up after UFC 75. One thing I can say is that he comes off very polite yet confident. He certainly was not a “prick” when we spoke to him and neither was Kos for that matter.

I agree..not to mention its not impossible for someone to suck and then all of a sudden because of hard core training become good even great (it doesnt always happen but very possible)..I saw Rampages first or one his first fights in the king of the cage and he too had a lot of heart but his skill level was shitty so he went like 3 rounds with Marvin Eastman who destroyed rampage from start to finish..then all of a sudden I hear he is a badass in Pride years later rematches eastman in the UFC and destroys him fairly easy, so you just never know..

I agree that correct trainning can mold and develop a fighter but I wouldn’t say all of a sudden, Rampage had his first fight with Eastman in 2000, he developed rapidly by taking on all comers not turning down 3/4 matches like Leben. During 2000 and 2001 Rampage took part in 14 professional MMA fights, which makes the length of time UFC fighters have off seem like retirement. So even though Rampage developed quickly in regards to length of time, when it comes to how he developed in regards to number of matches it did take a long time. So I agree it is possible but I wouldn’t say it is possible for Leben as he doesn’t fight often enough to put the trainning to the ultimate test.

Hey UFC Mania, Do you have any career opportunities?
Id love to work in the feild of MMA. Have any work for a hard worker?

who are these people sayin Leiben has a soft chin? the kid’s tough as hell and likes to stand and bang, and gets caught now and then. Its better than watching a 5 rd. lay n’ pray!!!! by far! i’ve liked leiben ever since he was on a warpath through the TUF house trying to find Kos and southworth ~ kicking and punching through doors and shit…that was hilarious.

he mosdef needs a rematch with Kos those 2 f’n hate each other.

i could do without the crazy hair dye, but i think leiben is a cool dude. He’ll whoop martins ass! i bet martin’s still got a sore and stiff neck from that flying knee he ate from the “sandman” that was definately a highlight reel KO!!!

I think that Leben is a punching bag as well. I don’t see him winning. Also, I think that having heart also has to do with showing up to a fight prepared and trained as well as you can be. Just because you go into the cage and are willing to throw punches doesn’t mean you have heart…That’s like saying goalie that shows up to training camp 40 pounds overweight is o.k. because he still wants to play.

Hopefully this will be the last we see of Leben…Wasn’t there a previous article that said that he may leave the UFC? I thought last fight was supposed to be his last on his UFC contract, unless he signed one and I missed another article.

I think Leben means “Glass Jaw” in French. LOL

NOT EVEN CLOSE MAN.

Leben has 20 pro MMA fights, 9 of which were in the UFC, and he has only been KO’d once in his career. Yup, just once, and that was to Anderson Silva, who is argueable the best pound for pound striker in the game.

Leben actually has a stone jaw, chin of granite, which ever phase you prefer, but now a glass jaw.

i agree. I posted something similiar earlier, but somehow my posts don’t seem to be appearing again…

Leban is back uh huh

I have seen and heard Terry Martin from his home town fights and this guy is a first class !#@*. Just ask him and he will tell you that there is no other fighter out there that can beat his skills….or his class….Just hate the fact that he dismisses all the other good fighters out there as losers… and he has addressed them as such… there are plenty of fighters out there that can hand him his ass…they just are not marketed the way he was…some dont have a way into these bigger fights. UGH,… I will always cheer for ANYONE that fights Terry….and my favorite is his own knockout highlight….that moment did nothing to quiet his trap.

thanx for the info holdin ropes.. I didnt realize leben turnes fights down(which is stupid)..A guy like him would need the dedication that rampage has had… ohh and 14 fights in a year, yep your right, you cant compare Rampages struggle to lebens in no way… maaan 14 fights in a year WOW!!!

I thoroughly enjoy reading posts that contain real intelligence. I couldn’t agree more. If you are a professional fighter, why would you come in to the octagon looking like Chris Leben, Tim Sylvia, Rory Singer, or even Karo Parysian. I mean guys at least look the part of a professional athlete when you know millions of people are going to watch you on PPV. You are being paid to train and compete. If anything have a lil self respect and look like a professional fighter for your own piece of mind.

Who knows maybe guys like Tim “bitch tits” Sylvia and Chris “pot belly” Leben just dont care.

A few years ago Leben was getting into 14 fights in a normal 3-day weekend.

If Leben lose this one, Dana should send his sloppy ass to WEC, ART OF WAR, or some bullshit mma organization. He needs work on his boxing skills to be a better striker and not sloppy like he used to be back then. I’d rather see Martin knock or pound his ass out.

Leben has lost 3 of his last 4 fights. In my opinion, when the spider knocked him out, he shattered Leben’s world and killed his confidence.

I’ve always liked Leban. I like his character and his personality.He doesn’t take himself to seriously, but he is always serious when he steps in the octogan. He always tries to put on a good show for the crowd whether they appreciate it or not, he never likes taking a backward step and always gives more then a 100% out there. He is seriously lacking a lot of skills especially in the ground game but, he is always entertaining win or lose. He may not be one of the best and he will never wear the belt, but as far as I am concerned he is one the most entertaining and fun characters out there. He seems like the sort guy that would stop and chat rather than walk straight past like Koschek probably would. I would easily prefer to watch Leban fight than watch Sherk.
Koscheck is a wanker who got brought back down to earth by GSP. Superior wrestling skills my ass. Thats what Diego will do to him next time they fight. That reversal in the fisrt round was sweet. When Diego fights him at 100%, he will get a beating.

Leben will still keep things entertaining. Even when he looses I still enjoyed the fight. This could be more of a test for Terry than people or giving Leben credit for. If Terry makes a mistake and Leben takes him down he could very well find a submission. And if Terry goes in there relying on his striking power he may find out Leben doesn’t hurt easily. On the hand, if Terry does knock him out then this will say a lot about his power. Leben imo has a proven chin, or as they used to call it back in the day, “a beard!”.

Chris Leben like I’ve said countless times before on this website, is a guy you would love to have fighting on your side in a bar fight. He is pretty tough and you know he’d put an avergae guy in decent shape on his ass.

Not everyone has the type of physique like GSP or Mcdonald but that still doesnt mean that they are any weaker…Examples Fedor; alecksander; shogun; Ninja; ect…

I think the crippler is going to get crippled

thats what im saying too.

I don’t know why people are so polar about fighters. I ultimately respect both for their efforts. I may pull for one fighter or another, but to simply hate someone to me seems a bit much.

As for people like Terry Martin and Kos they are following the ‘Tito Oritz’ formula. Which says the only bad press is no press. They get in there, they trash talk, and it dosn’t matter if you love’em or hate’em you want to see the them fight, even if its to lose. The people who hate KOS are the ones that are gonna make that guy a super star.

Crippler- He’s a tough guy, and could likely be a top guy with the right level of commitment. However standing there and getting hit hasn’t been working for him.

I don’t think Terry Martin is tough enough to KO him, if this gets stopped it will be referee or doctor stopage. My call is it goes the distance, and is the Crippler by a split.

dude thats funny ass hell..its like sorry leben this match is cancelled due to your chizzled abs…what were you thinkin..lol

haha, I seriously don’t know.

I’ll bet on Leben, but I’m not so confident as to put money on that bet.

Did you guys happen to see what Terry Martin looked like as a LHW? He looked like a big ball of brown jello in the ring.

And like Royer said, Fedor doesn’t look like a chizzled professional athelete. BUT he is still the baddest man on the planet. I guess some people just don’t have the genetics to look like a ViolentMike or a GSP. – LOLOLOLOLOL

It is not possible for some poeple to look like GSP or Jason. It is VERY possible however, for those same flabby looking people to be in just as good of shape.

“HE IS JUST SOME PUNK BRO AND CAN KICK ANY NORMAL GUYS ASS OFF THE STREET, BUT WHEN IN COMES TO SKILL FIGHTING OR ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH TECHNIQUE HE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!! I PREDICT MARTIN TO CRACK HIS HEAD OPEN JUST LIKE ANDERSON!! LEBEN IS PRETTY DAMN FLABY FOR A FIGHTER ALL THESE FIGHTERS TRAIN AND SAY THEIR IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIFE BUT IF THAT WAS ALL TRUE THEY WOULD ALL LOOK LIKE JASON MCDONALD OR GSP!!”

I thoroughly enjoy reading posts that contain real intelligence. I couldn’t agree more. If you are a professional fighter, why would you come in to the octagon looking like Chris Leben, Tim Sylvia, Rory Singer, or even Karo Parysian. I mean guys at least look the part of a professional athlete when you know millions of people are going to watch you on PPV. You are being paid to train and compete. If anything have a lil self respect and look like a professional fighter for your own piece of mind.

Who knows maybe guys like Tim “bitch tits” Sylvia and Chris “pot belly” Leben just dont care.

Fellas, this is mma, not bodybuilding. Physique has very little to do with a fighters success in the ring.

On another note: Please don’t ever confuse Terry Martin with Anderson Silva. Silva’s the most dominating fighter (in his weight class) in the entire UFC. Martin has yet to establish himself whatsoever.

While it could go either way, Leben by KO (should be a good fight)

AFTER LEBEN LOSESS THIS FIGHT, I THINK DANA SHOULD NEVER LET THAT PUNK ASS BACK IN THE UFC, I AM SICK OF SEEING HIM AND THE CHANCES OF HIM BEING A CHAMPION ARE LESS THEN US HAVING 4 BLACK PRESIDENTS IN A ROW!!

DO YOU AGREE?!!

Terry Martin is going to crush Leben. Leben is the human punching bag!!

After meeting Chris at ICON Fitness in Hawaii, I can honestly say the guy has integrity, respect for others and a fighters heart. To me his positive attitude and actions in and out the gym have spoken for him. I could care less what your predictions were prior to the fight I was rooting for him win or lose.
Thanks for what you do for the sport Chris. Your a great teacher and a positive influence for all of us here in Honolulu.

You all talk a lot of shit until your wrong. Crazy jackal eyes beat Martin down!
