I’m actually looking forward to this one now. Should be fireworks.

He is referring to Kos calling Leben a “Fatherless Bastard” two words that mean the same thing.
by Psyqo78®™ on Sep 27, 2008 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions
No, it was Southworth that called him that.
by the_mexicutioner on Sep 27, 2008 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions
That explains it. I’ve watched all the TUFs but didn’t get the reference. I was there looking up Leben on Wikipedia.

southworth actually called leben that, not kos

yea, this imposter john has been around for a while now. the REAL john spells his name with a capital J. his posts are different now too.

Besides the fact that he always sounds drunk when he speaks, I am really starting to like Leben in this fight. He has come a long way since TUF. This has the potential to be a really good fight.

Drunk or sober, Leban isn’t the brightest guy around or most articulate.
by the_mexicutioner on Sep 27, 2008 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep, he ain’t articulate. but his bricks for fists will do all the talking for Bisping…

Iv got alot of money on Leben in this one. Im realy looking forward to this fight.
by belfort_fan on Sep 27, 2008 1:10 PM EDT reply actions
too bad for you.. i see brutal GnP from Bisping that will eventually stop the fight sometime in the 2nd round
by RoB on Sep 27, 2008 1:28 PM EDT up reply actions
If he(Bisping) does get the fight to the ground before he gets brutaly knocked unconcious, Remember what happened to Edwin Dewees. Not sayin Dewees is anywhere near as good as Bisping, but Leben can definatly sub him or get the hell back up.
by belfort_fan on Sep 27, 2008 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree Leben has an extremely under estimated ground game. Bisping is going to win by decision if at all and he is going to have to do it standing.
by Wanderlei Fan on Sep 27, 2008 5:05 PM EDT up reply actions
I think reality will set in on the stare down, once everyone sees the size diff.. Bisping by tko, rd 2
by O damn he got caught on Sep 28, 2008 10:33 AM EDT up reply actions
only one person has ko’d leben and that is silva. Micheal “the can crusher” Bisping is not better than leben in any area. No ko’s against a game openent. Two losses in lack luster fights(evans and Hamill). overall bisping has been pimped by the ufc to be europes rising star.
by onthebutton on Sep 27, 2008 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions
ok guys, maybe it’s hard for you american’s to look at it as it is.. but Bisping will win, i’d say he’s better than Leben in every aspect of the game and Leben’s only chance is his heavy hands.. he’s gonna get taken down and pounded into the mat
by RoB on Sep 27, 2008 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I disagree with you about Bisping being better than him(Leben) in every aspect of the game. Leben is a very well rounded, as is Bisping. Chris Leben has been training is Hawaii for a while now and his game has improved ALOT. Before Leben was in the UFC he had wins over Benji Radach, Mike Swick(KO), and James Fanshier. Since he’s been in ufc he has some big wins over great fighters such as Jorge Rivera, Jorge Santiago!, Patrick Cote, submission win over BJJ Blackbelt Edwin Dewees, he knocked out Terry Martin(after taking a Huge punch that Bisping could never take.), and he has a TKO win over Alessio Sakara.Bispings only notiable win outside of the ufc is over Mark Espein. Inside ufc, LHW
= Evlis Sinosic, Eric Shafer, and Josh haynes, wow!. At MW= Charles Mcarthy and Jason Day WOOHOO!! WAR LEBEN!!

bisping cant do that his only chance is to be just like kalib starnes and be boring and lay and pray
by onthebutton on Sep 27, 2008 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions
I dont think either guy is boring, i just know Leben is going to win!!
by belfort_fan on Sep 27, 2008 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions
i like how “us americans” never really bring where a fighters from into it, yet you english or british whatever hug a fighters nuts just cause hes your nationality. i want leben to win but its not cause hes american. if were such a horribly ignorant country, find something else to talk about.
by medecine balls on Sep 27, 2008 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Yea Leben definitely has it on the hands I can only hope bisping runs like Machida and some how some way gets the Decision cause when it comes down to it Leben is a lot more likely going to finish this one and I won’t be mald if he dose.
by Wanderlei Fan on Sep 27, 2008 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions
What i mean is that Leben isn’t better than Bisping at anything, Bisping is better technically and if u deny that than i don’t know what’s up.. Leben has 2 advantages, his chin and his punching power! I agree Leben has some good wins in his career but that’s not gonna help him in this fight. Bisping is just another fighter at 185 than he was at 205.. and btw i’m not brittish i’m swedish and i love your country haha!
by RoB on Sep 27, 2008 5:13 PM EDT up reply actions
i 100% agree bispings much more technically skilled, no doubt. but its not like leben sucks, everyone calls him a TUF brawler, hes not. hes got a great ground game and hes come a long way from his brawling days. this fight will be a lot closer then people are expecting IMO. now watch its gonna end in dominating fashion real quick and im gonna feel like a jackass. oh and word up to sweden! i spent a month up there two years back and well, you got yourself a good country too man.
by medecine balls on Sep 27, 2008 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions
bisping will win by GnP….. it may not really hurt leben but he can find a way round lebens defence which will force the ref to stop it…. u dont have to be hurt for the ref to stop it u jus might not be intelligently defendin yourself and the ref will stop it
bisping is underestimated at everthin … every1 underestimates him and when he beats leben ppl will still say he’s not faced any1 good and they’ll say leben is to slow and is not good enough despite the majority of the fans on this site sayin leben will win
by ufcaddict on Sep 27, 2008 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions
you’ll see. Leben will knock his ass out. WAR LEBEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Everyone knows my opinion on this fight, and Sweden has the best bikini team ever!

I dont… What is your opinion on this fight???
by belfort_fan on Sep 28, 2008 2:07 AM EDT up reply actions
I am the one betting against u and even I want Leben to win but it will be OK if he dose cause Wanderlei9 won’t let me down.
By the way my Fav Heavyweight is Austin Achorn hands down. lol.

Hey Zack your boy Gary has go a hell of a test in front of him how do u think he is going to deal with Rich cause if Clementi’s back hits the ground that one is over.
What do u think.
by Wanderlei Fan on Sep 27, 2008 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Dude, thats so crazy that you brought this up. i was just thinking about it today. I am actually very worried for Gray in this fight. But you have to take into consideration that Gray isnt just the wrestler he was on TUF. He’s been training with xtreme couture, and iv seen vids of him and Tyson Griffin sparring and he tears Griffin up. But yes i am very worried in this fight.
by belfort_fan on Sep 27, 2008 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions
I hope Gray wins but I have already agreed not to underestimate Rich again speacialy if he is up against a wrestler I think he needs to pull a Josh Koschek V. Diego Sanchez to win this one.
If Gray wins that says a lot and he should fight the winner loser out of Joe Stevenson and Ken Flo.
By the way I told you Nate Diaz was going to do well against Neer but wow he really impressed me. eventhough knowing u, u prob. think he lost that fight. lol.
P.S. Gono is going to beat Dan Hardy hands down.
by Wanderlei Fan on Sep 27, 2008 11:23 PM EDT up reply actions
No, Nate definatly won that fight. But damn it was good huh. Dan Hardy is a very hyped up fighter. I realy doubt he is going to lose his debut. But dont beleive the hype, believe what u see. Dan hardy is a great wrestler with sick sick jitz, and GREAT hands.. But Gono does have a BEAUTIFUL ground game and might win.

Hey when you get back(if you ever do) We’re gonna REALY train. Iv been training with this guy named Sergio at Combat Club in Bakersfield. Its pretty legit… better than Taft Fight Team lol. I plan to fight by the end of the year!!!!

BTW, Davids funeral was so sad dude. it was a military funeral.
by belfort_fan on Sep 28, 2008 2:25 AM EDT up reply actions
wow I bet it was depressing. I have seen a few of Hardy’s fights and I think he is just about to get his slice of humble pie. I can’t wait tell I get to come back and train. I have been training at Gracie Bara academy here in Atlanta I got to meet the Singer brothers the other day. and that was pretty cool. I am starting to look real Buffed ou7t and my chest is way solid I hope to fight in at the end of the year as well. when I do I am flying u out to corner me for sure. The MMA scene here is so off thye chain it is ridiculous I will hit u up on your cell here soon in like two weeks.
by Wanderlei Fan on Sep 28, 2008 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I have supported and backed Leban from the beginning, he is one of my favourite fighters even though he is one of the least technical. I like his personality and sense of humour, and also his passion for fighting and his never give up attitude. He always comes across as a down to earth, and doesn’t think the sun shines out of his own ass like that prick Koscheck. I am from the UK, so him fighting Bisping is a lose lose for me. I always support Bisping being from the UK, so I am definately gutted one of them has to lose. It should be an excellent fight.

anyone know if Lesnar is injured? apparently pulled a hamstring
by Insain on Sep 27, 2008 1:33 PM EDT reply actions
Rumor Mill
It’s amazing the things people ask sometimes. Last Saturday at Strikeforce’s card at the Playboy Mansion, a spectator said he’d heard a rumor in the bathroom: Randy Couture had injured his leg and wouldn’t be able to fight Brock Lesnar.
It seemed like one of those things you hear and generally dismiss. But there were a lot of industry insiders at the Mansion that night, and who knows what was going on in the bathrooms? So it was worth looking into.
Turns out, Couture was fine. In fact, he had a tremendous week of training and was taking the weekend off to hunt in the mountains of Colorado, according to his wife, Kim.
But, on Thursday, Kim Couture rang about another crazy rumor that was going around. Someone, doing his best Lorenzo Fertitta impersonation, called the Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas. People inside Xtreme Couture scrambled when the fake Fertitta claimed Lesnar was injured, and the Nov. 15 fight was off. The rumor, however, was quickly quashed after confirming Lesnar, all 280 pounds of him, was fine.
Nothin’ like a little MMA amusement.

It is crazy the kind of rumors that fly around the mma world.

I think Bisping is gonna take this one. I think either can win but Bisping has better skills for the most part. Gonna be very interesting and most likely very entertaining fight. Cant wait to see it go down. Being free makes it even better.

Chris Leben is going to be playing the Joker in Batman 3 btw haha i was waiting for him to say “Why soooo serious Bisping?”

bisping by late 1st round or early 2nd round tko…leben is 1 of the most over-rated fighters in the ufc,,,he has no skills,,he is jus like kimbo joke slice
by juggalomike on Sep 27, 2008 1:59 PM EDT reply actions
Leban may lack a lot of the technical skills of some of the other fighters, but he is far from a joke. And he desrves more credit than being compared to Kimbo. You are probably one of those who gets all excited when Chuck stands up and bangs, but when Leban does it, you criticise and slag him off. WTF. At least Leban attempted a submission against Martin.

this is gonna be a war!! lebens got game, big hitter with a great chin. bisping cant brawl with this kid. gotta stay on the outside use his reach, pick his shots n leg kicks. bisping by decision win. uk mma on the up!!!!
by HALE UK on Sep 27, 2008 4:19 PM EDT reply actions
Bispings going to win this by TKO period
The only thing Leben has is the undoubted power in his left hand and lets be honest Leben throws that left hand with all the speed of continental drift, Bisping is just way to fast to be caught with it, and even if he did I dont think Leben can put him down with one (singular) punch it will take a sustained effort with a big overhand left to finish him again Bisping is just to fast to be caught with a ‘flurry’ of punches from anyone especialy Leben.
To me its obvious but there is no doubt that there are some people who think Mary Poppins would KTFO Mike Bisping.
by Confused on Sep 27, 2008 6:33 PM EDT reply actions
Leben’s gonna win! Who you try’n to fool?…..Your self? Leben fights out of HONOLULU/HAWAII bitch’s. Bisping’s got no chance!

leben check yoself foo!!!! you are not certified in history as one of the greatest 185ers in ufc history. you are one notch above gatekeeper, loose this match and you are right back down with the masses looking to get a foothold

I LOVE ALL THIS “CHITTER-CHATTER” BOTTOM LINE IS LEBEN IS GOING TO PUT THE STAMP ON BISPING AND I’LL BE BACK TO POST AFTER HE DOES SO TO SHUT ALL YOU HATERS UP…ENJOY THE ASS STOMPING
by Tommy on Sep 28, 2008 2:15 AM EDT reply actions
HAHAHAHAHA you should be on stage….
Lets agree to both come on and have our say after the fight, If bisping wins or loses I will, people hating on Bisping have a habit of disapearing after his fights..
Goodnight Leben

heard bispings the nxt coach of tuf with dan henderson n that they will meet after the show finishes, to contest the no1 contender spot.

what is going to happen if bisping loses? Who else would be the U.K. coach
by onthebutton on Sep 28, 2008 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions
and to some extent, he’s sometimes a little boring!!! lolol.. i love it! thats not true anymore tho. but i do appreciate the smacktalk. HAHA! regardless, Leban by choke! Bisping is going to be throwing his little rapid fire punches that won’t do damage. All leban has to do is watch out for them knees, get a hold of him, overpower him, and sink it in. done deal dot com. PICTURE ME ROLLIN!!!!
