Akiyama is a top 10 fighter

Chris Leben isn’t.

I think Akiyama wants to make himself more well known and beat Leben isn’t gonna throw him to the top of the heap.

akiyama's really rubbing me the wrong way with all this b.s.

Everyone wanted wandy in there, he got hurt, so stfu and fight who they match you up with, and with a win, you will get better opponents…guy seems like a spoiled kid with this nonsese…and I’m not a big leben fan, but hope he smashes pretty boys face in

misleading title...

He says Wandy is a reputable, high ranking fighter, and that Leben isn’t as good as him. He never says Leben is not reputable nor high ranking. I don’t like what Akiyama is saying, but it’s not as bad as the title makes it sound.

He made some other comments days prior expressing his discontent…but akiyama needs to keep it real…if not for wanderlei, akiyama wouldn’t have been in the co main event to begin with…this coupled with his history of greasing makes me want to see him lose convincingly
