I think Stann is a poor choice for Leben, I consider Simpson and Akiyama better than Stann so to me its kinda like a set back in competition, Leben rite now is one or two fights away from being contender, he should have been given someone like Munoz, Belcher, Maia etc
I think it's a great choice. Stann is incredibly aggressive and always comes forward and Leben is not going to back down from anyone. It's going to either be KO of the night or fight of the night. Realistically, Leben is never going to win a title, but he's always going to put on great fights and be fun to watch.
leben 1 or 2 fights away from being a contender to the title!! i have to disagree with that. first point, his last encounter with silva was one of the shortest and easiest of silvas reign. silva certainly hasnt dropped in standards and i cant see that leben has improved. second point, leben couldnt even get past bisping and he is not even 1-2 fights away from being a contnder. 3rd point .he was basically out on his feet but somehow pulled off the win against akiyama, credit for that but hardly a brilliant, dominant win. 4th point, lebens style is so open that anyone who doesnt just stand infront of him and try to bang with him will beat him, just as bisping did. you dont fight to a guys strenghts, i.e lebens chin. 5th point, i thin people are getting carried away with how how good his chin is amd how exciting the last fight may have been to watch, rather than who has just beaten. jay silva! aaron simpson!! akiyama!! where are those guys ranked and before those 3 wins he had 2 losses. anyway thats only my view.
let's face it guys with all the lay and praying we are going to witness form maynard, edgard, gluida . the UFC is smart enough to recognize they needed more fireworks, luckily we too have thiago silva and vera to get dirty. Oh also Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens.
Maybe so but Leben was original ''Bad Boy'' in TUF, he is one of most wellknown fighters for average fan. So it can be said that he cant bring more fans to the UFC than Leben even if he wins championship

Tougher than Chris Leben ? Nobody's tougher than the Crippler !
i swear leben is drunk when he fights. he acts like he doesnt know he got hit and just keeps comin foreward
Has Stann even won a fight in the UFC?

True, stylistically it'll be a great fight but as for Leben's career I don't thinnk it will help him too much

Lay n' Pray from Guida huh? Hmmm....
Don't know why you were weaked for that? I think Guida is as exciting as almost anyone else.
obviously kuroshimaru has never seen guida fight, labelling his as a lay and pray fighter is so far from the truth
Lol, he is... He has never lay n prayed a fight in his life.
good luck with that Stann but i think you must have no idea who you are fighting
Leben vs Falcao
"Chris is a guy who has done more in the UFC than possibly i may ever do in my career"
isnt that a bit of a defeatist attitude to have?
He has the charisma of an odd pair of socks..

i hope stann actually goes out and fights cuz from a few fights ive seen of him he likes to stick and move and especailly being at greg jacksons
chris is one of my favourite fighters and i would hate to see another bisping fight
Almost distracts from how smart this guy sounds
