Makes sense....... ?
This is an interesting fight to call... personally I think Munoz will be too good technically for Leben to win.
Munoz gonna win bitches deal with it!!!!!!!!!!!
Leben is the man i really dont think munoz is gunna win all he has is wrestling his stand up is pure brawling and come on we all know what will happen if he tries that with Leben
we will seee
after saturday its gonna all change from weak to sharpp
What?!! A UK event with no Michelle Bitchping? WTF?!
Leben needs to watch out for endless takedowns attempts,sprawl,sprawl,sprawl! he needs to fight tactical&technical;,not good out and swinging for the bleachers on this one,Munoz has power so he can't go in with this chin wide open like he does at times,I hope Chris win's,he's come along way since his days on TUF ,WAR CRIPPLER!!!!!!
