Leben will fuck him the fuck up. Shit. Aaron Simpson couldn't take him down. Akiyama couldn't take him down. Wanderlei Silva just got blasted standing. Kos has a chin but not one that withstands Lebombs.

You do this after every single event, every time. You always, always, always overreact when someone wins a fight. I can count on you every time to jump on the nuts of a fighter after a big win, like clockwork.
I'm not saying Leben can't win, but I won't be picking him here. It's obvious people are overreacting to Leben, where was all this when he was getting owned by Stann? I think Kos will take him down and win the dec. It will be a frustrating fight for Leben. Personally I don't like either guy but I hate Kos. So I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Bonnar can't make 185. He cuts a decent amount of weight to get to 205. It has to be Leben. Kos would have to go up to atleast 195 to get a piece of Bonnar.

You're assbabbling. This has nothing to do with the last event as much as three of his last four fights, and that was plainly stated in my post. This has everything to do with the match ups. Leben has shown much improved defensive wrestling since he faced Aaron Simpson and Akiyama, and it is a known fact Kos's wrestling has deteriorated as he added his striking to his game. However, his style is not technical like Stann's newfound style. Not by a long shot. He doesn't look to pick guys apart or work angles. He mostly looks to set up head kicks or a big right and that type of style will get him knocked out against Leben. If Koscheck were naturally a 185'r that would be one thing, but he is coming off a big lay off against a good defensive wrestler who will be bigger and stronger than who he is used to fighting, with serious one shot power. Kos is a better fighter than Leben, but with all the factors going into this match up, I don't think he survives Leben for three rounds. I don't expect Koscheck to look to win on takedowns here. Not in this fight. That isn't his game. He is going to try and go blow for blow with dude and get KO'd. Even if he does, I am not convinced he'd be able to take and keep Leben down at will.

OU, when picking fights and talking about MMA, try to watch the fights and use the information they provide. You might start to sound like you know what you're talking about. Even if I do occasionally change opinions after an event, it is because the event provided new evidence about a fighters skills.

dude wolf, its true lol

LOL you can't possible be that oblivious to your tendencies can you? Really? You don't see it? Literally after every single event you jump on a fighters jock. Without failure, every single event without exaggeration. You will suddenly have your eyes opened on a fighter that before the fight you wouldn't acknowledge. It is really comical. What assbable of mine are your referring to? You are the biggest prisoner of the moment I have ever seen from a MMA fan. You don't jump on every band wagon but you constantly overreact to big wins. I find it very amusing.

I may be misremembering things but didn't Bisping take Leben down? I'm 100% confident Kos can and would take Leben down multiple times. Last time me and Wolf had this kind of conversation he was saying Guida wouldn't be able to take Pettis down, we all know how that played out. Kos has explosive take downs, he may not be able to setup a take down to save his life vs GSP but he won't have any problems setting it up vs Leben. Just like Kings is saying, Leben is getting far too much love right now.

WAR LEBEN

That weed must be really good, cause my rankings are the shit! Where are your ranking? Let's see what you got.

My rankings are up and they are perfect! Was nice to wake up and see my long rambling statement though lol. Was my bday and im now closer to 30 then 20 I had to blow off some of that depression

lol thanks man btw sounds like Leben has no plans to fight Kos but I sure hope it happens!

Not liking this fight, Leben should be kept for the Belfort vs Sexyama winner.

Ummm, Leben just fought Sexyama. Right before Stann beat the shit out of him(Leben).

When he said "Belfort vs Sexyama winner" it was just a given that he meant Belfort

Yes, and it was a great battle. I'd love to see a rematch.

So soon? I'll pass. Let them both lose to other people and get the real contenders in line.

Why not ?Since then Leben's lost to Stann and just beaten Wandi and Sexyama has lost to Bisping and is facing Belfort next.

Sexy will be lucky to have a job after his fight with Vitor. Could easily be 0-4 in the UFC

Sexyama will crush Vitor !!!!

I will honestly never post here again if Vitor doesn't beat the fuck out of Akiyama

I think its safe to say u will be posting here again.

I don't think you have much to worry about. Unless Vitor is reading this and really doesn't want you posting anymore. That's your biggest concern with this fight.
