Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz will headline UFC 138 in the UK on November 5. It's likely to be a Spike show

lol, what a headline

Munoz deserves better, it was only 2 fights ago Leben was straight smashed. Munoz is on a 3 fight winning streak since losing a split dec to the current #1 contender. He deserves better.

I agree. Is there anyone available though?

Let him put away Leben to shush all these Crippler fans up

Not really at the moment I guess. But Leben is a step down from Maia and Leben vs Vitor after he smashes Sexy would have been a nice matchup. Just sucks for Munoz that he doesn't get a higher ranked opponent. He deserves it at this point.

Thing about Leben though is he gets smashed then comes back and smashes someone the next fight.

Thats MMA for ya

this will be the first 5 round non tittle main event

Leben vs Munoz is a 5 rounder? WTF. The new rule is already a fail.

Leben by KO

Leben is top 10? So far he has zero votes from Ninja's Place, that includes your vote.

Going by the only rankings that I really look at (Fight Matrix). Either way he's right there

Bobbitt, fight matrix rankings are purely formula based, please look at other rankings too from now on, theirs do not tell all the story and they even print that as a disclaimer, it is mmamath ranking.

I have a hard enough time slipping Bisping in the top 10 and he atleast a notch above Leben at the moment. Dude could even beat him when he was on roids and got raped in the 1st round 2 fights ago. He isn't too far away but you have to really stretch to slip him(Leben) inside the top 10.

I do look at others I just don't really care much about them. Again, Leben is right there at the top 10. Its not a very hard thing to accomplish in that division

Yeah, I like fight matrix a lot actually because they list around 500 fighters ineach division with links to their bios so I can see if my old favorite fighters are doing well out abroad. But their top end of the rankings are flawed to my ranking thoughts.

Lol.

Both these guys are in the mix

mix for what, a tittle shot? lebens not even close

This is sorta like Stann vs Santiago. If Leben beats Munoz they switch spots in the rankings.

I was joking

I have no problem with these two fighting on a free card though

Last bunch of fights, I can remember...


Munoz - Dominated by Okami, Dec Simpson, KO Dollaway, Dec Maia (Very close)

Leben - Dec Jay Silva, KO Simpson, Sub Akiyama (miracle), KO'd by Stann, KO Wandy


I don't see much wrong with pairing these guys up, plus who else is there? Nice win against Maia for sure, but throwout Simpson just because they both beat him and you got CB Dollaway, IDK if that says Munoz is that far ahead of Leben on the totem pole? We can look at Wandy now and say he's shot, but he was coming off a win against Bisping (long ago maybe) but Bisping is now a win away from a Title shot. With the landscape of the division as is, I think it's a really good matchup personally.
