Hey I just posted it here after seeing it on BE, just passing the reaction on. But Leben vs Munoz as the main event? Yeah the UK is getting a little fucked here.

True, I doubt we'll ever get a title bout or a major fight.

We almost got Liddel vs Shad but then Chuck blew his knee out [/quote















u talking about the card that ended up being hughes vs thiago. that card ended up being one of the best of the year.

I was just looking at Paul Taylor's old fights. Dude has 3 UFC Fight Of The Night bonuses. Surprised you haven't seen him before. He has been with the UFC since 2007.

Doesn't ring a bell, Taylor must not have made an impression.

Well ali, Taylor relies heavily on his boxing skills, so u might like him.

Though it is not that surprising that he hasn't made a big impression, 3-5 in his last 8, those 3 wins being vs's guys by the names of Ruedigar, Sobotta, Liaudin

He destroyed the last grappler he fought. DESTROYED.

Who was this?

Not sure who you are asking about. The tweet was made by Snake. The fighter GDP is talking about that Snake destroyed was Cantwell I think.

I didn't know if he was considering Cantwell a grappler or someone before he got to the UFC

I assumed he was talking about Cantwell since that was his last fight and it was pure domination. I think they even had a couple 10-7 rounds?

At this point I consider Cantwell a terrible striker, better grappler, overall not as great as his post fights celebrations would suggest he is.

Does Cantwell ever really use his grappling? Or is he just a guy who likes to get punched in the face?

4 of his 7 wins are via submission, including his UFC debut.

UK always gets the pooh main events.

How dare you call the first 5 round non-title fight pooh

Leben is so overrated these days, a PPV with him as the main event is pooh

Leben would not have even lasted the 3 rounds...so once again...pooh.

Munoz isn't a very hard guy to find the chin of. Anything can happen here

Well if Michael Bisping can take Leben down, I'm sure Munoz won't have any problems doing the same. Munoz is the more talented fighter here, Leben's only shot is to land the big one.

Leben also shrugged off Simpson pretty easily after that first round and put him away. Munoz I'm sure will be able to land some takedowns but his wrestling isn't that special MMA wise

He won't need it. He'll knock that overrated parrot duhfugout

It's 100x better then Bispings MMA grappling.

Not only is Munoz better at wrestling, he is physically stronger then both Leben and Bisping. Superior in both technique and power. In a fight he would put both men on the mat every round they were in that cage.

People think because Bisping survived the McDojo clutches of Denis Kang's mount and he sneaks in a few point grubbing takedowns that lead to immediate stand ups against fighters like The Corpse formely known as Wanderlei Silva and Jorge Rivera that he's a good grappler. He's good defensively but if Bispng gets on top, you get back up...if Munoz gets on top it's likely over because he has some of, if not the most vicious ground and pound in the division and he can top control.
