why all the hate for leben?

[binimac]

i understand that his record as of late isn't that impressive but shit, dont you get a little credit for actually being exciting and fun to watch? not everybody will have super-impressive records, but when a guy sits there and tells you he is going to stand and bang with anyone and does it, it usually makes for a great fight. and when guys are overwhelmed with his hands, and take him down he's got fucking game on the ground to!

i know he brings alot of heat on himself with his mouth but maybe we are really going to see a new chris. everybody must admit that physically looked incredible compared to his past training camps. he also seems to have calmed his emotions throughout the fight and even the post fight interview. i know i noticed a difference in his all around attitude and wish him the best if he decides to leave the ufc. hopefully they offer another contract, but if not his success likely dosent end here.

The sole reason I dislike the guy is for what he said in the pregame interview for the Anderson Silva fight.

Then he got his ass handed to him.

he's a guy that I LOVE to HATE, did you see TUF?? the guy is an idiot

BUT he was the best I've seen him against Terry Martin on the UFN, his hands looked slow as shit and the only good punch he threw was the KO, but his jitz, leg kicks and weight all looked real good

he was fighting for his spot in the UFC IMO, so i guess I wouldn't mind seeing him again, rematch with Anderson?????

[binimac]

not sure if im ready to see him anderson again. but with chris, you never know when he is going to unload that sleeper punch that he lands when in trouble. that to me is what separates him from alot of mw's in the division

[Gmunit]

^^i was kidding about the rematch

[LookitsLance]

i dont hate him i just think hes very limited as a fighter, and just isnt a good fighter, and i dont find him exciting to watch either. maybe its the divison, and i definitely dont think hes near a title shot yet

[binimac]

now leben can breathe a sigh of relief

I like leben I am the only leben fan in my group of friends lol I think he should fight Cote for his next fight if the Ufc lets him stay I still would like to see Chris hold his hands different but he did look like a new fighter lets see how long it goes on.

Ah, this never gets old!

I'd like to se him and Swick go at it but that has proved to be impossible for one reason or another. I was impressed with Leben in this fight. His ground game looked solid. Composure was the best we've seen from him. I did notice the lack of power though.
