Nate Quarry To Replace Chris Leben At UFC 85?

[GetKnockedOut]

this doesnt change anything, only now it will be nate winning ko rather then leben winning by ko,

I'd rather see Leben vs Bisping, but this is a good idea if Leben cant fight. This will be a tough fight for Bisping but i think he will win. He is all around a better fighter and more technical. Nate is one tough dude but i'm not completely sold on his skills yet. He gets owned by Franklin, has surgery then comes back and ko's Pete Sell (while taking ALOT of damage himself) and then fights Starnes and wins by descision (can we even call that a fight?)

I think Bisping will outclass him and win but Quarry sure does have that KO power. Should be entertaining.

2 words if the fight happens;
War Quarry.

Plus UFC wants to baby sit Bisping so they can make as much money of him as possible before throwing him to the wolves so he gets KTFO.

So you are saying that 3 guys who got owned by Silva should get a title shot over Quarry who has dynamite in his hands and Bisping who has only 1 loss in his career? Sure not many people will argue that Quarry or Bisping are better than Franklin or Hendo. But those same people have to admit they don't want to see Silva dominate Franklin and Hendo again. And by the way no one ever said they deserved a shot befor Okami. But they do deserve to fight for a chance to fight for the title if they win their next fight.

I think it looks like a pretty good fight, should definitely be a stand up battle because I can see both guys wanting to put on a good fight and win by KO. I bet Nate would love the fight because he will still be in pretty good shape and didn't even get touched in his last fight.

Nate is also a pretty fair match up for Bisping because they both last fought at the same time, unless Nate stopped training. But I expect he stayed going at it looking to get back in the cage as soon as possible.

Don't know who I want to win though: big fan of both guys. I may have to go for Bisping because I am English though.

Should be a great fight - I think it will be Bisping's biggest test. I think Nate will take this.

I say do the awesome Franklin/Hendo fight and have the winner face the winner of this fight, im not saying either guys are in the same class as hendo, franklin, or silva, but I think they need to go somewhere after they win this fight and silva does need fresh opponents.

The only difference is that if Bisping breaks his foot he will just stand in the middle of the cage and just keep swinging until someone gets KTFO. I mean Bisping was almost too proud to move down to MW there is no way his pride will let him Starnes it, I don't care if he has two broken feet, lol.

I think it would be a good replacement. I just really want Leben to fight Bisping!

I'd have to go w/ Nate, Bisping is much more explosive, but Quarry is a more solid striker, plus he's been in a main event(not for very long, but he was there, lol).
