Wow....to pissed off to post since the fight...goddamnit. Even Though I think Leben was pretty much dominating the fight,Mcdonald has awesome ground game and hats off to him for getting off a sick choke.On top of that I bet my sig...2 weeks right? Jesus Christ....I'm just like Chris Leben...I talk shit and talk shit until....bam foot in the mouth...but also like Leben I'll be back again.

War!!! Catsmasher

huh, leben was winning that fight until he gassed. Thats his own fault because he dont train hard he just figures he can go in there and knock people out, if he had great cardio he would be better because he could throw those wild ass punches as long as he wanted and not get tired.

remember on TUF first night he got smashed drunk and then outran every single person in Randys workout? Then again his body was more ripped during that time.Who knows maybe he gained the weight to make it more difficult for McDonald to get the takedown? Or maybe he just got lazy,didnt work out and or was drinking to much.

it was said that he wasnt training as much for this fight, or just fighting in general. i mean he never will be champ but he has a chance to be good if he would only train right, he has power and if he could clean up his striking and get ALOT better cardio and better take down d then he would be ok, but thats alot of needs. As for MacDonald i dont think he is that good and he will get beat first round by franklin, franklin is a cleaner puncher, good power, good takedown d, and good combos. Mac wont be able to take him down and wont be able to beat him standing so thats a bad night for him, he is getting all this praise because he beat herman and leben, i dont think the guy is that good at all but good for him he gets to fight franklin, but i hope he beats mac down for saying fighting franklin is a step down for him

I would have much rather seen a war between Leben and Franklin but...life sucks. Franklin will probably dominate.but if he doesn't it legitamizes Leben again lol...so...(sigh)

it was in one of the interviews i read saying he was soppose to be going between camps but they said they dont think he actually was, yeah ive seen the swick leben fight but right now i would give it to swick all day, swick has came along way since they last fought. i like leben alot but there would be a war with franklin as much as i would like one franklin would pick apart leben look what he did to nate, all power and all slop. Franklin has good standup and movement enough to dodge and make leben miss and pay, i like leben but until he tones up his striking and works on cardio he wont go very far.

I blame that dumbass haircut.....and will drink one for MacDonald, here's to hoping he beats Rich.

Yes he really said that fighting Franklin was a step down because he won and that franklin lost and fighting him isnt really moving up. Yeah that hair cut was messed up leben is a goof, and to be honest MacDonald has about the same chance Sanchez did against Mirko. People forget franklin is good on the ground seeing alot of his wins come from sub, he has only has 2 losses and both were ko, but he has finished every one of his fights becides one, he first dec came with the crow who he pretty much dominated the whole fight. The rest of his wins come from tko ko or sub, and he will show that mac is over rated, and i hope he breaks his jaw for talking shit before he has earned that right.
