I want to see this fight in '09.
I'd be going for Nate

Leben has heavier hands and a better chin, but Nate is better everywhere else...striking, grappling, submissions and conditioning. If I'm not mistaken, he's a little bigger than Leben as well, with better reach.

His ground game far outstrips Leben, so unless he's trying to prove a point by standing with him, I'd say it goes to the ground and Nate subs him.

I would say Nate wins. But I would be pulling for Leben, an Leben can def win this fight.

He has heavy hands an good chin, with decent to good take down d. So if he can bum rush Nate in the first without getting taken down i believe Leben would knock him out

I didn't think anybody else had posted it and I only thought of it when I re-watched UFC 88 the other night.
I watched the Marquadt v Kampmann fight and thought;
"I'd like to see Nate face Leben..."

Nate looked like a man with something to prove in his fight with Kampmann. Looking like that, only a big Leben win over Bisping could sway me against Nate.

Nate by sub.
