PooCocktail Says, in 3-2-2008 at 03:47:53 from 76.176.218.255

Leben is one of the best fighters UFC has.

The guy always puts on a show. He may not be top 5 but still gets out there and bangs for the audience.

i dont like leben.. but good stoppage.. anyways leben aint gunna make it anywhere in this sport..

BruceAZ Says, in 3-2-2008 at 07:21:28 from 63.249.55.22

i’m not a very big fan of Leben but yeah he beat the sh*t out of sakara, maybe sakara should go down another weight class….couldn’t cut it in the light hw devision….and sure can’t in the middleweight devision.

Josh Says, in 3-2-2008 at 08:32:05 from 76.30.36.255

Alessio’s boxing looked really smooth, if only he had some power behind his shots. Not to mention Leben’s chin.

weedsmoker Says, in 3-2-2008 at 09:59:09 from 68.50.101.75

haha fuck sakara, for a boxer his striking sure sucks ass, leben needs another title shot

Luke Says, in 3-2-2008 at 11:52:57 from 91.89.127.117

I can understand the stoppage but I agree with Sakara.
He was still there, his hands where up and he was even trying to grap a hand of Leben when it was stopped.
He caught some good punches, but hey, thats the Sport and should not immediately lead to a stoppage when you see a fighter who’s trying to hang on.

Also I believe Sakara would have destroyed Leben if he’d made it up again.

CSpred Says, in 3-2-2008 at 13:26:06 from 68.80.189.136

Leben pounded him, dropped him, and pounded some more. He was hitting him squarely while he was down … Sakara was in SERIOUS danger of being hurt, BAD … the stoppage was spot on.
Great fight Chris .. can’t wait to see you fight again.

syclone Says, in 3-2-2008 at 13:38:52 from 96.226.7.86

bat call, sakara was definitely blocking the last shot from leben!

kalirudeboy Says, in 3-2-2008 at 14:57:59 from 70.181.183.142

good fight. sakara definitely has the more accurate striking. leben looked sloppy and wild. except those two left hooks. they always work, my favorite punch. leben was losing the fight before he dropped him, and looked much worse for the wear afterwords. the stoppage is not controversial, but i would have let him get hit a couple of more times first, he did look like he was trying to recover. he was in guard.

james Says, in 3-2-2008 at 15:13:24 from 69.214.118.217

haters

he is exciting and already went far in the sport.

stormofshadow Says, in 3-2-2008 at 17:22:01 from 99.228.46.54

i like leben a lot. he might not be the most skilled, but he has tremendous heart and always puts on a good show.

tony Says, in 3-2-2008 at 17:58:25 from 151.32.70.65

Grande comunque Alessio,Sarà tutta esperienza in più,magari ti rafforzerà,e come solo tu sai fare:
“Vai Avanti Fino Alla Fine” ti vogliamo comunque bene!! Onore E merito L’ho si da a tutti gli avversari bravi o meno bravi,e in questo caso l’essere grandi come te ci fa capire ancora una volta che in questo sport l’essere bravi si aiuta ma fino a un certo punto; poi,arriva un colpo inaspettato e ti risolve l’incontro! ho letto delle discriminazioni da 2 lire,ma lasciamo a questi bravi discriminatori il dubbio della domanda:Ma io avrei le palle di entrare in una gabbia e lottare per 5 minuti con uno altrettanto bravo quanto me?
“Onore E Merito Al Nemico” **tony**

ANGER Says, in 3-2-2008 at 18:35:47 from 76.20.43.96

hey Luke, what fight were you watching? Which one of Sakara’s punches, that did nothing to Leben, leads you to believe that he would have won the fight if he got up? Just because a guy is getting hit doesn’t mean he is getting hurt. Sakara is a good fundamental boxer, but he has no power behind his shots. As opposed to Leben, who is sloppy and unskilled but has stone hands. Leben has been training with Penn, he may become a contender, but never wins a title in this top heavy division.

ALEX Says, in 3-2-2008 at 19:35:35 from 79.2.201.232

no power behind his shot?sakara had clean face,leben was destroied….another some year and i will fighting in ufc and i will show you the italian power bye bye colonial

Drew Says, in 3-2-2008 at 21:09:29 from 24.150.124.185

I think the stoppage was mostly academic. If it was too soon, two more bombs and he would’ve been out.

I always pick Leben to lose and somehow he grinds out these brawling victories. Alessio “Glass Jaw” Sakara has great skills, but an extremely suspect chin. It’s unfortunate that he’s ended up becoming a highlight reel.

Doesn't Matter Says, in 3-2-2008 at 23:11:40 from 69.123.6.122

Leben had to go to the hospital that night for a broken nose and Messed up ear …. I’d Say Sakara Has massive Power, He will get his Time to prove it Sooner then Later ….

ANGER Says, in 3-3-2008 at 00:04:32 from 76.20.43.96

Well Alex I’ll wait for that “another some year” for you to “destroied” somebody.

dirty 7-30 Says, in 3-3-2008 at 00:29:16 from 72.140.75.249

good stoppage. Sorry Alessio you weren’t blocking shit, you leave the ref with no option, regardless of you aware you were after the stoppage.

Joachim K Says, in 3-3-2008 at 00:29:20 from 24.168.154.76

Anger: Chris Leben does not train with B.J. Penn.

1. Penn trains in Hilo HW, his gym is BJ Penn MMA
2. Leben trains out of Oahu HW, his gym is Icon Fitness MMA Gym

They are Hawaiian gym rivals.

chris cringle Says, in 3-3-2008 at 01:10:19 from 24.85.152.66

lebens a very good fighter. he always puts on a show. yea he gasses but he doesn’t have top tier coaches & trainers. this guy wins fights the only way he knows how – he’s got heart & that nasty left hook thata knock yo momma’s momma out!!!

van Says, in 3-3-2008 at 01:23:19 from 70.70.133.73

It looks like many of you didnt even saw the fight, he was hit on the side of the head (temple), not the chin!

Also, sakara wasnt even at guard, his legs were not even holding lebens body.. so you have to agree he was definitely knocked out! Leben did great.

kind of lidell vs rampage, that after being out, another punch woke him up.

alex Says, in 3-3-2008 at 11:51:29 from 195.31.242.38

Leben is a sucker…he won only because he is ment to be a “UFC STAR” after the reality TV show…

this match was stolen by the referee!

OriontheKiwi Says, in 3-3-2008 at 13:10:10 from 128.172.247.200

I hated Leben until I went back and watched the entire TUF Season 1. Now I really like the guy.

Mike Says, in 3-3-2008 at 13:10:13 from 24.193.16.219

Leben has got a chin, If you were to judge the fight on face damage haha Leben would have lost. But no, good stoppage. Herb already decided to jump in after two undefended blows to the face and wasn’t going to let Sakara eat a third even though it looked like Sakara was going to try to get up Herb was already all over it.

Anger Says, in 3-3-2008 at 13:22:40 from 66.60.145.16

Joachim K. Thanks for the info man. Mainlanders have no clue

Durkastanian Says, in 3-3-2008 at 18:13:42 from 24.22.115.35

Leben should be given another shot at Anderson Silva with one stipulation. Silva must be injected with a sedative and hog tied, and then MAYBE Leben would have a shot.

derek Says, in 3-3-2008 at 20:07:55 from 70.181.218.179

quit fuckin hatin. Show respect, leben has made it pretty damn far in this sport. Hes definitely improving his all around mma skills each time he fights. Id say one more win and then give him a title shot. He may not beat silva, but it would probably be a good show. Someone would get knocked the fuck out.

Duncan Says, in 3-4-2008 at 00:02:21 from 216.86.104.111

hell yea i am chris leban’s biggest fan.. puts on an amazing show. when iam watchin it in the pub and everybody is going against him, i love standin up clappin hahaha brawl and bang it out.. solid chin. just love it

CITY Says, in 3-4-2008 at 04:38:43 from 63.240.83.3

sakara got crippled… bo ra

Luis Says, in 3-4-2008 at 14:20:40 from 74.254.8.2

This was a good fight. Lots of big punches. Good on Leben.

chris jr Says, in 3-4-2008 at 19:28:16 from 12.214.214.109

chris leben is a tuff son of a bitch, with a steel chin this guy is a good brawler, i’m impressed .what the ufc should do is to throw in a much improved tuff chris leben and give him the rematch with anderson silva and let silva push lebens magic button and see what happens,since theres nobody to fight silva now that dan is out the question.what do you think.mma fans

dirty 7-30 Says, in 3-5-2008 at 02:30:54 from 72.140.75.249

I agree Leben should be thrown in to the spider’s den. He will loose, but at least his knockouts a HL quality.

Don Says, in 3-5-2008 at 19:23:57 from 142.162.34.222

HAHA Herb “badcall” Dean!!

MarDizzLe Says, in 3-5-2008 at 20:28:59 from 76.244.175.98

good stoppage first off!!!…..second i think i could whoop leben’s ass!

Smashedyoface Says, in 3-6-2008 at 13:36:59 from 64.239.154.138

Leben is a brawler… no question about that. But it takes far more than his chin and looping shots to be a real title contender. Put him up against Marquardt, Lutter, or Franklin and he would get demolished. Sakara has the potential to be a really good fighter, after he learns more head movement and how to deal with guys that come fast and swinging like Leben and Alexander.

jordan485 Says, in 3-26-2008 at 01:26:05 from 220.237.60.192

leben has done it again
i honestly believe leben and lutter are the only two mw’s who can beat silva if they are EXTREMELY lucky
look, i know he has already beat both but these are my reasons:
1. chris likes to bang as does silva so if they were bangin leben can catch silva and ko him, i doubt it but hey its very possible and leben does have a awesome chin
2.lutter is superb on the ground like in their first match if the fight goes to da ground he can submit silva its possible

but i doubt anyone can beat silva, ANYONE!!!!!!
