|  Leben on Sakara:"He doesn't deserve to be in the UFC."
Quote: |
Thoughts on upcoming opponent, Alessio Sakara? - He's got decent hands, decent stand up, and is explosive. But he's not much of a grappler. He doesn't deserve to be in the UFC, he's not well rounded enough and doesn't have the heart.

Nothing big, I just thought it was kind of disrespectful. I like Leben, but, Jesus yo...learn to keep quiet sometimes.

He has lost 3 of out his last 5 and WAS on the road to losing his last match till he pulled it out of him ass, I never like the guy this makes me cheer for sakara more. He should stfu and run to icon like he was planning, you know the the competition is easier.
Hope sakara actually uses his boxing and shows he is a solid striker and leben makes leben a walking punching bag.

I would have said the same thing about Leben after that newcomer came in and destroyed him in like 49 seconds. He had no clinch game whatsoever. Leben just likes to talk shit. He doesn't deserve it but I'd love to see Silva tax that ass again.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Pots shouldn't call kettles black.
...insert random adage about hypocrisy here...
Leben is a mediocre fighter at best, and I hope Sakara highlight reels his sorry ass.

You know, after he pulled off his last win and fought a bit differently.. I was like, maybe I will give Leben another chance. But it is as clear as day that Leben hasn't changed since the "He should go back to Japan where the competition is easier" days..
I agree with Rivethead... I hope Sakara takes him out.

leben is a tough kid, but he talks too much shit. i'm not really surprised by this as leben has never had a reputation of being a humble, classy guy, but i still wouldnt be surprised to see him knock out sakara.

Hope sakara actually uses his boxing and shows he is a solid striker and leben makes leben a walking punching bag. | yeah, he's 2-3 in his last 5, but he did win 5 fights in a row before that and is a proven big draw. Saraka's gone 3-3, only winning against low-level competition that was debuting. i don't like leben much at all, but he's earned his stay while sakara hasn't. many better guys have done less to get fired, i.e. buentello, jeremy horn(at the time his only loss was chuck), and others that escape me right now. now Sakara at 185 could be interesting, but he's already lost to two guys that later dropped down to 205, so he's not going to be a huge middleweight. i don't dislike the guy or anything, but he's not a fighter i care about and really hasn't shown anything to show that he deserves to be in the UFC

Personally, I want to see Leben got to the WEC for an immediate Title shot if he wins this fight. | Maybe Sakara called Leben a fatherless bastard
who knows?
.....(inside TUF joke for those who remember lol)
