How many MayheM matches have you seen where he's fought at 170? He has stated in the past he doesn't like fighting at 170 because he feels and looks like a skeleton.
People think that because he fought GSP at 170 that it's his normal weight class, that's far from the truth.

Right after A.Silva beat Leben, Leban was back in the octagon with a fight. I think a Franklin v Leben fight would be worth while and be a very good draw for the fans.

Yeah I think that fight with GSP is the only time he has fought at 170. Could be wrong however. Mayhem actually fought at HW one time. I think he weighted in a 213.

I think he might of fought Ronald Jhun at 170, but not positive.

Franklin v Leben would be very good undercard bout just before the Silva v Swick fight.

Rich Franklin vs. Chris Leben.
Despite what most people think I'd choose Leben to defeat Franklin.Chris has a good chin and heavy hands.Chris would eventually catch Franklin and win the fight by KO.Rich was always a bit over rated imo and Silva proved that.
