I like Leben as a fighter, no fear, chin of stone and always tries to end fights.
However Silva really did show the gapinh flaws in his game, must say I see McD taking it to the ground and submitting him, was impressed by his last fight and he seems some1 that could rise up the ranks.

Agreed, McD via submission 1st round. Leben has a tough time with ground guys, don't see this going far. As alway's , Leben alway's has that one lucky punch that he be throwing with his eye's closed.

It's obvious Leben does NOT have a chin of stone, Silva proved that in about 45 seconds. I'm not a fan of Leben's, I think his style is sloppy and I'm sick of the "hard life growing up" story, it's been done. He's a decent fighter but I think he is more flash than substance. In any event, I'm sure it will be a good fight and I see Macdonald winning in the second by Sub.

Have you not watched the fights bar the Silva fight? He's taken shots the head that would kill an elephant, even with Silva he took massive shots to the head before he eventually went down. It doesnt matter how good ur chin is, if u take enough shots u will always go down. Look at Cabbage vs AA, he has a crazy ability to get hit in the head, but after 30 shots to the chin you'll always lose.

Yeah Lebens sloppy and as far as an actual great MMA fighter he's not up there but you have to respect his style compared to lay and pray or Sylvias jab and yawn technique. Leben will always try to finish fights and by KO when ever possible, he's agressive and exciting to watch. This simply makes his fights entertaining.
