Default Leben's Coach - "Chris was sick and throwing up minutes before the fight"
UFC 125 Results: Coach Says Chris Leben Was Sick, Vomiting Before Bout With Brian Stann - Bloody Elbow

Quote:
Chris Leben was an overwhelming favorite heading to his UFC 125 bout against Brian Stann. It didn't matter though, as "The All-American" shocked everyone with a dominant first round stoppage, dropping Leben multiple times during their co-headlining bout. Known for his granite chin, this was the first time Leben got knocked out since he faced off against UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva back in 2006. His coach, Burton Richardson though, says Leben's poor performance may have been caused by a sickness before the bout:

First, great job by Brian Stann. He never looked better. Many have commented that Chris was very slow and looked off last night. The truth is that Chris was sick. He had a fever and chills when he stepped into the cage. He was vomiting in the lockeroom before the fight, and after a hard warm up he didn't have a drop of sweat. Big heart to fight like that, but he was moving slow motion. He was very sharp in training. He will be back.

...

My post was clear to many, but for the others, allow me to elucidate.
1. people were wondering why Chris looked slow and "off". I provided them with the reason.
2. I did nit say that this was the reason for the loss. Stann was amazing and may have won anyway. Good job by Brian.
3. If I had said "chris lost because he was sick", that would have been an excuse and would have been unwarranted.

Chris is banged up, still battling the flu, but is in good spirits. Thanks for the support.

I believe it

Nobody has their way with Chris like that...he was off and something about his entrance to the cage just didnt feel right

Have no doubt in my mind he will be back stronger and entertaining us.

He looked like a zombie. Literally.

But too bad for Leben. Hopefully he will get it back together. Again.

Ha, doesn't he always look like a zombie?

This was unfortunate for Leben as he had racked up 3 wins and now he begins from the bottom once again (kinda)...

Yea this was a really bad decision by Leben.. if you were sick call that shit off. There wasnt that much upside for him in this fight in the first place.. he had everything to lose tho, I woulda rather called it off then taking a beaten by a guy who no one really thought was on Leben's level yet.

Maybe he felt the pressure of being in the co-main event but the same thing happened but on a smaller stage when the UFC wouldn't let Alessio fight Rivera in the co-main event of a fight night. Leben should of let them know.
