Someone please call the whambulance.

I dont know about that one....it seemed like whenever he really wanted to, he would tag Leben with shots on the feet. Infact, he outstruck Leben on the feet.

First tweet is great. Second tweet calls for, as S=E says, the whambulance.

Some are slower than others to mature...some are really slow.

Sounds like the same old jackass to me, making excuses, being disrespectful to the guy that beat him.

Luc1an 01-03-2013 11:40 AM

i blame Chris Leben.

leben is at fault for the fight being boring, Brunson did his job by coming in and winning on like two weeks notice

Or how about the fact he has just never been that good? Really his only strong suit is that he can take punch and keep coming forward. Guys basically got tried from hitting him so much it left them open or a big shot (Sexyama, Simpson, Martin). And if they didn't tire out he got beat usually in one sided fashion.

Leben just needs to retire and go away, the sport moved past him a long time ago.

Chris leben is a beast....just inconsistant.....still want to see him fight Robbie Lawler, Melvin Manholf, or Hector Lombard.....I think either fight would probably split an atom and blow up the arena.....
