mike has more time to train for this but go chris get a knock out
o yeah i love the card now
i hope ol Chris kills him
Hughes and Alves…what? That's a great fight and I really didn't think Hughes would fight anyone but Serra. Maybe that loss to GSP motivated him to try for a comeback.
lets go leben. stop trying to look dumb on youtube…cuz you do. and try to knock this mofo out.
Kick his ass, Im sick of Bisping and his ego.
Sack that! This Card is awesome now! Go BISPING! I like leben and I was hoping this match would happen. Gonna be a great fight – tuff to call. Time for Bisping to prove whether he's got a chin or not. If he beats Leben he'll get the recognition he wants… if not its back to the drawing board!
I was soo pissed off about Chuck (especially cos I've got tickets) but the UFC has sorted out a great card as a replacement – I'm happy!
Cheers Dana White!
I hope Leben can take this fight. I like both of them, but I like Leben much better because he is always the underdog, but can usually pull through. I think if it ends up on the ground though, the ball is in bisping's court.
yup its time for Bisping to put up not that he …kinda …hasnt already … well sort of…..get him Leben …Chris has taken a few punches from a few people Terry Martin tried him…so have a couple others ..and lost …get him Leben …
the card is looking pretty good now and this should be a tough fight i could se it going either way.
its gonna be a good fight. they are both goin to throw a lot of leather. but i tihnk bisping is a lot more rounded and hes just goin to overwhelm leben. bisping gnp him out in the third round
This Looks Wrong To Me This Isent The Card
Brandon, this is an old card. This isn't the right Bisping and Leben. This is before Leben got arrested.
