    Default Your picks for Leben V. Bisbing?

    Michael Bisping Vs. Chris Leben
    Keith Jardine Vs. Brandon Vera
    Paul Taylor Vs. Chris Lytle
    Paul Kelly Vs. Marcus Davis

    Should be a good card. I'm pretty sure all of these fights are gonna stay standing, should make for some good knock outs.

    On a side note Vera/Jardine would have been a better main event imo.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing about Vera/Jardine.

    Anyway, I can't see Bisbing winning tonight by anything other than out pointing Leben. Bisbings strength is stand up, as is Lebens. Bisbing, however, doesn't have nearly as much power as Leben. That, and his chin is relatively untested. Nobody questions Lebens chin though, there is absolutely no way Bisbing of all people is gonna KO/TKO him (of course anything could happen, but yeah it shouldn't). Also, Leben has matured immensely as a fighter. He's gotten serious with his training, stopped drinking, etc. He did pretty fuckin good as a pudgy brawler that swung his arms around wildly, tonight we'll see how much better he is as an in-shape, serious fighter.

    Three things I'd like to point out-

    1)Who saw Davis as winning that fight by submission?
    2)Lytle/Taylor was an all out war. Great fight all around.
    3)The rest of the card was a little bit boring.

    I didn't happen to catch it, who got fight of the night?

    I'm guessing Lytle/Taylor. I think Davis is going to fight Lytle next, then maybe he'll get some more high profile fights. IMO it would be an awesome fight, two former pro-boxers that also have great ground games(Lytle has a BJJ black belt). Davis would definitely have the stand up edge though. He's way too technical for Lytle to get away with those wild punches.

    If Lytle tried to fight Davis the way he fought last night, it would never get out of the first minute of the first round. On the other hand, if Davis ended up on the ground, it would work out the same way in favor of Lytle.

    I don't know how horrible your sub defense has to be to let Davis lock in a guillotine, but hey, I like Davis and really don't care how he wins.

    I don't know, Davis has a pretty underestimated ground game. Lytle obviously would have an advantage but I don't think it'd be a longshot to say Davis could hang with him on the ground. He is primarily a stand up fighter, but I mean over half his wins are by submission.
