Was also cool to see Tito get the sub over Ryan Bader probably the last good win of his career
MMAth is so interesting. Leben>Wanderlei>Stann>Leben
I always like to say that the fight should have been called when Mir was out, but I can't really argue with the resultFor me it was his dribbling Nog's head like b-ball.
Also, Nog tko-ing Mir on the feet against the cage, and then grappling and getting his shoulder exploded. I legit struggle to watch that one
Something was wrong with Leben in that Stann fight. Go back and watch his walkout. He looked like death warmed over. I think the guy had the flu or food poisoning or some shit. He looked AWFUL and I don't mean like in bad shape or anything like that, I mean he looked like he was sick as a dog.
checks outGuess Who Was 'Blackout Drunk' Before Weigh Ins
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight Chris Leben reveals he was "blackout drunk" and trashed the Hard Rock hotel bathroom just one day before he had to weigh in for his UFC 125 fight against Brian Stann.www.mmamania.com
To add to this Leben was on hardcore drugs and ended up losing his next 4 (Lost 5 out of 6 with Wandy being his only win). Wandy actually had better success funny enough post Leben fight than Leben did.Eh, i don't know. According to the Pride fanboys here, Fedor/Big Nog/Cro-Cop all exited their primes between 31-33. And Wand was coming off a win against future MW champ Bisping and went 2-1 in his next 3 fights, finishing the same Brian Stann who finished Leben before this fight.
Leben ended up losing 4 straight and had been TKO'd by Stann right before this fight (so lost 5 out of his last 6). Wandy ended up getting finishes over Lee and Stann after this bout, he still had some left in the tank.Pride died here. Leben was addicted to drugs during that time and I don't think he ever won a fight after this one.
Most of the oldheads that hated Leben started hating him because he ruined some parlay where they thought "the sloppy brawler is getting KO'd"I like both guys, but thought Wanderli would win, I was shocked how quick it ended.
Back then people never liked Leben, I never really got it though because I always found his fights to be violent and entertaining and he always let go and went for it, and Leben had zero fear.. even if he was totally outmatched he didn't care, he always tried to throw hard.
As short, sweet and brutal as it gets. Two aged, world-weary animals going at it.
As soon as Wand clinched up, I knew he was screwed. I really wanted Wand to win and couldn't believe he tried to clinch with him.
Another devasting loss for me was when Yves Edwards got ko'd by Sam Stout. My friend was happy it happened. Why do you ask? Because he was a Cody McKenzie fan and was buttburt that Yves beat him
This fight and sonnen sub over shogun hit me so hard.

I remember watching my friend screaming, clutching his head as Leben slapped the triangle on Sexyama in a fight Sexy was winning as his $2000 parlay went up in smoke with 20 seconds left, he didn't even bet on Carwin vs Lesnar as it was a pick em fight in his opinion.
