Leben prophetic, Anderson going back to Japan

[CerebralKnievel]

but he did Terrible in japan

He was the consensus number one ranked welterweight in the world for a time (adjusted obviously due to the slight shift in weight classes between here and there at the time), so not sure what you're even talking about.

I like how Anderson Haters always refer to those fights while ignoring the fact that a rookie Silva dominated and beat the best Japanese fighter ever in Sakurai who was ranked #1 p4p at the time.

I remember watching Anderson's UFC debut against Leben on Spike TV in 2006.

It's hard to realize that was 14 years ago. Getting older is a hell of a thing.

Yeah, man. I remember having to tell my friends who Silva was and winning bets in both the Leben and Franklin fights because my homie didn't know. Time flies, my dude.

Bet he didn’t see these shots coming though!

maybe we'll get old fedor vs old silva

hahahaha after all these years Andy is taking his advice. Leben should be his manager

Leben was running the show. He threw the fight with Anderson since he was the only one on the Zuffa payroll that could take the strikes from Anderson. Leben is the one who gave Silva his fame. He's like the director guy in the Truman Show, except Truman doesn't walk out of the world he knows. He does what he's told to do. Chris Leben is a brilliant businessman.

If anything, I hope they put him in a fixed fight so he can get one final W and walk off into the sunset. I’d be happier if he just retired though.

Doubt he'll retire now.
He found a new hobby.
Whispering how much he's proud of guys to pass them the torch and watch them cry like lil fan girls about it.

In other news, Ryo Chonan is being signed as well .

It would just be the latest technique learned from Sensai Segal.
