Vemola out, Derek Brunson in vs Leben at UFC 155

[wolfpack87]

Actually saw Derek Brunson wrestle in college. So glad to see another NC guy getting a shot. Good luck kid!

C'mon 2 more weeks everyone stay healthy

 

[KnockHimOut]

Does anyone happen to know what the injury was for Vemola to pull out of the fight?

 

[BionicCommando]

You didn't see Joey Beltran v Aaron Rosa then?

Honestly this really would've been a better one. That was two B- slopfesters duking it out.


This would've been the A list hall of famer slopfest king against the heir to his throne.

 

[Sonnen Says]

How can you NOT root for a fighter that calls himself the 'Human Blanket'

 

[mmascene]

Hmmm...Sounds good.

 

[IAC]

Damn, Vemola is this close to getting the boot.

 

[Dart Feld]

I'm rooting for Leben and Brunson did get flattened in his last outing but I could see this ending up looking like Robbie Lawler vs. Lorenz Larkin.

I don't see how this ends up like that at all. Brunson is a fairly one dimensional wrestler.

sorry for a quickhijacking.. but the hell is up with wiki? can we comprise and just let them combine like ufcs 1-50 into one page or something to have our regular pages back. shits frustrating..

 

[Thanos]

Business as usual in the UFC!

Get over it ffs

Is that so?

I must have confused him with Walel, my bad.

 

[Cage917r]

Probably a more interesting fight...sign of things to come

 

[El Chimpo]

leben gonna get that 1st round ko

 

[shonuf]

I would have MUCH rather had Robbie Lawler if he was up to it.

Brunson isn't bad. I think he can make it competitive. I'm not that high on Leben as a fighter compared to most. It's an interesting pick. Glad he's staying on the card.

 

[shonuf]

Ridiculous that this fight stays on PPV over Pickett vs. Wineland. Leben is not and never will be a contender, no matter how much the UFC wants him to be. This gimme fight has no place on PPV.

kind of agree. I understand why he is but he'd be good on FX as well. This would be a great time to get Pickett VS Wineland on a big card. A HW title fight doesn't really need a Leben fight.

 

[rancid]

better than leben getting injured...

 

[Toad21]

good for derek after not getting his shot on tuf, hope he gets the win.

gtfo, go leben!

 

[BionicCommando]

Random guess but I think this gets knocked down to FX, Guillard vs Varner takes main card status and Leonard Garcia vs TBA moves to facebook.

 

[wolfpack87]

Leben is a joke, but he'll probably win this over an inexperienced guy making his debut.
