I say if Leben wins then put him against Belcher. That would be a very interesting matchup.

No no no. If he wins put him against WAND.

Hell, put him against both!

I actually would love to see Wand vs Leben. Belcher would wreck him standing, so that wouldn't be fun. But Wand has that brawling style too, so should be a decent scrap. Wand would win easily though, IMO.

According to Akiyama's blog he's not thrilled about fighting Leben.

Not thrilled why? Because he thinks it's a harder fight or he thinks it's not a prestige fight?

Because Lebens takedown defense is better, as is his chin at this point.

Dangerous fight with no name attached I would guess.

Lose/lose for him.

Well then how did you even know that he doesn't want to fight Leben?

3.5u on Brock Lesnar. Though I wouldn't care it he lost.

Here spx. A link in English. My guess is he's just posturing to get paid.

Interesting. Thanks for that.

I guess we'll see. Considering the change was announced, I assumed that he had already accepted the fight.
