What my title says. I think this would be an explosive 3 minute fight.

Unfortunately I couldn't see a way for Leben to win this. Leben needs slower guys. Leben Munoz/Maia would be better. Or Leben/Miller. Leben doesn't do well with fast handed strikers.

gotta agree. leben tends to do well with guys that will stand toe to toe and slug it out until someone falls. belfort fights smarter than that. i'd still like to see the fight though. curious to see if belfort could ko him.

Fun fight!
Vitor has to be the huge favorite. Leben isn't a smart striker. He just has massive power alongside a crazy strong jaw. I think Vitor is just way too technical for Leben. Things would end bad, imo.
However, what would happen if the fight goes in the 3rd round? Vitor doesn't have solid conditioning, and we all know Leben seems to be at his best in zombie mode(as crazy as it sounds)...?
I'd love to see it!
