I think Leben learned that he shouldn't block punches with his face, lol.
The Liddell \ Silva fight prolly only has a 20% chance of happening. Things working against it: Liddell losing to Babalu, Liddell getting injured in the Babalu fight, Silva getting injured in his fight a month before the scheduled date, and most importantly, Pride and UFC not getting a deal agreement in place. Dana White is talking right now about how this fight prolly isn't going to happen.
If we were to give edges in the weightclasses to the orgs, I would say UFC has MW and LHW and Pride has a slight edge in terms of LW (although Sherk and Penn if he dropped down -which he won't - would give Pride's top men a challenge) and a huge ass one in HW.
As far as this card, I'd say that this is Diego's chance to prove he isn't just a TUFer, but a legitimate fighter. While I think he is a tool, I also think the fight will be closer than all the people who say Karo will win think. Love him or hate him, Diego is pretty good, and he's one of the few legitimate fighters to come out of the reality show.
Koscheck needs to stop appearing on my television until he learns submissions.
