Bisping has looked absolutely terrific in his two fights at middleweight thus far. One could say that the guys he fought sucked, and if they did cool. Bisping did what you're supposed to do to guys who suck and finished them in the first round.

As with all Leben fights though, all it'll take to end it is that one big left.

I don't think you can say Jason Day sucks. He's tough as hell, and fairly well skilled...Chainsaw, you would have a point.

I didn't say Jason Day sucks, he's a good tough fighter who stepped into a tough situation and got his ass beat.

In terms of the other comment though I believe some other gentlemen on this board have made the assertion that Day sucks.

Sorry, the you was meant to be abstract.

The Crippler crushes the Count.

Word is that according to Meltzer's newsletter the Bisping v. Leben card is going to be free on Spike with a PPV card likely coming a week or so afterward.

Apparently an Alves v. Diego fight is looking to be a pretty strong possibility for this card as well. I'll take Diego via Alves having to make weight for this fight and gassing out because of it.

Bisping v. Leben, and Alves/Sanchez would be solid co main events especially for a free card.

I just signed on to post this. How could you do this to me????

Should be a great fight. Sanchez will need to step up his wrestling big time if he wants to get this one to the ground, but he also has a great chin so I do not see Alves finishing it on the feet. I am one of the 12 Sanchez die hard fans so I will be rooting for him in this one.

How do you know this is a free card?

Alves-Diego is another exciting matchup. The UFC has done a much better job recently of coming up with interesting matchups.

PJ - I'll be cheering for Sanchez too

Word on the street is that Meltzer apparently says so in his mail out newsletter this week. Meltzer is usually right.

I've kind of had a feeling that it might be anyway. We haven't had a free numbered card yet this year, and since I don't think the UFC and Dana are "teh EVILLLLLLLLLLL"

when Bisping v. Leben was announced I kind of thought that sounds like this card might be a free one then.
