Although Leben isn't a ranked guy, glad this fight is happening again. Leben will bring it and I think he wins the standup, just can't end up on bottom

Agreed, this will be a real tough test for Bisping. I was hoping they might give him someone ranked a little higher, but Leben has beaten some very good guys in Cote, Martin, Swick, Radach, and Jorge Santiago.

This is probably the only non-ranked matchup for Bisping I won't bitch about. I don't like either guy and it should make for an interesting fight.

The thing I do not like is that it is the main event. They better have some strong fights to go along with this.

Although it looks like Wanderlei Silva will be fighting Thiago Silva and that is rumored to happen in OCtober so that would be a very nice addition.

Bisping has been treated this way to pander to the English fans, so headlining doesn't surprise me. At least he is meeting with someone who should be able to make it a good fight and perhaps win. Could be another Hamill-type decision though.

the only other fight listed is Dan Hardy, whoever the hell that is.

Bisbing runs, Leben forces the action, Leben wins by KO.

Hopefully it is a co-main event and they bring in another big fight. I do expect this one to be an exciting fight.

It seems pretty much set that Silva vs. Silva will happen the last issue is figuring out when it will happen.

This will be the first time that I have ever cheered for the Cat Smasher. If I had to bet though, I would go with Bisping.
