[The Mask]

niceeee. pretty good midcard (wanderlei :'() matchup.

[MoFo]

Awesome.

Leben ftw though.

I have mixed feelings. I like Leben a lot, but he can afford a loss. Wandy... not so much.

The UFC loves Leban but I dunno about him being able to afford a loss.. Both of them need a win but Leban was on a good roll before the Stann fight.. It looked like he was in a similar position to when he was pushing towards the title and Silva destroyed him.. That loss put him back a long way and it's taken him years to climb back up the ranks to contender position.. A win against Wandy would throw him right back in the mix where as another devastating loss could keep him from ever getting a title shot and hold him to midcard status..

Wandy only has one "good" win in the UFC since his return (the Jardine KO) but has maintained on name status alone.. Even with a win I don't see him getting a title shot any time soon..

I don't see either of those guys as title contenders in my humble opinion. I'd put Okami, Bisping, Sonnen and Stann ahead of Leben and you're right in saying that Wandy wouldn't be in the mix with a win.

I just feel like if Leben loses it would be his 2nd in a row after a three fight win streak that saw him knock off Akiyama in his big debut on like two weeks notice. Shit like that wins you extra lives with Dana.

If Wandy loses that's 4 out of his last 6 and I think he'd be closer to the cut list. The only thing that might possibly save him is the fact that he lost to a murderers row of fighters that there's no shame in losing to.

Akiyama's debut was at 100 against Belcher..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also don't see how you put Akiyama above Leban.. IMO he lost his debut to Belcher, which is his only win in the UFC.. Leban also holds a win over him..

[Kris P Lettus]

I see now you said Okami when ranking, not Akiyama..

My apologies..
