I was really disappointed in the fight. I was starting to believe all of Leben's hype that he was such a great fighter. Throw all that emotion in on top of it and I thought it was going to be one hell of a fight.
Leben's ground skills are horrible. He knew Koscheck was just going to lay on him, yet he kept wrapping his legs around him. How can you expect to escape when you're wrapped around your opponent?
Koscheck was a disappointment as well. I wrestled in high school and college and I know that if you ask any decent wrestler what they feel about people who get ahead and stall, you will get a very negative response. Sure Koscheck said in this situation a win is a win, but I garauntee if you asked him about a staller when he was stil wrestling he would've had some very negative comments. He should be ashamed of himself.
I guess Koscheck deserved the win because if Leben was as good as he claimed, he could've gotten up from those sorry ass covers. However, it's not a victory that Koscheck should be proud of.
