To me it looks like he walks around at 200 and already cuts 15lbs..

I think Munoz vs. Sonnen would be a great match up. Munoz pushes the pace and might be the only guy at 185 whose wrestling is just as good as Sonnen's. He also might have the slight edge in striking.
Unfortunately, I think both him and Sonnen would get destroyed by a healthy Anderson Silva. |

You're right on. Only thing is, Sonnen took Stann to the ground and dominated him from there. I don't know if he'd be able to do that to Munoz as easily. Also, I still discount the Silva performance based on Anderson's injury and Chael's testosterone levels. I know it's debatable, but I don't see him dominating a healthy AS the same way.

Well Munoz doesn't have great take down d, but that's just because he's so good at scrambling, at some point he ends up in a good position when he gets taken down. One of the few guys who can actually do that on a consistent basis. He gets himself into trouble, but he reminds me of Fedor in the sense that he's always looking to finish and inflict lots of punishment.

I dont think they should delay a Sonnen/Silva money makermain event. If Munoz beats Sonnen then they lose a potential rematch.
Im sure ppv sales Sonnen/Silva > Munoz/Silva |

The UFC usually pairs winners with winners and losers with losers. Beating Okami wouldn't exactly move him up in the rankings, but if he wanted to avenge the loss it would makes sense.
If they can do Sonnen/Silva in the next 3 or 4 months they should definitely do that fight, but if Anderson is going to be out for awhile I'd rather see Chael fight Munoz than sit for six months. |

Chael vs Munoz is def a great match up, but as Crimson said, they'll lose a HUGE rematch if Munoz wins.. Also, with the lack of depth right now there are only a handfull of guys out there..
No announced fight: Chael-w Munoz-w Leben-L Stann-L Okami-L Wandy is fighting Le and Belfort is fighting Rumble.. The only other guy out there off the top of my head is my boy Alan Belcher, but he is just coming back off a year long injury.. He has won three straight, and IMO should have won against Akiyama at UFC 100, which would make his win streak 8 dating all the way back to 2008.. But does a Munoz/Belcher match really make sense right now?? This is making my brain hurt.. |

I think he was over whelmed by Munoz grappling and GnP.. Leben has always had and iron chin but he took ALOT of damage in those first two rounds.. |

Sounds like more excuses from Leben, which is sadly becoming more common from him. Just like after the fight with Stann he said he did bad because he ate a bunch of candy after the weigh ins. You can't do stuff like that and then try to paint yourself as a contender at 185.

I guess Leben didn't do so hot because he has doped up on painkillers. He's been suspended for a year. Damn.

The UFC handles the testing themselves when they're in Britain.
The Brits have enough trouble finding good dentists and can't be bothered with drug testing. #CANIGETARIMSHOT |
