Wanderlei vs Leben

Question

Lean towards Wanderlei in this fight, but have not pulled the trigger yet.

Leben has been calling out Silva for years, and I expect Leben to be motivated and in great shape for the fight. Will Silva show up? Current line I can get it Silva -165 Leben +145. Do you think the line will move much? If so what direction?

Thoughts?

Tough fight but i also gotta go with Wand. Both fan faves so lots of action on both sides. line stays the same imo or slight movement.

basically 2 brawlers  swinging wildly..give me the one with the better chin (leben)...although im pullin for wand..but his mileage,deteriorated chin, and long layoff isnt good

Leben currently sitting at &#x2B;155.    Gonna make a nice size play simply on value.   Somebody is getting knocked out, hopefully is Wand!

I&#39;m going with Silva here.  Leben is tailor made for Wands brawling style.  Only thing I&#39;m worried about is how much mileage Silva has left.  Is this the fight where he get KOd again and mulls retirement?  Let&#39;s hope not.  Let&#39;s go Wand!

Leaning towards Silva b/c although he has been off a year this isn't the kind of fight where ring rust should have much of an effect. If they stand toe to toe as everyone thinks they will, I give Silva a slight edge in hand speed and a decent edge in power. Also kind of feel like the line will end up w/ Silva about -220 on fight night due to name recogintion.

&#xD;&#xA;Agree... I see this as a very even fight and the only guy that Wandy has K.O.ed in the UFC has been Jardine... Leben packs a punch and can also take one... At &#x2B;150 how do you pass him by..?

I think this about sums it up.

I think Silvas slightly better hand speed should give him the edge here.

If you like Silva @ -175, might as well take the UNDER 2.5 @ -163.

I'd rather give the extra 2.5 minutes in the event in exchange for an insurance policy in what will no doubt be a brawl.
UFC 132 !!!!!!!!

yeah i want wandy to win but he odds are not great, he is a pretty decent size fav and he has not done well in the past 8 fights or whatever plus he has had a super long layoff which cant be good... plus we know they are going to trade huge shots and i think leben can take a hit more than wandy can..
