Chris Leben Update

First, great job by Brian Stann. He never looked better. Many have commented that Chris was very slow and looked off last night. The truth is that Chris was sick. He had a fever and chills when he stepped into the cage. He was vomiting in the lockeroom before the fight, and after a hard warm up he didn't have a drop of sweat. Big heart to fight like that, but he was moving slow motion. He was very sharp in training. He will be back.

it was obvious that something was wrong with him

Well that explains it. Thanks for the info.

TTT for Leben.

 I just hope these beatings don't seriously fuck with his health/brain in the long run. Didn't he pass out after the Bisping fight from the accumulated damage?

Yeah man Chris is taking an epic amount of damage. Eventually someone will have to step in and say "enough is enough".

I wasn't sure if the DUI affected him or he didn't take Stann serious but he certainly looked elsewhere last night. Sucks that he was sick. All the credit to Stann though, he did what he needed to do and looked damn impressive.

Yes, credit Stann for a great performance. I have been working Chris's defense and he looked great in camp. Hands high, very hard to hit. He reverted to instinct last night. Big props to Stann.

Not making excuses- just answering the comments.

Definiely noticed something was off with Chris last night. I look foreward to seeing him come back.

Props to Stann, he looked great.

No contest my ass.

 Chris has posted on the UG before

Don't bother with that douchebag (FRIZZI). Thanks for the info--it was obvious to many of us that there was soemthing going in with chris.

How is his condition now?

I don't like excuses, but chris was definately off last night.......he didn't look like he wanted to be there, just didn't want to let the fans down.

both fighters kick ass. a fighter goes in sick, he's gonna be off. props to Leben for fighting sick but honestly Stann is an animal and he woulda been hard to deal with for Leben at 100%. Great fight Stann, get well Leben

the thing that gets me is people who want to take away from a great win like that.

Lol this site is full of miserable people who's only source of happiness is trying to make people angry.......

Leben's brings it win or lose. He'll be back Phone Post

Hang in there Chris... much respect always and still a huge fan!

And VOTED DOWN anyone disrespecting Burton... do any of you have any idea who your talking to? LOL at the stupid comments....

Burton - Not making excuses-


Yes you are.

You'd think that most MMA fighters are walking around with full blown AIDS, because each time there is such a one sided beat down, the person on the losing end is always near death with an illness just before entering the ring/cage.

What you should have done is posted this

First, great job by Brian Stann. He never looked better.
...He ( Chris ) will be back.


And left it at that.

TTT for the crippler

Get well soon man

leben WILL be back. count on that. but stann is a force. he probably would have won that fight with Leben sick or not. the thing that gets me is when there is a decisive win, someone will inevitably say -- well, my fighter would have won but he had an ingrown toenail that night.
