UFC 132 fight card features a brawl on the main card
For those of you who are interested in a UFC fight that features great skill and strategy, look elsewhere. For those of you who are looking for a fight that features two beasts throwing fists in the octagon like they were fighting for their lives, then Silva vs. Leben is the fight for you.
This contest is going to be one of the ages. Part of the appeal to this fight is the fact that it could go either way. You could have a first round knock out, which is always a possibility, or you could have a decision that leaves both men battered and bruised. It sounds like a marketing plow to talk about what an epic battle it’s going to be, but when you have guys who rely on brute strength it’s exactly what you get.

The smart money is on Silva in this contest. These guys don’t need as long as boxers to train and recover, but a little extra rest would certainly help him as he’s about to get into a fast paces, high energy throw down.
Silva is a great fighter, and he is just too good to lose to Leben. This will be entertaining, but ultimately, disheartening to Leben.
