UFC 138 will be in the books as a highly underrated fight card with some classic action, whether anyone realizes it or not.

Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz is the main reason behind much of the card’s criticism not because of who both guys are or what they bring, but because few recognize them as big-name draws in MMA.

But as some will say out loud, a good fight is a good fight.

Underneath that explosive encounter of the two MMA veterans and WEC standouts, underappreciated British fighter Brad “One Punch” Pickett brings forth one of the better records (21-4).

He is determined enough to earn himself a title shot against UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, but the often-overlooked 26-1 (1 NC) Brazilian prospect Renan Barao stands in Pickett’s way of earning that shot.

Also, Terry Etim returns at UFC 138 to face winless Edward Faaloloto in a surefire “do or die” fight that could see Faaloloto cut from the promotion.

Cyrille Diabate returns to action against Anthony Perosh and the undefeated Papy Abedi (8-0) takes an early tossing to the wolves in a difficult task against former UFC welterweight title contender Thiago “Pitbull” Alves.

All this, plus Chris Cope vs. Che Mills, Michihiro Omigawa vs. Jason “Shotgun” Young, and a whole lot more as this is UFC 138: Leben vs Munoz live (blog coverage) on Bleacher Report MMA.
