Noticed this on the Karo blog. Anyone else think this is a weird match? I don't know anything about Starnes outside of TUF, but this seems like an easy win for Leben.

Starnes will definatly go into the fight as the underdog, and I too will pick Leban to win, but we definatly shouldn't underestimate Kalib. He only has one loss in his career, and that is against Okami who is definatly no slouch. Okami holds wins over the likes of Anderson Silva and Sakurai. Kalib himself holds a win over current MW contender Jason Macdonald who just beat Leban. Anything could happen. I don't think it's as lopsided a match as alot of people will try to make it out to be.

I'll be pulling for Starnes. Leben had a shity attitude after his last fight. He gave J-Mac no credit at all. In fact, I hope Kalib makes him cry like a little girl again.

Leben ALWAYS has a shitty attitude...I can't stand that little crazy eye thing he does after his fights and interviews and he points like he's #1...what a douche bag...Starnes all the way.

i dont know much about starns but i think leben has lost some confidence in the octagon even though he always shows the fans his confident cocky side. i think hes always wanted to become the next "huntington beach bad boy" but does not have the fight game to back it up. have some respect & kick a** first or youll just look like an a**. silva said flet out that leben showed no respect & he wanted to punish him for that.

I'll be going for Starnes. I've never really liked Leben that much. I do give him the respect that he makes some of his fights exciting, and that he has a great chin. Besides that, I dont like anything about him.
Hopefully 2nd round submission by Starnes.

Lindland said in an interview a few weeks ago that after the loss Leben has been more focused and really concentrated on training. Leben was beating McDonald until he made the mistake and got caught in the choke; I think he'll come ready for Starnes and get a 3rd round KO

he is intense and goes full speed and leaves it all in the octagon, so some respect but outside he always ups himself & dows his opponent but usually in a disrespectful way. he needs to concentrate more on the fight and less on the interview. another loss and he should hit the road

Kalib is a much better striker than Leben...if you saw the fight with him and Kendall on TUF...he was also winning till Kendall hurt his rib....i was a big fan of Kendall on the show,but when i heard he was going up against Starnes i was like..."good knowing you kendall"...that fight was kickass and im more than sure Kalib would of been TUF champ in his division if he was on Team Ortiz
did you see the Starnes vs. Macdonald fight?
i hadnt seen it till someone posted it on an other forum(ffforgot,,,,i ffforgot the rest)
anyways here it is incase you have not seen it..
_Kalib Starnes vs. Jason Macdonald_

No doubt. Anybody on Shamrock's team was at a HUGE disadvantage.
