This should be a great fight. I'm going with a Leben KO 2nd.

One of the few Bisping supporters here on the playground, I do think that he knows Leben packs a lot of power in his punches so I expect Bisping to work some standup, but then utilize the clinch and maybe go for the takedown + GnP. Bisping is the better striker overall but I will say that Leben has improved a lot.
Go Bisping!! I got Bisping by (T)KO in Rd. 3 or UD.

just because Leben has power and brawls doesnt mean he is a stupid striker.
he is a great striker plain simple, he is smart, he has skill, and knows how and when to use the power.
mark my words
the crippler will cripple the brash Count

blah blah blah to those who are saying Bisping will be out cold if he stands with Leben you have not considered the striking skill difference between the two fighters. Bisping is a far more intelligent striker, Not on the level of Silva I know but Leben just swings for the fences. A good striker can stand with Leben and outstike him 5 to 1. Also Leben has no leg kicks whereas Bisping is an accomplished kickboxer. What I am trying to say is dont count the Count out if he stands and trades. I dont think this fight is going to a decision. Bisping fought a very simliar style fighter to Leben in the UK before he was in the UFC and it ended in a Bisping TKO victory.
I agree Red-Dragon, although Leben is on a whole nother level to Epstein talent-wise:
I can't beleive soooo many people are doubting Bisping in this fight eek:
Strikers are Bisping's bread and butter and no disrespect to Leben but i don't think he will give Bisping as much trouble as Day did!
