thats the second fighter of the night that lost the fight for himself, i know this fight was close unlike the quarry fight but he had leben rocked and chose to taunt instead of fight, i cant believe this, what a huge mistake.

Yea that was a weird finish, and martin had all the chance in the world to win this fight and he didn't. Gassed too early, but at least another fighter's weakness has been exposed so the UFC can't prop them up on some imaginary throne.
BUT, no credit taken away from Leben, he looked suprisingly calm and technical. He looked like a changed man.

Hey Terry.... finish your opponent next time before you taunt. He'll regret that one.
I have stated that Martin should be in line for a title shot if he got by Leben tonight. I have changed my mind. Before he got KO'ed, I was going to post that he is not ready for Anderson Silva. Anderson would submit him or TKO him. Hopefully Martin learns from this experience.
Leben looked improved tonight. Got to give him props for his instincts and heart.

I'm not letting anybody else influence my picks...
someone told me Sakaras technical power punches would destroy houston alexanders wild punches so I picked sakara and looked what happened?
I had chris leban winning by KO but I looked at MMA playground UFN disscussion and you ALL had Leban getitng his butt whooped so I changed it last night!!!
WAR ON INFLUENCING PICKS!!!!
But nevertheless that was a decent fight. I was like YES! Leben is going to get KTFO!! Then all the sudden DAMMIT!!! Terry goe down lol
good fight, great improved JJ by Leban, Martin should work on his cardio though because that played a decent part of him getting KO'd...
good start of the ngiht...The Main event should be straight fire though!!!

Leben coming forward in a dazed state and getting the KO is one of the most surreal fight moments ever. Never thought I'd see that. TS is right, that taunt was very stupid. Wasted a shot to finish his opponent. Hope they resign Leben, it looks like he's improving.

definately not taking anything away from leben, he won the first two rounds imo and showed a lot of improvement in the stand up, much more polished.

Martin deserved it, he probably didn't train very hard for this fight because he was gassed by the end of the 1st round. Leben looked much better in this fight but he also gassed a bit as well.
I hate it when two fighters gas, it is so damn boring to watch sometimes. When they clinched, it looked like both fighters collapsed from exhaustion than anything and Terry just happened to land on top.

Terry Martin got two quick wins and he became cocky. He seemed gassed after the first round and was swinging wildly in the third round. He's a young fighter and has a lot to learn.

it seems like everybody wants to see that match. i would have said martin would win that bout but after tonight i noticed that he is like a straight boxer and cannot defend leg kicks. if cote can keep the pressure on and keep his cardio up he would no doubt take that fight.

Terry was a mess, but this will be a great learning experience for him. Don't taunt just because you rock an opponent. He was still standing, which means he can still throw down. In this case, I am glad he had to learn it the hard way because he won't do it again.

I'm like so happy that I picked all the TUF fighters to win. I was hoping Terry would loose so he would see that he wasn't going to run through everyone in the middle weight division.
