Leben would never ever ever never ever be cut. Dana thinks of him as a son, at least that's the impression I've gotten over the years hearing Dana talk about him. I think 4 or 5 losses in a row and Dana wouldn't give him anymore bouts and gives him a company position. But he's not gonna cut the guy and force him to go fight in a regional promotion and end up with boxers dementia. 

+ Leben wins this fight 1st round KO. He can eat whatever Uriah lands on him, if Hall even feels like punching someone that particular day, and get inside to drop him with a power punch.

I like this fight , Hall doesnt have to worry about getting taken down , and Leben gets to face someone as mentally unstable as him. I hope Leben wins because I like him but somehow I think this fight was made to give Hall some confidence back by beating a vet.

I dont think either guy gets cut with a loss. I agree with Cal about Leben and I think the UFC spent so much time hyping Hall up on TUF to just let him go to Bellator or WSOF and get ratings with his exciting style. Bellator will have no problem feeding him cans just to get a highlight KO on spike.

I think Hall gets cut if he looses this one, he hasn´t looked good or exciting. Leben can loose 5 more straight and won´t get cut. sadly I think Leben can loose this one, he hasn´t looked like his usual self and his stone chin already shows some wear and tear, if Uriah fights smart he takes this, and I think he would´ve neve defeated a prime Leben

I'd like to think Leben should win this, but he's looked so horrid in his last couple of fights I don't think I can pick him.  

If the Leben that fought Wanderlei and Akiyama happens to show up, Hall will get knocked out, but I'm not sure Leben can bring that kind of intensity anymore.

Both these guys have yet to show people why they should remain on the rostor. Leban is done, and Hall had a very nice kick during TUF over a bum, and has lost 2 straight. Hype train derailed....

^^with that I agree. I think Leben can stay a while longer, although if he keeps geting Ko´d I rather see him retire, right now he is on the Iceman path

If Hall can't beat Leben then he needs to seriously consider a career change.

I think Chris can get the KO here, but if Hall is smart he'll take this to the floor Derek Brunson style. Weird match up...If Leben wasn't "washed up" and Hall was more exciting, this could be fight of the night...both guys are in 2 different places then they should be. I don't like this fight right now.

Interesting match-up.  

Chris Leben - Never that impressed since the fatherless bastard got laid and prayed on by Koscheck in the first TUF.  Chris wrestled in HS but never brings a versatile style to his fights.  Relies on punches.

Uriah Hall - Electrified all with his high kicks on his TUF.  Looked like a killer.  But has disappointed since.

Still, there are some UFC guys that will likely not be cut.  Those with exciting striking styles.  Wanderlei, Leben, Hector Lombard, Overeem.  For these guys, the normal rules don't seem to apply because they bring excitement, drama and fun to the Octagon.  I honestly believe that cutting any of them would make Dana's balls hurt.

I agree.  It became the most famous line from the show.

Leben's Chin isn't near what it use to be. He's been in too many wars, taken a few too many shots to the head, and had a few too chemical dependancies. Hall should be able to win this fight if he can get his head out of his ass and actually try to win fights. His mental block is tiresome and he needs to get over it.

i'm hoping that since Hall obviously has his back against the wall with this fight that his abilities finally come out. I absolutely love Leben but this might turn out to be one of those "passing the torch" kind of fights for exciting strikers. If that doesn't happen, this fight will probably suck and end up with a decision win for Leben.
