Franklin is off the UFC 133 card...Leben/Kos is an interesting fight if Kos used his wrestling I'd take him, but he doesn't like to use it in fights!!! Except against Paul Daley!!!

i wonder who leben would want. cung le or josh koscheck? yes, bader should take the fight with franklin. if bader loses to two elderly mma fighters (relatively (ortiz and franklin) speaking) he will drop like a rock in the rankings.

Leben vs Kos would be a pretty good fight. Kos would probably be stupid and not use his wrestling and try to strike with Leben. Kos in my opinion should make the move to mw and stay there.

I wouldnt mind seeing leban/Kos and Bader/Franklin fight but I think Bader and Kos would both win with thier wrestling, I would rather see them matched up elsewhere with Leban and Franklin fighting strikers

Cung Le is trying to sign onto fight Leben at 138. If Kos moves t MW he will prb fight Bonnar because they wanted to first move to fight eachother so i see it happeneing eventually.

Yeah Kos and Bonnar won't fight unless it's a street fight. Bader should fight Franklin so I have some time to use the restroom and get some food.

I really wouldn't be interested Bader/Franklin, and Koscheck is an ******* hopefully Leben KO's him.

I don't see how people wouldn't be into a Franklin/Bader fight...it'd be a great fight for them at this point...Bader needs to right his ship now and Ace is wanting to make one final run in his career...this fight derails one of them possibly for good

Bader is still not medically cleared so he cant take the fight with Franklin hence why Franklin was pulled..

I don't think Koscheck will be anywhere near as effective in middleweight.

I don't wanna see Kos at MW unless it is a perm move.  Franklin/Bader would be a good fight, but imo it doesn't make sense.

Kos at MW makes no sense at all, he was a small WW. I'd really like to know who Rich is going to fight now.... I don't think Bader deserves his name, i'd pit Bader vs Matyushenko.

I really don't understand why Kos would come back for one fight at MW and then drop back down. Just get in shape and fight WW.
