Prediction: wrong Leben   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Munoz got rocked by Maia.. Now he faces a a vicious striker with a chin of steel whos only been finished twice in 19 UFC fights and those 2 happened to be Elite Strikers. Doesnt look like a happy ending for Munoz this time. Wrong fight for the first non title 5 round fight lol.

I agree with you, Munoz isn't making it out of this fight conscious.

Prediction: correct Muñoz   wrong Decision  

This is a really bad matchup for Munoz. I feel like Munoz could eke out a decision but I can also see Leben winning due to TDD and KO power.

Munoz to use the 5 rounds to take a decision. maybe a late tko but Leben will prob survive.

So they are going to do the 5 round non title main events for sure now?

I don't really understand whats being asked here...So its not a good 5 round fight, because more then likely it's not gonna go 5 rounds?

Prediction: wrong Leben   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I think he's getting at this was a bad idea for Munoz to sign up for this as a 5 rounder.

@Thiago - You really think Munoz can decision Leben? This is a very easy pick imo.

Prediction: correct Muñoz   wrong Decision  

I agree with @Soccer. This is confusing. I think Munoz benefits from the 5 rounds. Leben has the history of gassing and Leben's TDD has been horid lately.

Yeah the longer it goes it favors the wrestler, hopefully Leben can finish him early.

@Danno.. why do you think its so easy Munoz is a beast and a top 5 middleweight. Yes i really think he can take a decision.

Prediction: wrong Leben   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Munoz is highly overrated imo. He's got the wrestling credentials but it hasn't transferred well to MMA at all. His TD accuracy is 18%...that's terrible.

Also, Munoz wrestling is basically = Aaron Simpsons, and Leben sprawl and brawl him to a 2nd rd KO. I also think Leben has the cardio edge, Munoz will gas if he just tries to take and hold Leben down for 5 rounds.

Leben in no way has the cardio edge.  He gasses in every fight.  I love Chris Leben, but he gets Stann'd again here.

Im taking Munoz by decision, i think he will be able to easily take Leban down and will spend most of the fight in Lebans guard
