What a kick ass fight last night between Leben and Florian, Leben was beating the hell out of him and then bang a perfect elbow to the face and the fight is swung around and Florian wins that was a great fight

I screwed up and taped the wrong channel last night. So I missed out on most of Raw and all of the Ultimate Fighter.

I just read the synopsis, and it sounds like a good show. There are replays Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I'll make an effort to catch one of them.

Yeah Leben should have taken that fight for sure. Florian looked way too timid in attacking and Leben took full advantage, dominating the first round and the early part of the second. I don't think I've ever seen a better placed elbow though, and Florian looked like a mess after.

Here's to hoping Forrest can fight and that NASTY eyebrow cut heals enough in time.

Koscheck vs. Diego next week! I'm so excited IMO Diego is the best fighter on the show and Koscheck isn't far behind.

[mercutio80]

I caught the replay and thought is was a pretty good fight. I wish they had let the match go on a little longer, though.

[Riley G]

I thought it was a great fight, and the decision was right on the money in my eyes.

Really good fight between Diego and Koscheck. My only problem was with the decision. Like Diego said, it should have been unanimous. Sure, Koscheck had a few takedowns, but he did nothing with them. Diego escaped all of Josh's takedowns and delivered a sh*tload of damage. He also got close to locking on a few submissions, including one which he did lock on at the end of the first round, which would have choked out Koscheck, had the round not ended.

I think this fight clearly showed that Diego is the best fighter in the middleweight division.

Next week should be great with two fights. I'm praying Forrest can fight, because I totally despise Bobby.

EDIT: I also think it's important to note that Koscheck has improved a lot since his fight with Leben. He showed he can take quite a beating, and his strikes have improved. He still needs to learn to work his opponent on the mat though.

Man, I really wanted to coment on last night's show, but NF'nS hit all of points right on the money.

I guess I should just say: READ THE ABOVE POST.

I really don't think the Diego/Kenny fight will last long. Diego is too powerful on the ground and he's proved he can strike as well. Kenny landed a lucky, but powerful, elbow against Chris, but I have to admit that Diego would have eaten Chris alive. As much as I may not like Diego's personality, he is an awesome fighter. I think he's going to eat Kenny alive.

I just want to say how great it is to see Koscheck beat-up and off the show. If only Bobby were off too (Of course, these two guys could be the collest guys in thew world. We have to go with how they are given to us on the show. I remember hateing Lebin, then liking him, then missing him and glad to see him go).

[Riley G]

You got to remember that all the times Koscheck escaped Deigo's submissions he got points on the judges cards. Koscheck scoring the takedowns got him points not to mention he scored some bombs. However Diego did win the fight but I don't think it should of been unanimous as much as I don't like the person Koscheck he didn't get completely dominated.

Kenny Florian is going to be destoryed by Deigo. He better hope for a lucky knockout punch or a repeat of what he did to Leben.

[NewFnShow]

Yeah, I'm really expecting Diego to make really quick work of Kenny. Kenny is tough, but Diego is just really damn good, and has much more experience.

[TheRick]

I really don't have anything else to add, but I predict a sub two minute match when Diego takes on Kenny. I can't wait to see who the UFC decides to put in front of Diego when he gets to compete in his first UFC match.

As for the light heavyweights I'd like to say that Forrest is going to win, but that's dependent on if he can actually fight or not. Personally I find the middleweights much more entertaining anyway, so this division isn't quite as important to me.

[IWSfan4life]

That fight with Diego and Koscheck kicked ass. I really wanted to see Koscheck do something with his takedowns, as he never tried to improve position or throw any shots when he had the chance. I love all the attempted key locks and triangle chokes Diego tried upon escaping Koschecks holds.

Diego is clearly the best in his class and deserves that contract. Kenny is way too timid and although he's a good fighter, he seems wayyy outmatched by Diego here.

As Show said, I really hope Forrest can fight, becuase I also hate Bobby. I don't like that guy who stole everyone's stuff either, he's a snake.

I'm actually curious as to how well Sam and Chris can fight. They're the only two left who haven't had a fight yet, so who knows. Sam may be an ass, but as far as we know he could be the best light heavyweight fighter on the show.

[IWSfan4life]

True, but I still wanna see Sam get his ass kicked ;D

Last night's show was good.

The first fight between Sam and Forrest was kinda boring a lot of dancing around and a few good shots in the first round and then Forrest puts him on his ass in the next round. I'm so happy it was Forrest that fought and not Bobby.

The next fight was Mike Swick vs. Stephan Bonner and it was a great fight it looked like Swick was going to make it through the first round just barely but then the armbar came and he was screwed.

My Predictions for the Season Finale:

Stephan Bonner def. Forrest Griffen by Decision
Diego Sanchez def. Kenny Florian by Submission
Rich Frankling def. Ken Shamrock by KO
