Chris Leben

Yeah.

Chris Leben.

Ch- and first of all, shout out to Chris Leben.

Do you see him now? He's, the guy's a, he came out through the other...

If-

Yes

... and, uh, it's unfortunate, uh, uh, men- whether it's mentally or just in their personal life or even, you know, very...

This guy, or guys that passed, but, uh, Chris Leben, he'd be a guy that you'd be thinking might have a rough or, you know, he might be have a rough future if you seen him on that show, and he ended i- and he's doing great for himself now.

This is a concept art.

This is Chris.

He's a flow user.

This is his weapon.

That's not good for the brand.

That doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, Brendan Allen was asked about this after his win against Christian Leroy Duncan on Saturday at the Post Fight press conference.

Here's what he had to say.

Uh, all right, listen, uh, by the way, uh, o- one quick...

Did you see that Chris Leben is coming back against Yoshihiro Akiyama?

I did not.

46-year-old Chris Leben, 51-year-old Yoshihiro Akiyama are running it back in Korea.

Wow.

I know.

Thought that was a w- I will say, Chris Leben looks good.

We see him at the Apex.

I, I would think he would, he would not do well.

Prime Anderson Silva, and a lot of old heads are like, "Ugh, pissed." Like this guy just hit on, just beat up Chris Leben and Travis Lutter, dude.

Like Travis Lutter had him full mount to have him beat.

What do you-

... and listen, I, well, okay, you're talking about the judges.

Listen, that's why I say why is Chris Leben, why more guys like Chris Leben scoring the fights? Because that's what I want.

Those are the guys that have actually been in there.

Those are the guys that have actually experienced it.

...

I mean, he knocked out Chris Leben at 185 pounds with a standing elbow on the U- Ultimate Fighter, and then ended up fighting Jose Aldo for the belt 40 pounds south of there.

But this is-

Crazy

... setback for him.

All right, the main card opener, Ivo Badenoski's time, I think, is gonna come.

He loses his O. He's now nine and one, and I'm happy Chris Leben was seemingly the deciding judge, at least verbally, and he had it for Alonzo Menifield.

I thought Menifield, with the thumb bone protruding, deserved to win this fight for more reasons than one, and, uh, just a tremendous career for Zo that history is gonna look back upon fondly.

All right, you got a guys who had substantial...

Chris Leben had a whole career before he got on The Ultimate Fighter.

So when they go to the UFC, they're ready.

And now it's almost like, you know, once again you're getting fighters that, that don't have an, uh, enough under their belt to, to win.
