UFC 89: Bisping vs Leben

By:Guido

Micheal Bisping and Chris Leben will headline this Saturday's free card on Spike TV.
Due to the show being in Birmingham, England, Spike will air the event via tape delay. The fight card also features Chris Lytle, Sokoudjou, Keith Jardine, Brandon Vera, and Marcus Davis.

Chris "Lights-Out" Lytle vs. Paul Taylor
Guido picks: Lytle. Gotta go with the "Great Bleeder".
Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis vs. Paul Kelly
Guido picks: Davis. He has an incredibly stupid nickname but he hits hard.
Sokoudjou vs. Luis Cane
Guido picks: Sokoudjou. Soko keeps getting better and better. It helps that he looks like the Predator alien.
Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine vs. Brandon "The Truth" Vera
Guido picks: Jardine. Jardine is better than a lot of people think. Have we already forgotten that he knocked out Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffen?
Micheal "The Count" Bisping vs. Chris "The Crippler" Leben
Guido picks: Bisping. The count has been a new man since moving down to middleweight but Leben should be his toughest challenge yet. The English crowd should give their TUF 3 champion a thundering ovation. Leben should put on a strong showing as he tries to climb back to the top of the middleweight division.

*Notes: Bisping vs. Leben was originally scheduled for UFC 85. However, the fight was pushed back when Leben got a DUI and would have been in jail when the fight was to take place....Thiago Silva was scheduled to fight Lyoto Machida but the fight was cancelled when Silva suffered a back injury during training.
