The fight between Dan Henderson and Shogun Rua at this past weekend's UFC 139 will go down as one of the greatest fights in MMA history.

The Roller Coaster Ride For Carlos Condit Continues

After being promoted to a title fight with GSP, and subsequently being bumped from that in favor of a Diaz/GSP match up, it now looks like Carlos Condit will be meeting Josh Koscheck at UFC 143. I think this is a better match up for Condit, but not by much. Koscheck's wrestling will be the factor in this fight. If Condit can stop his takedowns (I don't think he can), he has a good chance of winning a stand up war.

UFC 138: Main Event Result

The Mark Munoz/Chris Leben fight turned out to be a bloody mess. The fight opened just as expected with each fighter cautiously judging their distance. Midway through the round, the fighters started exchanging, with Leben swinging for the fences. He connected a couple of times, but never had Munoz in any trouble. He did however take Munoz down on multiple occasions which was a real surprise. When the 2nd round started, it was apparent that Leben was gassed. Munoz exploited that by taking Leben down and landing some huge shots from the top. Those shots were the beginning of the end for Leben. One of them cut him, and a minute later he was covered in blood. Munoz used his wrestling to control Leben, all the while dropping bombs. The round ended with both fighters walking to their respective corners. Half way through the break, Leben confirmed that he couldn't see out of the eye with the cut, and the referee stopped the fight. Munoz got the 2nd TKO victory.

UFC 138: Main Event Prediction

I don't really think the Chris Leben/Mark Munoz fight is a fair match up. I don't see how Leben can win this fight. Leben has a lot of hype coming into this fight, but he is too predictable. Leben thrives during a slugfest, and I highly doubt that Munoz will engage in one.Munoz is a great wrestler, who even acts as a wrestling coach at Black House from time to time.  Munoz is going out-wrestle Leben, and ground-and-pound his way to a victory. I'm calling a 2nd round victory for Mark Munoz via referee stoppage.
