Chris Leben Versus Yoshihiro Akiyama – UFC 116
Fight Analysis: While I was REALLY hoping to see Wanderlei Silva again, this will definitely be an interesting matche. Leben, while not as tough as Wanderlei, has a similar, brawling style. I think that Akiyama will try to stand with Leben, but when he can’t knock him out he will take him to the ground for a submission. Akiyama is a different class of fighter, IMO, than Leben. Leben DOES have a puncher’s chance, though.
Prediction: Akiyama by Submission
