Neither fighter appears to be feeling well today.
Chris Leben looks like he has been waiting for this fight forever.
Robbie Lawler is beating himself up in the corner before the fight begins, smacking himself in the face, body and legs to get ready for his scrap.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage
A pretty fair match today. I can't say who will be the one who will be raising his fist after the match.
The referee of the bout is Herb Dean.

Leben tried hard, but Lawler was just too Lawler for him. Leben is moving in the right direction though probably, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against other high level fighters. This was kinda a wolf toss. OR WAS IT? I don't know. But what I do know is that both fighters are looking rather pale today.
