Title: WAND OUT LEBEN IN AT UFC116
Post by: mcmainiac on June 22, 2010, 04:42:08 PM
According to mma weekly Wandy is now out of his UFC 116 bout versus Akiyama and will be replaced by Chris Leben. I can't remember where I read it , but apparently he broke some ribs in training. Too bad I would prefer Wand over Leben any day, but still should be a good fight. Anyhow, link to article is below.

Leben is a bad ass replacement, I actually think he's got an excellent chance to pull off the win.  He's got a bad ass chin and he should still be in pretty good shape.  He would just have to worry about Akiyama's judo, but if Simpson couldn't hold him down I don't think Akiyama can.  Leben will land his left eventually, Akiyama spent most of his camp preparing for an orthadox muay thai fighter, he's really only got one good week of training left since the last week is spent tapering down for just about everybody.
