Silva earned $60,000 for Fight of the Night (Henderson also picked up a $60,000 bonus) and $60,000 for Submission of the Night. Chris Leben, meanwhile, earned a $60,000 Knockout of the Night bonus for his first-round TKO of Alessio Sakara.

some good money there for leben! he's come a long way since he was crying on the TUF show at that time i didnt see a future for him in MMA at all (and if i remember correctly he thought about quitting)

[MindSpin]

Ever since he was humbled by Silva, I've been a Leben fan.  The guy puts on a great fight and his skills get better every year...

All he needs is to get rocked badly.....then he goes insane...

every fight is a highlight reel waiting to happen
