who would you rather see fight ??? chrin leben or lyoto machida
chris leben is like a C- level fighter but his fights are always fun to watch that fight with terry martin was great, he doesnt seem to worry about winning rounds hes in it to finish fights
machida B+ or A- level fighter hes smart in his tactics, has great skills but is boring to watch, and finishing a fight doesnt seem to be a concern for him its all about the W...

Leben may not be at A. Silva's level but he is not a C- fighter. I would say a B. Theres a hell of a lot worse guys out there.

leben improved a hell of alot since TUF, i really wanted to see that fight with bisping, but to call him a c- level fighter is laughable, more than this poll u made which makes no sense

If you're in the UFC you're hardly a C level guy unless it's your first fight there.
I'd rather see Machida he really didn't show me anything against Ortiz so I want to see him again.

I find Machida very puzzling, not so much his fighting style, but the way people respond to it. People either hate his style with a passion and say it's extremely boring or people jock him way too much and claim he's the best thing since Fedor.
I think that Machida is a perfect example of how a fighter should conduct themselves, but this is America, and bullsh*t hype is the name of the game. His respectful demeanor and refusal to get involved in sh*t talking and other antics is very honorable, but at the same time it is and will cost him money, opportunities and fans in this country.
With all of that said, I definitely like Machida, but he is far from exciting in my book. Although if you watch his older fights they are more exciting than his recent bouts.

I like Machida because of his style and technique...
Leben kinda closes his eyes and just starts swinging, which is what the majority of the mob wants to see. Which I don't understand why they pay several hundred dollars when they can go to www.youtube.com ... But that's beside the point.
I vote Machida.

Yes, it was a lame trolling attempt.

Many A level fighters if you consider Liddell a brawler.

It looks like most of Machida's nuthugging threads are more on the troll side (on this site), but here's one that's actually pretty intelligent (the first post anyway).

the fact is, most MMA n00bs are like little girls. If a fighter doesn't have a TUF story line to follow, they aren't interested. They dismiss the fighter and say hes boring. But as soon as they start winning a couple fights and hes not going anywhere, all of a sudden hes an awesome fighter to watch. People fit him in the story and then all of a sudden it doesn't matter if he doesn't speak english, they just care that nobody can beat him. so i'll just sit back and see how it plays out.
