BISPING vs LEBAN

Just hours after the organization announced a UFC 85 main event of Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves, the UFC also confirmed a main-card bout between Chris Leben (18-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Michael Bisping (15-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC).

MMAjunkie.com mentioned the possibility of the bout on Wednesday, and on Friday evening, the UFC made it official.

UFC 85, which also features a bout between former headliner Rashad Evans and James Irvin (a replacement for injured Chuck Liddell), takes place at the O2 Arena in London, England.

This makes it worth watching. It'll be interesting to see Hughes fight someone other than GSP (or a hasbeen).

id like to ee matt hughs fight kos or fitch i think would be a better fight but dont get me wrong thaigo is a werithy opponint but matt will win

i think alves can win if he can avoid the takedown. alves by tko (if he can keep it standing)or hughes by decision (if he can get it to the ground).

I think hughes will make the takedown, for some reason even if you blive the geezer opposin him may keep it standin, hughes always makes the takedown.
