Fight of the Night — Chris Lytle vs. Paul Taylor
The case for Michael Bisping at UFC 89 vs Chris Leben
Superior Striking
Leben has the power edge, but the superior striking technique belong to Bisping. This fight will likely to stay on the feet and that favors Bisping.
Cardio
Bisping is the ultra aggressive type that doesn’t really wane as the fight goes on. He remains the aggressor in the fight end in the late stages.
Sprawl and Defense
Bisping will be tough to take down and just as difficult to hold down if planted on the mat.
Home field advantage
Not a big issue, but being in England will be more motivation for Bisping, not that he needs any.
