is he saying that chris leben wasn't talented? Thats ridiculous, i thought he should have been on the list.
Some people are still clinging to the Chris Leben hate. Most of us, myself included, have just come to accept the fact that the guy who we all once thought was sort of a joke is actually a very good fighter. Maybe he's still thinking of the Chris Leben who liked to block punches with his face.

He's not saying Leben has no talent, but rather the opposite. The show has gone from talented fighters like Leben to less talented guys like Marlon Sims and now down to the level of Jeremy May.
