This is one of the fights that I was really looking forward to. Heavy handers Chris Leben takes on Terry Martin. Not only did Terry Martin enter the ring looking trim, but Chris the Crippler Leben came out looking trim as well. In fact, he looks the most muscular and trim that I’ve ever seen him. He’s been training and helping run an MMA School out in Hawaii. Not only did Leben look physically healthier, but his style has much improved. He has greatly slowed down his pace to conserve energy – no longer looking for that highlight knock out.
Both fighter exchanges some punches in the first, Leben utilized a lot of inside leg kicks. This continued into the second, where Leben gets a triangle, but does not finish Martin. Going into the third but men look exhausted. Leben must have tired out from his triangle attempt and exchanges slow punches with Martin. Both men look like they’re ready to fall over from exhaustion. Late in the third Martin lands a huge right almost putting Leben on the mat, after saying “What’s up, come get some more”, Leben comes in with agression, lands a few punches and Chris ends the fight with a huge highlight reel left hook knocking Terry out cold.
