Maybe slightly overlooked in these parts, due to TTech vs. A&M, BU vs OSU, Texas vs Mizzou, and back east due to PSU vs Michigan, and Phils vs. Dodgers, and BoSox vs Rays is UFC 89: Mike "The Count" Bisping vs Chris Leben, a middleweight MMA bout this Saturday on Spike TV. If I'm not flippin' back and forth between games and this one, I'll Tivo the sombich fo' sho. I think the Count and the only man to beat him (split decision UFC 78), heavyweight Rashard Evans, are the best MMAers in the world right now. There is, however, no denying the emotional fury of the volatile Leben. Sober for three months (the longest period in his life since age 13), Leben's moment of clarity couldn't have come at a better time. Upsets happen frequently in MMA, so be on the lookout here. Bisping is good, real good, and Leben is juiced. It'll be better than the Kimbo Slice debacle, without question.
