Riding a three fight winning streak, Chris Leben is set for a bout with Brian Stann at UFC 125 on January 1, 2011. The former Ultimate Fighter contestant is definitely questioning the UFC’s choice in opponent as he feels he deserves a bigger named opponent.
“I was a little bit surprised. Akiyama gets to go fight Bisping, and I get Brian Stann. So, you know, it was a little bit tough. If he wins it builds him up, and if I win that’s four wins in a row for me, and then who knows? Sometimes they’ll do things and I don’t have a clue why they did them, to be honest with you. Hopefully I go out and I crush Brian Stann and I get in their (UFC’s) ear a little more about it, and some things will happen.”
