UFC #138: LIVE Coverage of the UFC Middleweight Bout: Chris Leben vs Mark Munoz, only on SKY ARENA (SKY Channel 038) on Sunday November 6.
SKY ARENA brings you exclusive coverage of UFC #138 Middleweight bout between Chris Leben and Mark Munoz LIVE, Sunday November 6 at 9am replaying at 8.30pm the same evening
UFC #138 features a middleweight mash-up between surging division contenders Chris Leben and Mark Munoz, who will throw hands in the first five-round non-title fight main event in UFC history. Should the fight actually get out of the third round, neither fighter has ever fought in a fourth or fifth round in their career.
Leben was pounded out by Brian Stann at UFC #125 earlier this year to bring a halt to his three-fight win streak, one that included impressive stoppages over Aaron Simpson and Yoshihiro Akiyama back in 2010. Leben rebounded by dimming the lights for Wanderlei Silva at UFC #132 earlier this month with a vicious first round knockout, one that could easily propel him to the front of the 185-pound pack if he's able to replicate that performance on November 6.
But don't expect Munoz to make it easy for him. "The Philippine Wrecking Machine" continued to inch closer to a middleweight title shot after overcoming the improved striking of Demian Maia, who took Munoz to the scorecards before losing a close unanimous decision back on June 11. The former collegiate wrestling standout has just one loss as a 185-pounder, a razor-thin split decision to Yushin Okami at UFC on Versus 2 last August. Also banging it out in Birmingham are bantamweight brawlers Brad "One Punch" Pickett and Renan "The Baron" Barão while UFC lightweight veteran "Relentless" Paul Taylor throws hands opposite Anthony "The Assassin" Njokuani.
UFC #138: The Middleweight Bout: Chris Leben vs Mark Munoz is available to all SKY domestic Subscribers for $24.99 and will air LIVE on SKY ARENA (SKY Channel 038) Sunday 6th November at 9am, repeating that evening at 8.30pm.
