"I think he’s basically a little slower version of the guy I just fought (Aaron Simpson)," said the 29-year old Leben of Akiyama. "He’s an awesome judo player, he’s got fast kicks, but I don’t think he’s got near the wrestling that Aaron Simpson has and I don’t think he’s got knockout power. But it’s a great fight and an opportunity I couldn’t pass up."

Leben also has pretty underated jits. I’ll favor Sexyama to take a decision though.
"I don't care, hit him with your groin!"
If Akiyama can't hold him down he's gonna have problems,
I sure he’ll out point him but if he gets into a bunch of exchanges with Leben he’s gonna have a rough night. I really don’t know that much about Akiyama the Belcher fight was the only one i’ve seen, if comes out against Leben like he did Belcher he’s gonna loose.
