The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Machida shoots in for a takedown but Leben shows good takedown defense there and keeps this one on the feet. Machida shoots in but no luck this time. Leben throws a head kick that lands with a deafening thwack! The crowd roars as Machida stumbles backwards and falls to the mat. Leben follows into mount!
It looks like Adam Machida has been cut. We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake. The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here. We may be looking at a referee standup if the pace doesn't pick up soon. Leben loads up with a big shot that hurts Machida! He's pulled Leben in close but Leben has postured up and lands more strikes. Can Machida survive? More strikes from Leben and Machida is out! The ref jumps in to save him! Brutal ground and pound!
