Retirement Fight! Chris Leben vs. Quentin Henry | KnuckleMania

[@BKFC]

You asked for it, you got it! Here is Chris Leben's FINAL professional fight! Drop Chris a huge LIKE for an amazing career!

[@TheDrewgutterz]

What a champion. Watched all of his fights. Glad to see he goes out on top

[@JefeDeJefes8484]

Chris is a LEGEND. Thanks BKF!

[@calvinh.8882]

The fight where Henry lied about being poked in the eye. For those that don't think he lied, go watch the replay so you can see that the first thing he did was reach up and touch the top of his eye and look at his hand to see if there was blood. He thought he got his sh** busted open so he fell down and acted like a BIOOOOOCH. LOL.

[@faithlessberserker5921]

Are we going to get another knuckle up episode tomorrow?

How the f**k do they give Henry 5 mins to recover after a punch/knuckle to the eye?! No poke, no 5 mins!! Super glad Leben won. Thanks for entertaining us over the years young man. Absolute warrior!👊🏻

[@largocharles8729]

Yeah and also 5 minutes for leben to recover too. Like dont complain man, they need that time to know if the damage on the eye is serious or not so they can decide to stop or continue the fight.

[@shandog7623]

@@largocharles8729 he went down due to an injury caused from a punch. He wasn't entitled to 5 mins. The ref should've restarted the fight immediately after the replay and if Henry couldn't fight ruled it a tko. Leben got the result anyway so all good I guess.

[@largocharles8729]

@@shandog7623 he wasnt entitled for it but it was the doctors or whoever who is checking on him entitled to take as much tike they have to check and know whether the injury is serious or not. Like do yall even think the fighter has the control over the time on which the doctors will check on him? No. Its like saying that the doctors should rush what they are doing so that it wont give any advantages to the fighter, then why the fighter is seriously injured because of that, who yall gonna blame? Duh

@@shandog7623 let me quote things from your own comment then okay? "He went down due to an injury cause from a punch, HE wasnt ENTITLED to 5 mins." I honestly dunno what restarted the fight means after the replay means, im kinda dumb. But when you said that the figher is not entitled for the 5 mins is right but its like your blaming him because the doctors or whoever who is checking on him was doing their stuff for 5 mins. Thats my point, other than that i dont really know much and i wont argue on it cause i have the slightest knowledge about stuff thats on it.

[@TimShaw81]

I've watched Leben since he made it to the big leagues on the Ultimate Fighter so I knew once he signed to BKFC every fight he fought in would be an straight up barn burner! It's been absolute pleasure seeing him compete and I wish him a happy retirement. He's earned it and then some!

[@AuditAmplifier]

It's crazy...🤦

[@crackerjack9320]

LeBen is an icon!

[@michaelmidax8108]

And he still lost, lol. I agree there should be for eye pokes but 5 minutes is way too much time. Maybe a minute and a half to two minutes but 5 really takes momentum out the fight and helps the fighter saying they've been poked in the eye. Which would cause many fighters to use it as a hailmary attempt to change/swing the fight to their own favor. All you'd have to do is hide your eye in the clinch wait for your opponent to try to punch the side you're covering...BOOM, you get 5 minutes to take the wind out of the sails for the other guy and giving you a chance. (Dusts off palms) Easy. About a minute and a half to two minutes is better. Hell, look a Henry I'm this fight. When it was time to start the match back up he dives forward for Chris. Thought ya g.d damn eye was hurt, bru. Lol

a problem i've heard from several fighters is that the wraps are causing issues and damaging eyes. the fabric is scratchy and stiff and with the way the hands are wrapped when punches come from certain angles the material can scratch the cornea. i'm not sure if its the case in this one but i've seen/heard of a few other fights from this organization where the wraps damaged the eye
