Munoz destroys Leben

Leben was given a horrendous battering in Birmingham from the very start as Munoz controlled the fight from the outset.

Leben suffered a big cut over his left eye and between the second and third rounds the fighter's corner decided to stop the fight.

Munoz has now targeted UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva after the technical knock-out.

"I pay my dues in this weight class and I think I deserve a title shot," Munoz said.

"Anderson Silva is by far the best pound-for-pound fighter. I give him all the respect and honor, but I think I deserve a title shot right now.

"I consider him a friend, but right now I'd love to get a title shot."
