No way they're having this fight before Swick gets his title shot. Leben is never going to be champ and it's unlikely he'll even have a title shot. Why take a chance on him unseating Swick (no matter how unlikely)?

Leben's major value to the UFC now is his win over Swick. Leben/Swick II is a good, saleable fight. It will happen, and if it's entertaining and both fighters are still around, maybe they'll even do the rubber match.
