I think that since Swick beat The Crow, his next fight should be with Rich. That way, hes beaten the last person to fight for the title and then he would have beaten the last title holder (if he were to beat Rich). I dont think that anyone could argue that he wouldnt deserve his title shot at that point.
As for Leban / Rich fighting, I dont think Rich would have that much trouble other than the fight going into the 3rd round maybe due to Lebans chin. Silva exposed one of Lebans biggest weaknesses...his footwork and his inability to deal with a reach disadvantage. Those are two things Rich would have over Leban and like someone posted earlier, Rich wont let the fight degrade into a mindless brawl. I think Rich would dispose of Leban in convincing fashion.
