Chris Leben looks to clear up DUI charge prior to UFC 85

Thanks for clearing this up Mania. Reports on other sites made it look like he was pulled over & caught over the limit in the past two days.

Man, I hope I don’t have to go to England any time soon. I got a dui warrant in MASS. LOL doesn’t matter, he’s gonna lose in England anyways…right mike!! lol

Leben will foot stomp you for doubting his POWER! I hope he kills the Count and the MMA will have one less a$$hole in the sport.

This will be a good fight, straight stand up. I think Bisbing will knock him out in the 1st round though, out of the two Bisbing is more ruthless with his stand up, Lebens got no chance

there is no doubt that either one of these guys has awesome standup. it has been proven time and time again! bisping has great stikes with one of the best knees in the game . on the other hand leben is known for his devastating left hand! bisping has never been knocked out to my knowlage however leben has been rocked(anderson silva jabs!) i think this fight will be a true test to both fighters. as an end result i think bisping will pull it off but i think it will be a great fight until the end!

“his decision to turn himself in shows his growth "spiritually and mentally" as a fighter and person.”

…um, if this were the case, wouldn’t he have turned himself in when he was charged? I agree he has come a long way and I’m glad this isn’t a recent incident, but why did it take so long?

Like the title of the childrens book, “Everybody Poops.”
We all make mistakes. But some people never learn from them. The difference between Champs and Chumps is the ability to persevere and in fact, enhance their capabilies through adversity.
I haven’t warmed up to Leben yet, but I do respect his attempts to improve, in his life, as well as inside the cage.
Chris Leben, I really love to hate this guy.
Michael Bisbing, I just hate the guy.
Wanna see Leben continue his run and eventually get a rematch with Anderson Silva.
Chris is evolving into a pretty good all-round fighter.
He seems to have learned that you can’t just expect to beat the hell out of everyone and you have to be prepared to WIN in other ways.

Jesus…he must of pissed on the officers car for being a strange brew type of guy!

Hope Leben kicks Bisping’s arse.

Shees! he must of pee’d on the offcers squad car for being a strange brew type of guy!

U heard it hear first. the new refoced chris leben will beat michael bisbing and at one point will be the middleweight champion. doesnt matter that silva destroyed him before. unlike franklin, leben is not the same fighter. with some more fights and time, this guy will be a champion. he’s too refocused and committed not too!!!

good for him, although he probably should have done this before without the incentive.

ALL the English will say Bisping will win bla bla, we’ll see.

I look at his pix look like f*cked up? Did Chris smoke crack or Methamphetamine instead of DUI?

Cris has come along way and i didn’t like the guy in the begining but you gotta love him now. Hes the guy that makes you want to watch cause you never now when hes going to throw the one that ends the fight. Bisbing just talks way to much.

there is no way that bisbing will knock out
leben. leben by knock out in first round. unless mike
decides not to stand with him then leben by decision.
i cant wait for everyone to see that bisbing is a shit
fighter and was built up by piss poor fighters

It wasn’t a pee,
It was “just a spritz”
Another good Leben quote…
“Canada is like your attic, you know it’s up there, but no one goes there.”

I hope Leben wins but if the fight goes long, Bisping will probably pull off the decision.

What does the ufc see in this guy loser loser loser if it wasnt for london would he still be on the run?

Scouser, Wowie, Kahaluu caz!, Bobby O’shea, Talkman, its BISPING not BISBING.

Now this is a kid who wants to fight. I’m impressed by his guts to take care of business and sit in jail so he can attend UFC 85. He could have said no to going to England and waited for his next fight in the U.S. I will be cheering for him for sure now.

This sucks, at least he is doing the right thing to prove he really does want to fight. So he just flew Oregon after getting this D.U.I.? Hope they don’t take any further actions against him.

TUF celebrity mog shots.
Well Atleast he doesn’t look drunk, or coked up like Lindsey Lohan
I hope leben kicks the counts arse !

Gotta laugh at anyone who thinks this is just a “minor” issue. Having to sit in jail for a week and a half before a fight when there are only 5 weeks left is a major problem. Leben will have to spend another week just getting back in shape when he gets out of there. Bisping is still in shape from his last fight. Bisping will get to train without interruptions AND he has the home advantage because the fight is in England. I’m not attacking Leben for not clearing this up earlier, but there’s no question that Leben will lose a lot of momentum because of it.

Bisping will end this fight in the first round.

So after Leben leaves Bisping KO’d in the cage will he consider a move to Welterweight.

UFC 94 Bisping vs. Serra.

Was this DUI before or after the video of him getting punched in the face at that party?
Does anyone have the link to that video any more? Classic!! After watching that, tell me Leben doesn’t have a chin!
I think Leben’s best chance in this fight is to get punched in the face for the first round until he sees two Bispings then knock them both out! Dude can scrap and Bisping hasn’t fought a scrapper as good as Leben.
War Leben.

I’m just glad that the T.Jay was able to post the truth about this story.
Chris is continuing to grow as a man, a fighter, and a teacher. The head coach at my school, he has helped to hone a lot of the raw Hawaii talent into the some of the most succesful competitiors on the Hawaii MMA circuit.
Having been on deployment during the first season of T.U.F. I only caught high-lights of the antics that you all are still raving about.
To meet and see the real Chris Leben, I urge you all to drop in and take or just watch Chris coach a class at ICON fitness.

with just under 6 weeks to the fight! 8-10 days in jail isn’t the ideal preperation! but fair play for handing himself in!

I fancy Bisping on this one! he’s 6ft2 he’ll use the jap to good effect! this one won’t hit the ground!

Unanamous decision in favour of the Count!

This is why mma mania is better then some of these other sites that don’t even get the facts right. I’m glad Leben wised up in time so he can be ready to put the hurt on Bisping. I’m looking for Leben to win this by KO in the second round. Screw Sherdog “walk hard” Mania.

Okay, why are my comments posting twice?

I believe he’s denied bail now, because he skipped probation.

Bisping will win! he is in his proper weight division! he will not be stopped!

Some fans are using this as a excuse not to give Bisping credit if he wins already.

He got scared and what a good place to hide.LOL

chefdaddy – More should think like you! Be ready to dish out the credit.

if bisping wins will any of you hold your hands up and say bisping is a better fighter than you thought or will you just make up another excuse and put him down as a fighter

i personally see him beating franklin but henderson is a tough 1 lol well we will just have to wait and see i suppose lol
