"The Crippler" weighs-in on his upcoming opponent, Alessio Sakara, at UFC 82: "Pride of a Champion" on March 1 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. This is the first fight on Leben's new contract, according to the interview. There was some speculation that he would bolt from the organization. He is now on the 25/25 pay scale rather than the 10/10 ($25,000 to show, $25,000 to win). Leben did not reveal the length of the contract.
