    Chris Leben Arrested

    on suspicion of DUI

    According to Hawaii News Now, UFC middleweight Chris Leben was arrested Tuesday by Honolulu police on suspicion of DUI.

    Leben reportedly crashed his truck while driving on the H-1 Freeway. “The Crippler” was allegedly driving with neither a license nor insurance. After being taken into custody, the former “TUF” competitor was released on $1,000 bail.

    This is not the first time that Leben, 30, has been accused of an alcohol-related offense. He was arrested in 2008 by Oregon police on charges of parole violation in relation to a previous DUI offense. Leben was sentenced to 35 days in jail, requiring his UFC 85 matchup with Michael Bisping to be pushed back to UFC 89.

    Originally from Portland, Ore., Leben moved to East Oahu, Hawaii, in 2007 to become the head coach at Icon Fitness MMA Gym. Additionally, Leben opened his own training center, Ultimate Fight School. Leben is coming off three straight wins, the first time he’s accomplished that feat since 2006. He most recently submitted Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 116 in July, and he’s scheduled to meet Brian Stann at UFC 125 on New Year’s Day.

        Dude has issues.

        A fight vs Wandy is worth the price of a beer.
        Best reason to have a license.

            No reason why the UFC and his people want to keep him focused with training and fights. When he's left to his own devices, he fucks up. Thankfully, he hasn't hurt anybody with his drunkenness.

                Why would the UFC cut him if he's not going to spend serious time in prison? Leben would just sign with SF or another of the competing promotions.

                  Because he broke the law and could have killed someone. Spending time in prison has nothing to do with it. It's about holding your fighters accountable and operating with some sense of integrity. Daley didn't spend time in prison but they cut him for what he did. The question doesn't even need to be asked which is worse.

                    They didn't cut Rampage after his....rampage.

                    They did cut War Machine after he got into brawls.

                    Like with anything, it matters how big of a name you are.
