Chris Leben Biography

Chris Leben Biography: Christian Cyrus Leben is a former MMA fighter, referee, and bare-knuckle boxer from the United States. From 2002 until 2013, he fought as a professional MMA fighter, most notably in the UFC’s Middleweight division, where he went 12-10 in 22 appearances.

Chris Leben Biography

Chris Leben Biography: Chris Leben was born on July 21, 1980, in Portland, Oregon, U.S. He has a younger sister and an elder brother. He was raised without his father and met him when he was 23 years old. As a result, Leben’s mother worked long hours as a bartender daily to support the family. Leben grew up enjoying skateboarding, dirt riding, and snowboarding. He grew interested in MMA in middle school and began watching the UFC.

He began boxing training before joining the wrestling team at Benson Polytechnic High School, where he excelled. Leben did not have a proper education as a youngster and learned to read or write when he graduated from high school. Leben quickly enrolled in the United States Army after being assured mistakenly by a recruiter that he would be able to wrestle for the army’s team. Leben went AWOL and was fired after learning that he would not be allowed to wrestle for the military.

Chris Leben Biography

Chris Leben Career

Leben saw an MMA gym across the street, home to Team Quest, while visiting his brother at work one day. Trainer Robert Follis invited Leben to the squad, and he was soon working with Randy Couture, Matt Lindland, Nate Quarry, and Ed Herman. After improving his skills, Leben began competing as an amateur, going 5-0 and winning the FCFF and UFCF middleweight belts.

Leben turned professional after his success in the amateur divisions, where he went 4-0. He won his first five fights, three by knockout, and claimed the Gladiator Challenge, Sportfight, and WEC Middleweight tops in the process. Leben defeated Benji Radach and Mike Swick but was defeated by Joe Doerksen in a decision.

Leben fought Jason Thacker on the undercard of The Ultimate Fighter 1’s live finale on April 9, 2005. When Thacker viewed the program and realized Leben had used his bed as a urinal, he was not amused. In a conversation with Dana White, Thacker demanded a championship match against Leben. Leben won the fight in 95 seconds of the first round due to a referee stoppage for striking. Leben later apologized to Thacker for urinating on his bed, explaining that he had quit drinking.

Chris Leben Biography

Leben then lost a very close unanimous decision to Kalib Starnes at UFC 71 on May 26, 2007. The fight was named Fight of the Night. Leben was arrested on April 30, 2008, in Oregon by Clackamas County Sheriffs for a DUI from a prior date. He was imprisoned and temporarily held without bail for allegedly violating his probation. Leben was then given a 35-day prison sentence.

Leben was scheduled to face Aaron Simpson at UFC 114, but the fight occurred at The Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz Finale on June 19, 2010. After a rough first round in which Simpson slammed Leben several times, Leben eventually threw consecutive punches on Simpson in the second that sent him tumbling across the octagon, collapsing face-first at the opposite side of the octagon, prompting referee Josh Rosenthal to stop the fight by TKO at 4:17 of the second round.

Leben fought Uriah Hall at UFC 168 on December 28, 2013. Leben informed his corner that the fight was over after nearly being knocked out after the first round, resulting in a TKO loss to Hall after the first round. During the broadcast, UFC commentator Joe Rogan noted that Leben inquired, “Was I knocked out?” as he was being led to his corner. Leben repeated “I’m done” multiple times before the referee stopped the bout. This was Leben’s fourth consecutive defeat.
