|  What is going on with Chris Leben??
I remember someone saying the last fight on his contract with the ufc was his fight with Terry,and I haven't heard anything about if he is resigning with the UFC or what.I heard rumors of people saying he was gonna fight for Icon/Elite/Strikeforce but nothing has come to surface.Does anyone know whats up or is there any way anyone can get an interview with Chris to see whats going on??

Dude you have the same frustrations I do, so I feel you...your favorite fighter, like Diego Sanchez, is a not-upper-tier fighter (resulting in sub-spotlight-intensity coverage) whose even own website is updated only infrequently, leaving you long periods of time wondering "what the f_ck is going on with him?"
It sucks doesn't it

The MW division in the UFC is thin enough as it is; and even though Leben isn't on the level of Franklin or Silva, he's a talent and a draw. The UFC needs to add to their MW division, not lose pieces like Leben.

If Paulo stood with Leben it could be a bad night for Filho, but I don't believe he would do that; I believe he would take him down, where he would be able to control him, and submit him.

LMAO EXACTLY. With everyone sniffing Randy and Fedors Buttnuggets all the time everyones time and attention is off the mid level fighters.We all know that Evan Tanner is drinking himself to sleep etc etc someone needs to make sure Leben isn't doing the same thing!! ha ha yeah the Chris Leben myspace updated the day he KOd Martin and not since then lol.

As bad as filho's stand up looked against sonnen, leben would hurt him very badly on the feet. Leben's stand up looked a little bit better against terry martin..he used a little less recklessness imo...I think leben could sprawl and brawl, so i guess we have to agree to disagree
