Chris Leben was arrested last week on six charges, including a felony. But he wants to make it very clear that none of them involved domestic violence.
The popular former UFC fighter told MMAFighting.com on Monday evening that it was reported over the weekend by multiple websites, including BJPenn.com, that Leben had been involved in a domestic abuse incident. Leben said that is not the case.
"Absolutely ridiculous," Leben said. "I don't know where they got that. There's absolutely no truth to it."
Leben, 35, was arrested last Wednesday on charges of possession of an assault weapon, two counts of vandalism, two counts of trespassing and a count of violating a temporary order of protection, a San Diego Police Department spokesperson confirmed with MMAFighting.
