Chris Leben eyeing return outside UFC: 'I have been talking with some people'

After recently completing a jail sentence, Chris Leben is preparing to return to mixed martial arts competition -- but it won't be under the UFC banner.

Former UFC middleweight Chris Leben has been actively training to get back in shape since recently completing his sentence at a California jail. Does this mean "The Crippler" is eyeing a return to mixed martial arts competition? Nothing is official, but it's a major possibility.

"Right now, I've been training full-time, a couple times a day, trying to get my body back under control," Leben told the Louder With Crowder Podcast.
