Chris Leben was a fan-friendly fighter throughout his eight-plus year Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tour of duty, but all the knockouts and bloody brawls were about to catch up with "The Crippler" sometime.
And that sometime was against Middleweight up-and-comer Uriah Hall (11-5) at the UFC 168 pay-per-view (PPV) in Dec. 2013.
"Prime Time," who takes a fight on short notice against former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi 37-5-(2) at UFC Fight Night 75 this Saturday (Sept. 27, 2015), was in desperation mode against Leben having lost two consecutive lackluster tilts to Kelvin Gastelum and John Howard.
