Retired UFC fighter Chris Leben was sentenced to 120 days of jail on Monday, as well as given three years of additional probation for his part in an attempted break-in and felony possession of an assault weapon.

Leben entered a guilty plea for attempting to break into the apartment of his ex-wife, Kaleena Leben, in San Diego back in June.

According to a report to an ABC affiliate in San Diego, the 35-year old Leben will be required to report for custody on Sept. 21. In addition to the jail time and probation, Leben will also need to complete a 52-week domestic violence class, and he has been ordered to stay away from his ex-wife for the next 10 years.

“This case is a very serious incident,” the  Deputy District Attorney Matthew Dix said in the report. “[Leben] broke into her home while she was there. He had a loaded gun on him. He also brought to the property an AR-15, which is an illegal assault weapon. So, it’s a very scary incident for our victim and it’s also important to let people like him know that these kind of things are going to be punished within our community and I think custody time was appropriate punishment in this case.”

Leben, who retired in 2013 after his loss to Uriah Hall at UFC 168, was a cast member on the first edition of The Ultimate Fighter reality show.

Upon receiving his sentence, Leben posted a note on his Twitter account.

I just remembered a joke my mom told me once what kind of bird doesn't fly answer a jailbird LOL everything happens for reason right

Leben fought 22 times in the UFC, dating back to his 2005 TUF 1 victory over Jason Thacker.

A heavyweight bout between contenders Stipe Miocic and Ben Rothwell is being looked at for UFC Fight Night 76 in Dublin, Ireland.

Though the bout is not official yet, that the fight is being targeted to take place at the 3Arena (formerly O2 Arena) on Oct. 24, sources told MMA Fighting. Currently Miocic is ranked as the No. 3 heavyweight in the media-driven UFC rankings, while Rothwell sits at No. 6.

After going just 2-3 during a five-fight stretch between 2009-2013 — including a loss to Velasquez at UFC 104 — the 33-year old Rothwell has won three straight fights to come crashing back into contention. All three of his victories were finishes, with his last two — against Alistair Overeem (TKO) and Matt Mitrione (submission, gogoplata) — coming in the first round.

The 32-year old Miocic, meanwhile, has won four of his past five fights, with his only loss coming against Junior dos Santos in December. In his last outing, Miocic was able to outlast Mark Hunt, finishing him memorably via TKO in the fifth round at UFC Fight Night 65 in Adelaide, Australia.

UFC Fight Night 76 will feature a headlining bout between lightweights Dustin Poirier and Irishman Joe Duffy.

On Tuesday morning in New York City, the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Reebok held a press conference and near fashion show to debut the new ‘UFC Fight Kits’, apparel worn by fighters in the Octagon and during all UFC-controlled events.

Below is a collection of what was presented pulled from social media, from country-by-country kits to the championship variety as well as other gear the athletes can expect to wear.

Yoel Romero defeated Lyoto Machida in the main event of UFC Fight Night 70 on Saturday night in Hollywood, Florida, but his post-comments have already created controversy. After his third-round TKO stoppage victory, Romero made religiously-inclined comments, seemingly regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage on Friday. Romero later commented at the post-fight press conference his comments related to the ‘American Dream’, shorthand for economic and social opportunity.

According to an early transcript, Romero’s comments are as follows:

UFC Fight Night 70 aired live on Fox Sports 1.

MEXICO CITY — UFC lightweight Efrain Escudero spoke to the media on Wednesday ahead of his UFC 188 bout opposite Drew Dober, why fighting in Mexico is so important to him, doing press tours in 2010 with Cain Velasquez and much more.

MEXICO CITY — Olympic gold medalist and UFC flyweight Henry Cejudo spoke to the media on Wednesday about his upcoming UFC 188 fight opposite Chico Camus, why the atmosphere in Mexico City is like the Olympic Games, being a role model and much more.
