LAS VEGAS – Mercurial middleweight Chris Leben has
been through his share of ups and downs.
“The Crippler” was a member of the original season of “The Ultimate
Fighter,” and he’s since balanced flashes of greatness in the cage with
personal struggles outside of it.
On Saturday night, Leben bested previously undefeated grappling standout
Aaron Simpson on the main card of The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale in Las
Vegas. But despite turning in his best performance in nearly two years,
Leben said he’s in no rush to jump back in the octagon.
