Dana White said recently he’s pulling for Chris Leben when the suspended middleweight returns. Now that return has a date.
Leben, whose suspension will be lifted in November, will face Karlos Vemola at the UFC’s year-end show, UFC 155. UFC officials on Wednesday announced the fight booking.
UFC 155 takes place Dec. 29 in Las Vegas. The main card, including a heavyweight title fight between champion Junior Dos Santos and former titleholder Cain Velasquez, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
