He currently has a probation violation/DUII warrant for his arrest in the State of Oregon. Maybe he should take care of his legal business before he fights anymore. Warrant can only be served in Oregon, that might explain why he moved to Hawaii ?? I wonder how serious he will be in this fight..

We are starting to see a better fighter, more controlled. We are seeing Leben 3.0. He is still young; I would love to see him improve his ground game so he has it if he needs it. Gotta admit his fights are always entertaining. Props to the the UFC for taking out their checkbook.

I think if people want to stand toe to toe with him they are in danger. Not nessisarily going to loose to him (Anderson Silva for example) but they are deffinately in danger. But his gas tank is always questionable and I just think he leads with his chin too much. He is available for the straight jab all day long. Also his ground game isn't great yet, altho it is improving. So I see leban being the Butterbean of the MW division. leban is an ok fighter.

Most of you probably saw the fight with Cote and leben definitly did not win that fight.

Also did anyone expect Liddell/Wandy to go 3 rounds?! I tell you...I'm with Rogan on this one: MMA is THE most exciting sport in the world today.

Like other people have said he always brings his all to his fights, even though he probably won't ever be champ. I also like that he got a good boost from $10k base salary to $25k. Hopefully this is a sign that the UFC is going to start paying their middle and lower tier guys better money. I’m glad to see Leben signed to a new contract.

He is a fighter and he can fight haha. Wandy is a good fighter too. I think this would be a reeeally hard one to call. Sure Jardine stands a chance. He is a fighter and he can fight haha.
