Chris Leben has been suspended for the next year by the UFC. Leben broke the substance abuse policy and was given the boot by UFC president Dana White. Leben, who will now serve his second suspension from the octagon had this to say:
“I would like to make it known that I fully accept this suspension and apologize for embarrassing the UFC, my friends and family, and sport of mixed martial arts,” Leben said. “I’m learning that I’m my own worst enemy sometimes. I can’t succeed in the Octagon or in life behaving this way. I’ve got to make some real changes over the next year and I’m going to focus on getting my life and career back on track. Again, I’m sorry to the UFC and fans that’ve supported me since my days on The Ultimate Fighter.”
Hopefully he can take this time and get everything together, he’s a talented fighter and as fan I’ll be looking forward to seeing him back in the ring again.
