The Crippler



Chris Leben is a young up and coming fighter in the world of mixed martial arts. He got his break into the higher ranks on The Ultimate Fighter. TUF is a reality show in which fighters advance only by winning fights against others on the show. The last man standing in two different weight classes are rewarded with a UFC contract. Leben did not win, but this blue collar underdog has gained the respect of fans and fighters alike. His popularity has already led him to whispers of a Title shot, Leben has publicly said he would currently turn his head at a Title bout. Leben would like to take the scenic route towards the Championship, he wants the next match to be his best until his fans are screaming for him to have a Title match. This Thursday on Spike TV, Leben will fight his next match against undefeated newcomer Luigi Fioravanti.
