UFC
middleweight Chris Leben is currently behind bars in the Clackamas
County Jail in Oregon.
Leben,
who now resides in Hawaii, flew back to Oregon to turn himself
in Wednesday for an old probation violation from a Driving
under the influence offense. The former Team Quest member
was required to remove the old warrant in order to obtain
a VISA for his June 7 fight versus Michael Bisping at UFC
85 in London.
"Chris
has worked hard the past year to grow both physically, mentally
and spiritually," said T.Jay Thompson, who hired Leben
to be his lead instructor for the Icon Sport MMA and fitness
gym. "The actions he took to make this fight happen
in London show this growth. Chris would like everyone to
know he accepts responsibility for his past actions and
will face the consequences and continue forward on his journey."
