Former UFC fighter Chris Leben’s health has improved and he is cleared to return to fighting.
On Tuesday, Leben posted a status on his Facebook page revealing that his heart is doing better and he has been cleared to fight by doctors.
“Just had my Big heart check up my ejection fraction has gone from 15 to 18% up to 40% or more!!!!!” Leben wrote on his Facebook.
“(Expletive) I got a to say it something to be said about clean living LOL!!!!! Dr. said I can pass a pre-fight medicals and she’s OK with me fighting if I choose to.”
Leben has not fought since his last fight in the UFC back in 2013. He left the UFC on a four-fight losing streak. In his last fight, his corner stepped in and stopped his fight with Uriah Hall due to the amount of damage he had taken.
Leben’s UFC career was highlighted by notable wins against Patrick Cote, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Wanderlei Silva.
