UFC’s Chris Leben Turns Referee — Look!

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight star Chris “The Crippler” Leben has elected a new profession. Now, the former fighter can be seen practicing as an official referee for a mixed martial arts match.

Leben has not been inside the octagon since his 2013 TKO loss to Uriah Hall. The match put the fighter on a four fight losing streak within his mixed martial arts career. Overall, Chris Leben departed from the sport with an official record of 22-11. Now, it would appear that the fighter is contributing to the fighting community in other ways from inside the cage.
