The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Chris Leben was sentenced to a 35 day stay in the “gray bar motel” for his parole violation. He’ll be given credit for the time served so far, but this still means that he’ll get out on 5/27 (my guess is that he may get released a few days before that if he keeps his nose clean for ‘good behavior’). This will leave him with no time to train for the Bisping fight.

Chris Leben was sentenced today to 35 days in jail after turning himself in on a probation violation. He will be released on 5/27, because he is being given credit for days served, but this won’t leave him with any training time for a fight on 6/7 in London.

It has been confirmed with UFC the Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben match is off. Joe Silva had already had a back-up plan in case Leben wasn’t able to do the fight. UFC expected Leben to be released today. At this point we can’t confirm a replacement.
