Chris Leben’s UFC Return Fight & More UFN 6 Notes
Sherdog.com is reporting Chris Leben will be returning to the octagon sooner than expected, as he’s rumored to be on the Ultimate Fight Night 6 card scheduled for August 17 at the Red Rock Casino.
Leben last fought only two weeks ago, losing a one-sided fight to UFC newcomer Anderson Silva at just fourty-nine seconds into the first round.
“The Crippler” will dust himself off, pick himself back up and according to Sherdog.com will fight Jorge Santiago on August 17 at UFN 6 on Spike TV.
Santiago also fought two weeks ago on the same show as Leben, he won his fight via knockout in just over two minutes of the first round of his fight against Justin Levens.
This bout is added to a card already featuring the announced main-event of Diego Sanchez vs. Karo Parisyan.
Our own Seth Petruzelli of CFZ Radio here on MMANews.com was scheduled to make his non-Ultimate Fighter debut in the UFC on the same card, but was forced off due to injury. Petruzelli will go into detail about that situation later today on Combat Fighter Zone at 8:00PM ET, 5:00PM PT at http://radio.mmanews.com. The show also features special guests Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Lindland, opponents at the upcoming WFA “King of the Streets” PPV on July 22.
