UFC middleweight “Crippler” Chris Leben (18-4) was sentenced to 35 days in a Clackamas County, Oregon jail Thursday for violating his probation.
Leben is scheduled to fight “The Count” Michael Bisping (15-1) in London 7 June. The fight remained on the card at the UFC’s official website Friday morning.
Leben was credited for eight days served, which means he will be released just days before UFC 85.
Since Leben will be unable to appropriately train, his fight with Bisping is likely to be scratched from the UFC 85 card.

I heard he turned himself in, good move
I want to see Bisping get his head smashed in.
Wow this totally sucks for UFC85
By violating probation, do they mean picked up for DUI?
Yea, I think that constitutes violating your probation
well that sucks…
Wasn’t Leben living and teaching in Hawaii?
Don’t do drugs
Obviously he wasn’t taking his fight seriously anyways, drinking 6 weeks before his fight
Will they reschedule this match?
