"So I’ve been in the hospital since Tuesday," Leben wrote. "I went in after a cough and shortness of breath I developed after Covid. I’m not one to bellyache to the world. But if you haven’t seen me at the gym or around that is why. And if you can shoot some positive vibes my way other than that I don’t really wanna say much until we know exactly what’s going on" Leben, 41, has not given an update since the post. Leben is the second member of the original cast of the monumental reality series "The Ultimate Fighter" to be hospitalized for post-COVID issues. "TUF 1" middleweight winner Diego Sanchez was open about his battle with COVID-induced health issues in November that landed him in the hospital. Sanchez, 40, is seemingly doing much better now and even has a March fight scheduled against Kevin Lee under the Eagle FC banner.

I hope he makes a speedy recovery.
 
Being at peak fighting shape doesn't mean being at peak health. Cutting down to low bodyfats and dehydrating yourself multiple times a year, getting punched and kicked in the head, taking a beating in training, etc are all very bad for you. Take into account that Leben has been doing this for 20 years and you have a man with a very weak nervous and immune system. Best wishes to him.
 
This bouta get war roomed because y’all can’t act right. Same thing happened with the Diego covid thread. Just wish the mothafucka well and move on. No one wants to hear your views on the pandemic.
 
Oh man, I love these threads...
