Chris The Crippler Leben gets first UFC title fight (Judging UFC 311)

[Blastbeat]

I was a big fan back in the day. I remember when his nickname was The Cat Smasher.


It's great to see him doing so well in life. I'm happy for him.

The Cat Smasher???? That's hilarious
Either he meant he was smashing his opponents who he considered pussies
Or he was smashing a lot of pussy

What a fucking nickname lmao

Anyway, super glad for Leben. He deserves this opportunity, dude dedicated his life to violence and now he gets to judge it

Don’t ever Leben it the hands of the judges

he will also judge two other fights
Talbot vs Barcelos
Nakamura vs Gafurov

Love to see it. Always nice to see retired fighters make a living after fighting.

but the spotlight will be on him for sure. imho

This guy has an absolutely incredible story.

A lot of highs and lows.

10 years ago nobody would have dreamed he would earn the role he is in now.

War Crippler !

All he had to do on that elevator was hit the panic button, drop the tough guy shtick, hetire and walk away.

Instead he got a taste of the real world

Buffer Bless

Nice to see Bruce is so accepting of the transexuals.

Your name is Megatronlee and talking about others saying stupid shit. The only stupid shit in this thread ironically, is your shit.

Leben has worked hard to turn his life around. Love to see it

War Leben

Leave Chris alone. He’s my friend

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Fucker I was really hopeful that the crippler got the 155 title shot finally

Whaaaat? Leben was a Middleweight for pretty much his entire career..

It's just a really old term to be called a "Cool Cat"

To be called a "cool cat" is slang for being fashionable, easygoing, or admirable. It can also refer to someone who is self-assured, calm, and composed

So basically Leben beat up all "the cool guys" lol just out there Smashin Cats. imho

 

[Phisher]

Good for Leben.

He seems like a completely different person since he got sober.

 

[BowserJr]

He didnt ref the nakamura fight?

Cat was another slang for dude... like "hey i know that cat"

Leben was smashing cats

 

[WouldNotBang]

Glad to see they are finally getting refs that understand mma

 

[Thad Castle v2]

Happy for Leben. Hopefully he isn't a shitty judge

 

[Pequeño Corey]

He’s gonna go back to Japan where the judging is easier
