Media The Crippler Makes UFC Judging Debut This Weekend

[JoeganMoldberg]

I hope we see more ex Pro MMA fighters become judges in the future.

 

[muhammadgoatli]

YES!

 

[otis604]

Glad to see he is still working!

 

[Sweater of AV]

Hope Mike Bell is there and Chris knocks him the fuck out.



Seriously though, it's good to see competent people becoming refs and judges.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Good for him

 

[HaulParris]

Cat Smasher never dies!

 

[RonDante]

Is it true judges have a monitor of the live feed of the fight or do they really just rely on looking through the cage

 

[HHJ]

Cat Smasher still puttin the stamp on kids!

That's awesome. You love to see it.

As a TUF 1 viewer, it's funny to see Chris Leben described as a competent person. Whether this says more about Leben as a man or MMA judging as an enterprise, I don't know, but good for Leben and I hope that this is the start of positive changes in judging.

Official Leben FTW.

 

[Fioretti]

I hope he spritzes some sense on his new colleagues.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

Glad to see he is still working!

Ran into him hiking out in the desert a few years back. Cool dude.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

My only issue is favoritism.

 

[wufabufa]

Whatever happened to Bill Mahood? He was a judge for a bit after retiring from fighting. Haven't heard about him in ages.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

I could make judges jokes but honestly I just wanna say good for Leben on finding a solid 2nd career to do.

 

[Jibsta69]

Chris Benoit has been resurrected?

 

[Megatronlee]

That’s my guy

As someone who's witnessed the likes of Cecil Peoples, Adalaide Byrd etc over the years, Chris Leben is somewhere between Galileo and Isaac Newton.
