    This is really heartbreaking. After all the talk about him getting his life straight...

    FigureFour/WrestlingObserver is reporting...

    When I read this on another site I yet out loud "ahhh fuck me!". Surprised my roommate a little.

    Really upset about this. I love Leben man and this sucks. Now we know why he was so ripped this time around. It is kinda weird that a lot of the times when fighters test positive they actually lose their fights.

    I really root for Leben, he's had a hard upbringing and it looked like he was improving his life outside the ring.
    I really hope this is a minor setback in his life and he's able to come back and fight again for the UFC.

    So this pretty much sucks for the dude, 9 months without a fight, and loosing some of the money he already had? Pretty rough penalty, I sure hope he had enough saved up to where he can go that long without a fight.
