Ultimate Fighter Turns Himself In Over Oregon DUI Case

Chris Leben tries to resolve old arrest for drunk driving in Clackamas County.

Ultimate Fight Championship middleweight Chris Leben surrendered himself to authorities in Clackamas County for probation violations stemming from a 2005 Oregon DUI case. A county judge had issued a bench warrant for Leben because the fighter did not complete terms of his probation before moving to Hawaii in 2007.

Leben became a star in the first season of the reality show ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. He started his UFC career with six wins before losing to the current fight champ. Leben moved to Hawaii to train and teach at Icon Fitness. His DUI defense attorney said that attempts had been made to transfer his probation to Hawaii but they were unsuccessful.

Leben is scheduled to fight Michael Bisping in London on June 7, and it is thought that he wants to clear legal issues stemming from his case of driving under the influence in Oregon in order to obtain a travel visa.
