Leben to return in January

Middleweight fighter Chris ’The Crippler’ Leben looks set for a January return to the Octagon.

MMA Junkie reports that Leben will be on the UFC Fight Night 20 card in January.

Leben is on a two-fight losing streak, following losses to Michael Bisping at UFC 89 and Jake Rosholt at UFC 102.

Leben is in desperate need of a win in order to avoid being cut from the UFC roster, according to reports.

MMA Junkie says Leben has given a verbal agreement for a fight against Jay Silva for the yet unannounced UFC Fight Night 20.
