The crippler! The first man I ever legally placed a bet on! I bet $20 on him to win by KO against some guy named Anderson.

Takes courage to admit that.

Fighter, coach, ref, judge, gym owner. Full fighter’s arc. This guy just needs to write a book and his story is complete.

What a legend, this guy headbutted punches to break hands.

Sounds like he is in good shape and good health. Congratulations on a great fifhting career, successful gym, judging and reffing. BRAVO Leben

Love to see Chris looking so good and healthy. Dude has a hard a life and lots of up and downs but one of the nicest most down to earth people I have ever met.

I was gonna comment but you said everything I wanted to say. Chris is just a good human being. He’s had problems like everyone has, but he’s always been humble throughout.

Seriously happy to see folks like Chris Leben, Mike Perry and others succeed within the realm of this insane sport! It's an absolute pleasure to have witnessed many of these fights live and in person. MUCH RESPECT

It's AWESOME to see the Crippler succeeding like this after fighting, the man has literally helped shape MMA as a whole! So many great memories of Chris Leben!!

“How do you like your coffee?” “Black . . . with a little cream, a little sugar.” 😂

So glad to see Chris doing well in life. Amazing turn around from where he looked to be headed when we were all introduced to him years ago, at least from the outside looking in.

Stoked for Chris!

Love it i really hope to see Jason Miller go down similar path once he gets his head back right ✅ 🙏

Helen brightens the day always

Nina Drama pales in comparison

Chris Leben and Sean need to do a pod cast lol

Such a fun interview and it’s really nice to see Leben so happy. Plus the bonus for me was reconfirming how big of a Seinfeld fan Chael is for pulling the old buying funny stories from Chris like Peterman did with Kramer.

Thank you Helen. Well done! We all love the Crippler!

Chris you are the man. Keep it professional bro.

Helen's interviews always have funny moments. 😅

I remember on one of my brothers first fights as an amateur seeing him ref there for the first time and my brother and I were like "hey bro, is that Chris Leben?" and we were both like no way. Great memories, seeing a bunch of fighters in the back while preparing to make the walk.

I’m so Happy Chris has got his head together. He’s a true gift to the sport

Chael and Leben are both 🐐 🐐

Congratulations Chris! good to see you doing so well!

Since the Ultimate Fighter season 1 I been a fan of Leban. Crazy good dude, and I mean crazy as in loco lol

I am very happy for Chris. It's nice to see him excited about the new directions his life is going in.

I love Chris . What a warrior.

Happy to see Leben doing well.

I love this dude so much that my 7yr old son knows him and loves him

happy for Chris, he's been through a lot.

Happy for you Chris, you deserve it…

I like Chris, definitely a likable guy. He seems to be really enjoying life. Good for him.

Leben looks really good. Great to see.

Chris has come a LONG way since we first saw him on TUF... Definite respect to the man!

legend!

Wish Leben all the best!! ❤

I love ya Chris been following all along brother 👊🏻😎 my favourite fighter of all time

Glad to see The Crippler in such a state. This dude is a living legend. Underrated as a fighter, a person, and a businessman. Shout out to Doctor Octagon.

Big love for big chris always ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Another fun and fantastic interview by (your one and only) Hell Yee. Leben seems so cool, doing his stuff post fighting. An excellent template for other fighters; unless the monetize like O'Malley or something superstar like that.

Proud of my boy.

Warms your heart to see this lad doing so well now. Hard times make harder men 👏💪

What a success story from what he came from and his addiction. I love his laugh Lmaoooo

That was Chael being a good friend… and to do the funny bit from Seinfeld

Chris is a legend

best episode ever: multiple hot Helens and top notch stories

I’m glad that Leben is doing much better!!!!

Love you Chris! Thank you for all your work!!!❤

Chris Leben still has his faculties and speech in tact after all these years. He has been in some crazy wars throughout his career.

Chris is an awesome dude. We really do need more ex pro fighters putting the post career work in to become excellent referees and judges. You can see by the look in his eyes when he's doing the job how focused he is.

Was there ever a bad Leben fight? Love this guy and glad he's still involved. 🤙🏼

He looks really healthy and well, good to see him doing well. He literally put UFC on the map from TUF season one. Still makes me laugh thinking about him ‘spritzing’ that guys pillow.

Chris Leban is still my favorite TUF competitor.

love chris

Love Chris

lol, what great stories from The Crippler himself. Thank you Helen.

Big fan of The Crippler! I like seeing this side of him, seems like a cool dude.

Legend

probably the best judge ever

Good job Helen. Awesome 👍

Back when he was younger, I really couldn't stand Chris. As he matured, trained harder and drank less, I saw a different man. Since then I've really liked him and I'm happy to see him still part of the community all these years later. Great to hear his thoughts and see him running a gym.

He autographed a dollar bill in the mgm lobby for me way back 👊🏻

So many fighters complain about refs and judges ,Leben stepped up

OG. Period. Dot.

They don't build em like Chris anymore....glad he's a ref now lord knows we need all the solid officials we can get.....and the 'crippler?....doesn't get any better than this!! 💯

Leben is a legend.

Herb Dean seems so wholesome

Absolutely awesome!!!😂😂😂

Yeah, good onya Chrisco! you're a fuckin' legend mate!

My favorite fighter ever! On TuF 1 when he drank all night and then was the only one to finish the test run was so awersome haha. Dude is inhuman. Can't believe hes still going so hard after how bad his heart issue was.

Glad to see Chris doing much better. I doubt he would be here if kept on the path he was on

The crippler Leben. 💯💯💯🤜🏻🧱 A legend. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

❤

Chris owes cheal two hundred bucks!

I fuckin love this guy 💪😎 but I love Helen more 😍

Imagine if Chris would have been around for bare knuckle? Great seeing him judging. His MMA knowledge and coaching skills are top notch.

Portland legend

Always loved the crippler and Helen you are to hot for the schmo lol seriously you are always on point and also ready to joke. I want a Helen yee in my life❤️

Good too see Chris isn't Drunk and going to jail!....lmao...Love the Crippler!

Great to see him doing well! He was a bit of a hot head / air head on TUF!!

Best chin in the game

Love the Crippler!

Splurgeo paintings! Dope gym Chris.

The first time he told this story was way funnier. Said the deer was in a car for 2 weeks and mom had him take a bite. And he went to the hospital

Javier Mendez gave you credit for discovering the Volk news 💪🏼💪🏼

Buying stories is literally a Seinfeld episode

It’s pretty scary when I don’t know if it’s a man or woman I don’t want to offend anybody but their head is bigger than Chris Leben said there’s been scientific studies done on Chris Leben‘s head how big it is the actual human head weighs approximately 5 pounds Chris Leben’s head weighs 28 1/2 pounds not only is he is smart, intelligent fighter, but now he’s crossed over into being a referee. Congratulations but you are still a fighter in my mind and one hell of a fighter that never quit, and I don’t think I ever seen you got beaten you just rolled with the punches. You’re a true champion Chris Leben.

I drank with Leben one night in Hawaii at a UFC viewing event at a bar. He would order ( waitress understood quickly ) a shot of Jameson with his regular drink, and one in between drinks. I was wasted, but I'm guessing 10 drinks and 20 shots...no shit

Lebron looks good. Happy for him that he’s doing well. He’s had a rough life

Chris is the reason TUF was successful and TUF was the reason the UFC was successful

Legend… Chris bring back the Red hair 🙏

Didn't see the "skillsaw" coming oh gawd

Helen is such a beautiful classy lady.

must watch lol

The Cat Smasher 😊

"Cream, sugar, and a bl#$ j$% under the table."

Lebens voice actually sounds just like Charles

😬😬 Helen Yee here 😬😬

That was a Seinfeld episode.

Happy for my fellow Alcoholic!🙏🏼👊🏼
