UFC middleweight and the original The Ultimate Fighter bad boy Chris Leben has been arrested on the suspicion of driving while under the influence after crashing his truck on the H1 Freeway in Hawaii. Additionally he was driving without a licence or insurance. He has been released on bail after posting a $1,000 bond and will appear in court next month. This is a serious and depressing setback for a fighter who seemed to overcome previous problems with substance abuse and had won over wans with a three-fight winning streak over the course of 2010. He had been due to face Brian Stann at UFC 125. There is as yet no word about the future of that matchup.

I’m really disappointed to hear this — Leben was reportedly sobering up and was looking like he was getting on the right path following two victories in two weeks but this throws him completely off track.
