Anyone else here old enough to remember Chris Leben from the first season of the ultimate fighter?
Oath! Always been a fan of this guy
yes and he got screwed i that show. Good fighter but butt ugly
Wild hair and all
Yea...him and Koschek used to go at it😂
I also remember watching him fight Anderson silva live my buddy was boosting leben but a less then a minute both in, awe
Chris was literally made for this, still love him man stone fuckin cold
He was made for bare knuckle. Super durable.
Chris looking roided up! Good job on the ko, ref saved Baesman from death lol
Leben will always hold crown for toughest chin and just flat nasty haha
@@joshmiller8754 he's definitely juiced to the tits! Lol
@@rconn4501 They get tested by the sports/gaming authorities....
"he doesn't look like he should have a 79" reach" Seriously? Chris is basically a real life Geodude.
Amazing, People always look at me confused when I make the Geodude reference. I agree with you 100%
I dunno when he fought in ufc they said he had 73 inches reach which is still big for his height. Also his reach looks smaller then Anderson silva who has a 77.5 inch reach.
staticbb nah fam he’s got legs, he’s clearly golem
😂😂😂🤣
@@MrGrimlocksmash 😂😂
Chris Leben has heart and talent, it’s just too bad he went through the adversity he did and the time when he was fighting in the UFC was the golden era he was fighting in, so many legends were born that period of time.
Yep. Anderson Silva and Rich Franklin were dominant at the time. Nobody could beat them.
Where he peed on dudes pillow?? I remember.
@@davidbooher5559 Franklin was unbeatable until Anderson silva showed up...then for about a decade Silva was GOAT.... .two different eras...... And silva smoked leban...that was historical.
In a bar brawl you better hope Chris is on your side
THIS ...is more like real world fighting... fast and wild ... not rolling around on the ground looking for a triangle choke
Nah, I can win my own fights, don't need help.
Or Cm punk

I'm happy to see Chris leben healthy, and doing well. He's had 2 awesome bare-knuckle fights. Looking forward to the third!
This is perfect for him since people will stand and bang with him
Nothing healthy about Chris fighting. I hope he's getting paid like crazy and can retire ASAP.
@@bragginrites8586 i think you right..
He's stated numerous times he enjoys fighting as much as one can so yeah, I think he's having fun still lol
Looks like he's been suspended indefinitely following his last fight.
Leben looks so goddamn good especially when you consider the hot mess he was throughout his 20s. As a former addict who also trains I find him inspiring af
me too
Leben is my hero

The older he gets, the better he looks. Dude is a bad, bad man.
I met Leben in 2016 at the UFC gym in Honolulu, he was just getting in a workout. Super cool dude, could not be any nicer of a person.
Guess you met him around the time he got sober because before that he was a major douchebag.
3:26 when you go frame by frame, when the hand reaches Baesman's face, why is the index finger pointed towards the eye?

Chris Leben was built for Bare knuckle fighting.
His calling
See how.he dips.his head he can take a knock on the skull
Yeah because in the UCF he was dangerous in the stand up game.
Chin from hell and death touch left hand = perfect. Hendo would have been perfect too.
Not gonna disagree with ya
Leban is an absolute warrior!! He’s taken a lot of damage over the years and is still competing at a high level. Much respect
Chris Leben was on of the first guys that got me into the sport. Hes got an unbelievable chin
Leben vs Baseman = Arian vs Caananite only one outcome when tings get physical
*Anderson Silva enters chat*
IRON CHIN
Great left hand too
@@myyritenut Who DIDN'T get their chin pounded by a prime Anderson Silva? Losing to Anderson is a badge of honor considering he is one of the all time best.

Leban has always fought like his spine is fused top to bottom
But it works
Didn't he have his disk's fused? In his neck?

He's gotta fused. At least at the top. He can't even move his head.
haha funny shit
Chris looks in better physical shape then when he was in the ufc.
💉💊
he looks like he is on the juice
HGH
It’s called roids
Juiced up bro.... no question whatsoever
Challenging Chris to a bare knuckle fight is like challenging Dracula to a blood drinking contest🧛♂️
I'd rather drink blood than fight Leben.
@@scotte3838 yeah you'd probably swallow a lot of blood anyway fighting him
@@skengbiscuit279 Without a doubt. Even 25 years ago when I was in my prime.
How can you not love Leben,, with that slugger zombie style..
Speaking of Zombie style, Korean Zombie needs to make an appearance here.
Leben looks in far better shape now than he ever did in UFC. Suspiciously so, perhaps.
@@petermcilhagga6656 he's more juiced than a first grader.
Love that dude
@@niks983 his piss would melt the cup
Always liked Leban, used to fight his heart out in the UFC. Nice to see him doing well he was always a fan favorite. You go Chris!
I was a fan of his back in the aughts. My fav quote from Leben "I'll come in smelling like booze and dirty strippers and still put the stamp on kids"
Lmao savage
I read that as 'slippers' at first and it made it even funnier
It wouldn't surprise me if Leben downed a mug of ale or mead before a fight for "training" purposes. The man's a total Viking...
Gangsta!! 😂😂
2:41 Leben shaking off that left hand "I hit him good, bam."
Wouldn't be surprised if he busted a knuckle.
He probably broke something dude 💀
I think Chris says he hit him good and right away. I guess it was that opening left to the body. The first punch Chris threw. Proceeded to beat him down. Also was interesting the ref pointing the camera away from Baseman after the fight was over. He was pretty rocked and the ref tried to save him some "dignity".
Just stumbled on this...always loved leben. Didnt know he was still fighting. Damn he still looks like a beast
Yea hes in better shape than ever he stopped drinking
Steroids work
Meanwhile Leben is aging like a fine wine🍷 👍🏼 *2-0 keep it up Chris!!!*
Artem lobov 2-0
Mar JuniorONE 🐐🐐
One or two more n call it quits. This is even more dangerous than MMA. Only a matter of time before someone catches him..
@@marjuniorone7627 Artem is in a much lower weight class. Chris vs Artem would be a mismatch.
Patrick Beavers Hes aging like a fine bottle of *STEROIDS*
Hes had a hard life, but he's really one hell of a guy. Glad he had such an interesting career and I hope he has a great retirement. I hope he knows how much we appreciate the years he put in.
BKFC has the most humble and respectful fighters anywhere
I've followed Chris Leben since Ultimate Fighter Season one. A true warrior!
Me too. One of my all time faves
CAT SMASHER! When I heard he was fighting BKFC I thought "OF COOOUURRRSSE!"
It was just a little spritz
Same. I wish he would've destroyed josh kenchieck and fight nate diaz.
yea i still remember when he punched the glass and it took a big chuck of meat off of his knuckle in an episode lol.

Always respected Chris. He’s grown a lot and I love how he stopped attacking when he knew it was over. Great win.
You're not allowed to strike a downed oppenent. This isn't mma.
Baseman’s corner “whatever you do don’t hit him, it just makes him mad” ✌🏻🇺🇸
Anderson hit him.
Anderson is a fuckin juice head who got routinely destroyed the last 10 years of his career. Silva fucking sucked
He might have lost, but give the man credit. Anybody willing to get in the ring for bareknuckle fighting deserves respect.

Leben has always been a monster. One of my favorite knock outs of his is when he KO’d Wanderlei Silva
Man that was amazing. Ultimate fighter to now.
My favorite was the come back KO of Terry Martin, watched it live and it was fucking amazing.
With the uppercuts in close too
That's the thickest neck Leben to date. Amazing what juice can do for the body. Every muscle pronounced. Looks just like T.J at his last fight.
This is lebens playground been a fan since the ultimate fighter season 1
J rob same here
got so much nostalgia watching this. Chris was (is?) crazy mofo, but still somehow very likable
Cat Smasher!
Yeah, I agree. His interview with renato laranja was pretty awesome, that was probably the most in depth conversation I've seen from him, albeit in a (hilarious) satire format.
I had a dream God was yelling at me, I wake up, and it's Chris Leben - Forrest Griffin
Damn good to see Chris aging very well.
Chris has always been my favorite. He has came so far. Good job Chris! You have morphed into a beast.
Chris is a beast and hell of an Entertainer. Love that guy
Same, miss watching him auto react to big hits...and end up ko'n the guy.

Always been a fan of The Crippler...good to see him still knocking folks out
Leben is a phenomenal athlete. Had his problems in the past but the guy has risen above it all. Love watching the guy 👍🏼
His biggest problem has always been that he’s a flat out simpleton. His talent is fighting, his weakness is life.
DamThatRiver85 dammmmmmnnnnn! I agree though.
@@armatageshanks06 Bet you wouldn't say that to Chris lebens face.
@@BBroom-xc6gs Why not? He wouldn't understand it anyways.
Chris Leben was my all time favorite personality of the mma world. So many times he's been out, but found a way to win. That's why he was always loved. Good to see him in the win column again.
That was the perfect balance of aggression, technique and respect. Beautiful
Chris got off Coke'acola and alcohol, and got on TrT and his whole life has turned around. Happy for him.
Oxys too
Yeah the guy looks great. Seems like a nice guy (outside the cage) too.
Probably no need to leave coke and alcohol to be in shape while on roids
Wy Grizzly I really don’t think so. You need to watch some more recent interviews with him, if you haven’t.
@@calbonar211 His skin is reddish and thin af, he looks dried with hard muscle (natties develope more of a sarcoplasmic hypertrophy which looks much softer than the sarcomere one that is greatly benefited by steroids), he used to be soft and I don't even need that reference point, a human is not suposed to look like that no matter what genetics you have (yes he doens't look like a bodybuilder but the overall look screams steroids), even fit people with low fat don't look as hard and dried as him, he also looks like he is on strong androgens like tren ace which gives a special overall look and mad agression.
Wanderlei silva should do this
He did already! He already sacrificed his face and his brain to bare-knuckle fighting before he got into gloved MMA. He got the bare-knuckle fights overwith early in his career, and he shouldn't have to go back to it.
believe achieve funny yo say that, yesterday I was watching his early vale tudo fights.... they are brutal lol
@JR Thomas pancrase didn't allow punches so much as open palm strikes. I think if he joined BKFC he would lose to leben again. Leben has a better chin than wanderlei and hits just as hard
@JR Thomas nope, Vale Tudo promotions from Brazil
@@tobysalvaje4511 EXACTLY!! part of his face legit legit peels off during one of em. his scar is so huge from that, and he permanently has one eyebrow because of it too!
I have seen nothing but respect between all competitors. That’s just one of many reasons I love Bare knuckle fighting.
That guy was fine to get up, just to scared to go on.
Dude took 9 punches to the face. I’m pretty sure he was not “fine to get up” lol
dude was swaying like in mortal kombat when the Shang Sun tells you to finish him.
Been rooting for Chris since TUF 1. So great to see him in 2019 DOMINATING!
Been a fan of his since that first season. What was that like 15 years ago?
Chris Leben looking like he’s on the Randy Couture sauce 😂 he looks way different‼️ maybe it’s me
LMFAO
He looks like he's been through some things over the past few years. Definitely a hardened and seasoned fighter right there
I agree. He looks a lot bigger, particularly his neck. I'd guess he's been juicing.
I heard he's been using creatine and everything. Now, if that's not hardcore juicing then I dunno what is!!!
Just looking at his torso, I'm certain he's using HGH. He's an old dog. If bare knuckle doesn't care, neither do i.
Chris has hammers in he's hands, and if you thinking of a easy fight against him, dude you have to be ready for a nightmare, he has a heart of a dragon, and the fighting spirit of a samurai
Chris Leben is the man!! I’ve always loved him, he is my favorite fighter, with Frankie Edgar a close second. So entertaining to watch, great job Chris.
Love Chris! He never put on a boring fight, win or lose. Glad to see him get a W!
Chris has always been one of my favorite fighters. Bk is perfect for him
I love watching Chris Leben fights. With his never say die attitude...he always puts on a great show, and the guy's got the heart of 10 warriors.
Fantastic - love the sportsmanship and respect!!! Leben looked a little shocked and concerned, when telling corner how it felt when that left landed!!!
This is really made for leben...!! Talking about finding a soul mate🤷🏻🤷🏻
I was thinking the same thing, hes found his calling, hes always been a monster fighter, loves to get down
@@ericwood9513 definitely a perfect fit....i was wondering where he was a little while ago !!
He got paid $20 and a bag of doritos
@@DegenerateSpeculatoryeah!!
He poked his enemy in the eye.Not cool. 3:26
He pulled that last punch as he dropped, very sportsman like.
I agree with you 100%. Fighters who follow an opponent to the ground knowing their out of it and can't defend themselves, and they try to get in a couple more punches, MAKES ME SICK.
I agree too but I feel like him being a veteran he just knew he had already won the fight
I agree but tbis is boxing not mma so it would also be a foul for him to have kept strinking once his opponent already sank to the matt
I didn't like how he held his head down and kept hammering his face with upper cuts. Those were cheap shots. He just wanted to finish it fast
@@lukeandre9254 it's part of the sport and not illegal.

Co-main event? How is Chris leben not the main event when he's literally the biggest name on the card
bigbaby8 I thought the same
Great name harry
Bigger name and most exciting debut so far.
Probly cuz they knew he was gonna sleep buddy asap
Leben is a bigger name, but Lobov vs Knight was a bigger fight since we knew both guys love to scrap.
Chris Leben the Ultimate Fighter legend, what a fight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Entertainment during my covid lockdown. Thanks Bare knuckle!
I the lesson is never fight a guy with a head twice the size of your own.
Bigger target hahaha
Mike 1 bigger bones haha

Chris could have hit Justin again as Justin was going down. He chose not to. Discipline and class. "I won. I'm not here to hurt you. It's just a contest. It's not personal."
ReverendTFunk I mean he gave the guy 4-5 uppercuts while grabbing the back of his head. The guy was hurt even before that. There wasn't much more he could've done to knock him out besides kneeing him in the head as he fell lol.
@aljanat5 lol, saw that too.
I’ve loved Chris forever glad to see him doing well
Since the good ol' dayz of "The Ultimate Fighter" (TUF) ... Chris Leben has always been one of my FAVORITE fighters! He has an iron-chin & some solid hands; plus, he has heart ... Initially, he was UNDEFEATED until he lost to ANDERSON SILVA ...
Chris is always someone to watch closely cause it can be lights out fast or a damn good beat down
Chris leben is a real character. I enjoy watching him fight he's got such Flair and tenacity. I hope to see more of him fighting. I really enjoyed him in the UFC as well.

I've always been a fan of the crippler. He was always game tonight anyone and always gave 100%. If I remember correctly he had like 3 or 4 UFC fights in a couple months because he was always ready to fight anyone on short notice when someone would pull out. Seen him take some mighty shots from other fighters and just keep coming after them. Anderson Silva was one of the few that actually stopped Leben via tko.
Chris Leben + Steroids + bare knuckles is a scary combination.
They do have their own category because everyone is juiced to the gills.
