Chris Leben vs. Kalib Starnes Set For UFC 71

The following is a new message by Chris Leben from his official MySpace blog:

Hey, what's up Myspace fans?

It's been a while, but here's what I've been up to. Nothing's signed but the word is I'm fighting Kalib Starnes in May. I'm really excited about the fight and I'm pumped to be getting back in the cage. I took last month off to get a bit of tattoo work done, snowboard, ride dirtbikes, relax – so I was ready to get back to training. I've been hitting the gym like crazy, splitting my time between AMC and Team Quest and I've been staying away from alcohol completely as I'm sorting out some past issues. The support from everyone has been fantastic and I will be at an MMA show in Kentucky at the end of the month – check back for more info! Thanks for the support!

– Chris “the crippler” Leben

The main event of UFC 71 will be the rematch between Chuck Liddell and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, for Liddell's UFC Light Heavyweight title. For more information on that match, click here.
