MMAJunkie.com reported today that controversial "Ultimate Fighter 1" cast member, Chris "The Crippler" Leben, is behind bars as of late Wednesday evening after being arrested for a parole violation for a previous DUI offense.

The colorful and outspoken middleweight turned himself in to authorities in order to assure that he would get his visa for his upcoming fight at UFC 85 in London, according to a forum post from T. Jay Thompson, ICON Sport President. Thompson expects that Chris will remain in jail for a period of 8 to 10 days.

Leben cannot post bail because of the probation violation, according to a representative from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. Chris is scheduled to go before the judge at 3pm on Thursday.

Leben is scheduled to take on Michael Bisping in the co-main event of the night at UFC 85 "Bedlam" in London on June 7. "The Crippler" has won his last two UFC bouts in a row, most recently defeating Alessio Sakara via TKO at UFC 82 back in March. It only took Leben a little over three minutes to dismiss off the pro boxer with heavy punches in the first round. Previous to that bout, he knocked out Terry Martin at UFC Fight Night 11 late in the third round.

Like many of the previous TUF alumni, Leben has proved that he is more than just a reality show fighter and that he fits in among the ranks of the UFC’s toughest fighters. Although Chris was overwhelmed in his bout with the champion, Anderson Silva, he has since refocused and matured as a fighter, looking better than ever in his last few bouts. He is much more patient now during his fights and takes his time as opposed to just letting his fist fly.
