FIGHTER!!! The Chris Leben Inside Story Part 3 in 4K

The Chris Leben Story follows 'The Crippler' as the UFC Legend trained for his comeback fight against Phil Baroni at WBKFF 1.  

See firsthand the changes and sacrifices that Chris made in order to prepare himself for his victory against 'The New York Badass'.  Chris works and trains out of the San Diego martial arts gym The Arena 

We see Chris Leben behind the scenes training, see his family life as he preps for his first bout back after being diagnosed with a serious heart complaint.  Yes, see him skate boarding with his son.  Awesome.

In the two years since being diagnosed, he's forgone the destructive lifestyle that he was publicly known for, become a family man, and adopted a strict protocol of herbs and supplements that's reversed his heart disease.  Amazed with his progress, doctors medically cleared him to fight for the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation taking on former UFC slugger, Phil "The New York Badass" Baroni. In this 3 part series is an up close look as Chris Leben continues his "fighter" storyline inside the ring, and more importantly in his life outside.

What training does he undertake to get back in shape?  How does he stay focussed?   How can he train, compete and heal his damaged heart?  

November 9, 2018 Chris fought fellow UFC-alum Phil Baroni in the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation's 'Rise of the Titans' in Casper,
Wyoming.  He won, and won convincingly.  What happens next?

'The Crippler' was diagnosed with a severe heart condition that forced him into retirement, and he fought his way back into the ring with the help of his trainers at The Arena Gym in San Diego, CA.

Fighter: The Chris Leben Story will follow Chris as he prepares to make his comeback and show what this MMA legend's life is like outside the ring; we meet his partner Brittany and young son Liam.
