After a nine-month suspension for using steroids, UFC middleweight Chris Leben is soon to return to action. Usually in a situation like that, a fighter would have to worry about negative public reaction to his comeback, but in this case, Leben is likely to be hailed like a conquering hero, as the 29-year-old veteran has the good fortune of returning at UFC 102 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon.
The match itself, however will not be easy; Leben (18-6) will take on former three-time NCAA wrestling national champion Jake Rosholt as a featured bout on the televised card.

Glad to see him back in the cage. Hopefully he can keep it on the feet. Should be a great fight.

Hopefully he gets taken down and gets his lips elbowed off. Then gets cut like he deserves.
Cant see it happening though, I see him scoring a pretty quick K.O.

Glad to see Chris back. He made a mistake by taking steroids and hopefully he is over it and can now move on. I would love to see him get in that cage and get a quick win.

Ditto. At least he owned up to it and didn't use the, "I never knowingly took ____" excuse like most do.

Who's saying it's going to be an easy win?

Roshalt can grind this one out for sure, but equally likely is Leben separating Roshalt's head from his body with a devastating KO. Its hard to say which combatant will be able to impose their game plan, I just hope Roshalt is telling him to go for the take down immediately because Roshalt's striking is painful to watch, hopefully he has sharpened up in that area and become a more well rounded fighter.

Have no fear bro, tell us how you really feel! 
I think this is a dangerous fight for Chris in that he has not done well against superb wrestlers. However if Jake for one second thinks he can stand with Leben then it's over.....fast!

Leben's got a decent sprawl so hopefully he can stuff a few takedowns and keep it standing. Or maybe land a knee on Rosholt's kisser.
