UFC veteran Chris Leben picked up his first win since 2011 at last nights “WBKFF1: Rise Of The Titans” event, defeating Phil Baroni by way of first-round TKO.<\/p>\n

“The Crippler” connected with a crisp punch that stunned Phil Baroni just seconds into the opening round. Shortly after that, \u201cThe New York Bad Ass<\/a>\u201d charged forward with a flurry but Chris Leben was able to land a beautiful counter left hand that sent Phil crashing face first into the canvas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Long Island native, Baroni, would attempt to get back to his feet but the referee had already seen enough and called a stop to the action.<\/p>\n

Shortly following his first victory in almost eight years, Chris Leben took to his official Instagram page where he issued the following statement for his fans.<\/p>\n
