After 12 years and a UFC record 22 middleweight fights inside the Octagon, Chris Leben is calling it quits. "The Crippler" appeared on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour to make his announcement official.

"It's been a fantastic, wonderful ride," Leben said. "I've landed more strikes than anybody out there. Definitely highs and lows, ups and downs, but I think I'm starting to realize that, for me, it might be time to make that transition away from competing and get more on the coaching side of things.

"After [UFC 168], I wanted to go back and reevaluate things, make sure that the decision wasn't based purely on emotion. That it was really what I wanted to do. And now, yes, I can say, I've really retired from competing in MMA."

Leben, who began his mixed martial arts career in 2002, recently signed on to become a team coach at Victory MMA & Fitness, a state-of-the-art gym in San Diego, CA. He says that while he always felt he was a good fighter, his true skillset lies in coaching.

"I'm 33 years old now, which isn't the oldest for a fighter. But like I tell people, it's not how old you are, but it's how long you've been doing it. And I've been doing this game for quite a while," Leben said.

"I've got a lot of years ahead of me. I would like to still have my head on my shoulders and have a brain when I'm raising kids and doing all the other stuff that I want to be part of. I think it might just be time for me to gracefully bow out."

Acho que tinha lenha pra queimar, quem sabe ir pra outro lugar e tentar mudar o seu jogo.

Guerreiro, mas era um lutador limitado, e teve uma boa carreira.

Maior vitória da carreira do leben e pior derrota da carreira do silva. Desligou o disjuntor nos ganchos do crippler e caiu de cara esborrachada no chão, fedendo....

Escolheu o cara a dedo pra lutar e levou um KOzão bizarro.

Sobre a aposentadoria, o cara já não parecia mais ter nível de competição, pelo menos pra UFC.

Considero uma das piores derrotas do brasileiro.

Leben, ainda tinha lenha para queimar, mas está pequeno para categoria, poderia descer para 77.

Qual seria ainda pior que essa?

Escolheu o adversário e tomou uma surra dessas...
