JUSTIN LEVENS, SARAH MCLEAN-LEVENS: Murder-Suicide Possible, Says Police

Former UFC fighter Justin Levens and his wife, Sarah McLean-Levens, were found dead in their Laguna Niguel, Ca condominium yesterday.

Both had been shot in what appears to be an apparent murder suicide.

Justin was 28, his wife, 25.

Levens fought with but eventually left UFC in 2006 before moving onto the Fight League and MMA organization.

He also fought the late Evan Tanner, the UFC fighter who died earlier this year while on a desert expedition.

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - A mixed martial arts fighter and his wife were found shot to death in a Laguna Niguel condominium in what authorities said was an apparent murder-suicide.

The bodies of Justin Levens and his wife, Sarah McLean-Levens, were found Wednesday afternoon, Orange County sheriff's officials said. The 28-year-old Levens competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and other organizations. Levens hasn't fought in UFC or WEC since 2006, and one of his losses that year was to Evan Tanner, who died on a desert trip this year.

Levens also fought in the now-defunct International Fight League.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said the couple was found by the woman's mother, who called 911.
