Did anyone else notice this?

The whole fight, I couldn't stop saying how Leben looked so similar to Evan Tanner. The Braids, the facial structures, the increased bulk... I just thought it was crazy.

A little dirty considering Evan is dead, but you are still absolutely right.

Except that Tanner was a pretty cool dude, and Leben is kind of a douche. But yeah, I kept thinking "Is Leben trying to look like Tanner?"

I agree, thought the same thing. Not sure if it was the cornrows, the beat up face or the similar body but there was a real resemblance.

I was also reminded of Evan looking at Chris last night. Also I have never seen Chris looking more ripped than he did last night. I find myself really becoming a fan of Chris's even though I know he has a long way to go. I think that if Chris really starts to focus on his ground game, GnP, and subs, it will benefit him greatly in the future.

In a very old interview I remember Chris saying he considered Evan a personal friend and role model when asked if he would ever fight him. So that may have been a tribute of sorts, or it may have just been what he felt like doing that night, who knows?
