Mixed martial arts champion Chris Leben was interviewed by the Vancouver Sun and was asked about two other famous alumni of Vallejo (CA) High School. Vallejo is located in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Leben was questioned about who was the most dominant performer in his chosen field, Leben, CC Sabathia of the Yankees or Joey Chestnut of competitive eating fame. 

"To put my name in the same sentence as those guys, unreal," replied Leben. "I would have to say CC Sabathia. I know him personally. What he’s doing in the sport of baseball and I've seen where he comes from. I believe that’s a great feat that he's doing." 

Looking back, we wonder if Leben thought that Chestnut would be the one to eat the most hot dogs.
