The Cat Smasher is the greatest unofficial nickname of all time.

That was his original nickname, but the UFC made him change it because they thought people would think it was promoting animal abuse. Leben meant it like "I smashed that cat" like you would say "I smashed that dude" or whatever, but it is hard to tell that from just the nickname or without knowing that is how Leben talks.

Also, I've seen Cris "Cyroid" and Cris "Cryborg" Santos/Justino quite a bit.
