"I'm not sure what in Levens' background may have led him to this, but with the MMA we're not exactly dealing with your typical athlete. Another fighter at the Affliction event, Sergei "The Pit Bull" Arlovsky, is featured on his web site with vampire fangs."
-- Rick Chandler, Associate Editor of Deadspin.com. Emphasis mine. In fairness to Chandler, he treated the Levens' story with the grace and maturity it requires, although I have no idea what the atmospherics of mouthpieces has to do with Levens' personal struggles with depression and mental illness.
For those who are regular readers of BE, Rick Chandler should be a familiar figure (here and here and here).
