A legend--when?

Can I confess that I watched "Ultimate Fighters" on Spike TV last night? The commentator referred to one combatant (a jujitsu specialist from Japan) as "a legend before his time."

Google has 144 hits for "legend before his time" (some of them, perhaps, intended ironically); 52 for "legend before its time"; 19 "their"; 16 "her"; 16 "our"; 11 "your."
