I watch the fights, but there are only a couple of MMA fighters that I really follow these days. I've got years worth of UFC fights on VHS that I need to transfer to DVD or digital format pretty soon.

That's cool. Why do you need to transfer them soon? Are the tapes deteriorating?

Don't forget the Babyfaced Assassin Josh Barnett

Peter Aerts' nickname is fitting though as he could chop down a tree with leg kicks

I have always thought Louisiana fighter Rich Clementi had one of the better ones, and the fact that people called him "No Love" long before he was ever a fighter makes it better

JC "ginja ninja" Pennington gets consideration

Pat Barry used to be "smiling pat" at one time, and before that he was "pizza boy" because he worked at dominoes and they sponsored him to walk out wearing his work uniform

I always liked No Love myself.
anything with pitbull or assassin is overdone.

I don't see Ace as being that bad as it probably started from some guy in a gym calling him Ace and it stuck.

The ones that are obviously forced and contrived are the worst. Phil "Mr Wonderful" Davis. Sounds like a WWF character.

That's much better than choosing it because you think it's totally badass.

Alan "the Talent" Belcher is pretty bad.

You can't choose your nickname.. That is gay as frick and everyone laughs at you if you did



The coolest nicknames that were earned are always the ones that don't have something like "the" in front or try to sound overly badass

Kenny "so tough" stevens earned his nickname, and "so tough" isn't particularly appealing phonetically.

"crazy" tim Credeur is seriously not completely right in the head, and it fits.

"bone" sayavongsa got his name because no one could pronounce his first name

Joe Lauzon rebelled against "Creepy Joe" but IMO that was him.

Chris leben had a cool, original nickname "the cat smasher" because he used to always say "I'm gonna smash this cat"

Then he got famous and changed it to some retarded cliche shite.

Spencer fisher is "the king" because the dude tries to emulate Elvis pressly as often as possible

Carlo prater is "neo" because, like the movie character, he was the one. For those that have doubts, the absolute best fighter in the gym at anyone's practice is always carlo prater. He Just can't put it together in the cage


Joachim Hansen looks like "hellboy"

Vanderlei doesnt even like to be called "the axe murderer"

Cole miller is a skinny dude, hence "magrinho," which means that In portugese

Robby lawler wanted to be called "gladiator" but it never stuck. "ruthless" was way more fitting

Josh neer is called "the dentist" because he literally knocked all the front teeth out of one of his opponents before the UFC after telling him he was gonna knock his fricking teeth out

I don't think any name can be worse than, "The Promise Ring"
