    The good ones roll off the tongue and are at least semi-descriptive of the fighter

    The Axe Murderer
    The Spider
    The Iceman
    The Prodigy
    Rampage
    The Dean of Mean (one of my favorites)
    The Natural
    The Hammer
    G "Rush" St. P is unique
    Cro-Cop

    The bad?

    Huntington Beach Bad-boy (too long, too pro-wrestling)
    Maine-iac (Maniac is a good one, but making it Maine-iac just makes it too hard to understand...then again, unless you see it written down everyone just assumes it's Maniac)
    Little Evil (appropriate, but just sounds so dumb)
    The World's Most Dangerous Man (too long)
    Ken-flo (straight off the local HS football team)

    Minotauro and Minotoro are good nicknames individually but it's so stupid that they have the SAME nickname... #1 and #2 for all I care.

    Tim 'The Barbarian' Boetsch. A man who actually acts like his nickname.

    Yep. MMA has some great nicknames. I think I prefer 'Axe Murderer' over the rest but alot fit the guy so well and have become synonymous with the fighter like 'Ice Man' or 'Natural'.


    After watching the reality series with the wife we now call Dana White, Dana '****ing' White' due his his use of bad language. Never seen him say a sentance without adding at least one '****'.




    I think my least favorite is Mike 'The Count' Bisping. It seems to have nothing to do with him or his family and is pretty much crap. Plus it can be turned to Mike 'The ****' Bisping too easily.

    Another good one is' Relentless' Paul Taylor. Joe Rogan always bangs on about how his nickname suits him.

    He comes from a kickboxing background. He was meant to be on the next London card but had to pull out due to injury.
