Which fighter has the best nickname?

I think it has to be Hitomi Akano - "Girlfight Monster"

The DEAN OF MEAN, Keith Jardine.

Only because it rhymes

Worst Nickname - "Pitbull" It isnt very original and its trying too hard to be badass...

I like ones that are a nickname for a reason not just to sound 'ard as nails

"The Gracie Hunter" is a great one because he kicked the gracies asses!
"The Flying Gentleman" Bonkjasky, Its so fitting!
"The Axe Murderor" Because you all knew id pick Wandy!
"The Last Emperor" Its just cool sounding

I think Babalu is funny, he was called it for Chewing the gum!!

"the running man" Kalib starnes... shame that one isnt official!

Giva "The arm collector" Santana, 11 of his 13 wins are via armbar

Ben, the worst one ever is Thomas "The Tank" Egan. Especially since he weighs about 150!

The best? I've always like Minotauro and Minitouro personally. And Shogun is a pretty cool one too.

I think 'Ace' is good, especially when he was champ. Nice and simple. When I first heard it I thought it was just self congratulatory, which is fair enough when you're top of your division, but when I realised it was the Jim Carrey connection it seemed even better becasue there was another layer of reason behind it.

It's much badder to have no nickname at all and just kick the shit out of everyone though, like GSP. (Let's skip over the 'Rush' bollocks, I'm pretty sure he's phased that out).

Frank "twinkle toes" Trigg lol

You have got to love that name lol Frank Trigg is the dude.



I also like, Dana " the shiny shite " White.

Oh and let`s not forget Sexyama

Timmeh?

" THE ICEMAN "

I think the best nicknames are ones where a fighter simply becomes known as whatever their nickname is. Shogun, Minotauro, Cro Cop, Kid, Mach, Rampage all spring to mind.

Another I really like is Masakazu Imanari's nickname - Ashikan Judan - which translated means "10th Dan of Leglocks".

And even though I don't believe it's an official nickname, love the name Dream has tagged onto Alvarez - "American Knuckle-star".

Marius "Whitemare" Zaromskis is pretty good.

A couple I like:



Anderson "The Spider" Silva

I think his nickname is very fitting

Why?

because:

Spiders are scary, venomous creatures
Anderson has long limbs
A muay thai practitioner has 8 weapons~a spider has 8 legs




Gabrial "Napao" Gonzaga

I had thought that this nickname was something like the Spanish for Napalm bomb.

It literally translates as "Big Nose", which would possibly be the worst knickname ever. "C'mon big nose Gonzaga!".

Thankfully that's not what it means.

'Napao' is a common expression in Brazil," said Gonzaga's jiu-jitsu coach, Marco Alvan. "It means you have a sixth sense; you smell what's about to happen. Gabriel is always anticipating, always ahead of his opponent. That is how he became Napao."

So its still a pretty cool nickname i reckon.

speaking of the best types of things-Sunthunder-that's possibly the best avator I've seen

To be fair though, Thiago Alves and Arlovski are both pretty tough guys(except for AA's chin of course), you wouldn't pick a fight with them!


Worst nickname is "The Grim". Fucking Ridiculous!

His Defence is "Grim" So its pretty fitting!!
