My favorite would be Rampage for of course Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. My least favorite (which is what prompted me to make this thread) Lil' Heathen for Jeremy "Lil' Heathen" Stephens. I just think it stinks I mean being a fighter why would you want to be a lil' anything? So whats your best and worst nicknames in MMA?

i think lil heathen actually works and its actually something guys gave to him and  not the  UFC.  I think the worst one is twinkle toes and the best is definatly wand, the axe murder

Grey was originally called "decision" Which I think fits him better.

I saw "Thunder Kitten" when I was making my picks and almost lost it.

"Rush" is still probably my least favorite nickname.

if he came out to the rock group "rush" intro music i would like it, but he does not. rush is a canadian power trio too. one of my favorite bands. if diaz was clever he would come out to the intro music of "rush" maybe a song called " the trees". its about how the oaks and maples don't get along. they are made equal by hatchet, axe and saw. anybody else like that or can mention another rush song?

One of my least fav's (don't know if it's been mentioned) is Brandon "The Truth" Vera.  The truth is, he's not all that good!
