I dislike him so maybe that's why I didn't think of him =)

I'm still wondering where Tapology gets some of their nicknames.

I didn't include Carwin in my list because Tapology refers to him as "The Engineer" for some reason.  I haven't heard him announced as such in any of his fights or seen that nickname listed on his profile any main websites.

I know he was an engineer before he was a fighter, but c'mon...

@kaonohiokala that's a good point I don't really see anywhere else that has "The Engineer" as his nickname either

@gregory any ideas on where his nickname came from?

@kaono, Im pretty sure when he first started out Carwin's nickname was "The Engineer". Now I think its like GSP's "Rush". Its still technically their nicknames but they dont use them anymore.
