The most common thread in any MMA forum. With Diego Sanchez going from "The Nightmare" to "The Dream", I'm bringing back the nickname thread. With that being said, who has the best, and worst, nickname in mixed martial arts.

Best:                                                                 
Stefan "Skysc****r" Struve
Anthony "Showtime" Pettis
Jason "Mayhem" Miller

Worst:
Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia
Kendall "Da Spyder" Grove
Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon

"Joe Silva could call Dan Miller at 3 in morning to tell him he's fighting Godzilla in an hour and he would take that fight."
