So I must say that Diego is an amazing fighter bar none. He has a great pace, never quits and is always in exciting fights, including the one that he just won against kampmann. Having said this I will also say that he is a bit off. I mean the yes cartwheel? and also what's with him changing his name to the dream? I'm a big nerd around nicknames for fighter's (hence why i started that thread about giving jon fitch a nickname) but diego had a great nickname in nightmare because he was a nightmare of a fighter for his opponents. The final weird thing was the song he chose to walk out to (la bam ba? seriously?!) i know i'm just saying this to be difficult but the guy is a bit off his rocker but man can he kick ass though

I think the Nightmare is a better nickname by far. I would figure it meant because he was a nightmare for his opponents. He has something against the name now. I he was going to dump the name he shouldn't of replaced it with something so bad.

No it doesn't and I don't agree with fighter's changing their nickname either, unless it goes from a crappy one to a better one or it's what the fan's call them. For instance Randy Cotoure The Natural, but people call him Captain America as well.
