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?

there are too many good ones out there but now that he has two loses in a row and just got beatdown by george roop i would have to say josh "the fluke" grispi is not a good nickname to have when your losing. ian "uncle creepy" mccall sounds bad but also could be considered good in a bad way if that makes sense.

Fat Guy is a pretty bad one. Batman fails as well. Korean Zombie ftw!

I'm with Pepino. Twinkle Toes is the worst nickname and I think even Trigg hates it.

Axe Murderer was a pretty badass nickname. Rampage also was good. Lil Evil had a catch to it. I also came across No Love and Skullman which made me chuckle.
