I think the best have to be:

Rampage Jackson
Shogun Rua

Both fighters get referred to as their nick names as if its whats on their birth certificate, while a lot of other fighters obviously get mentioned by their nick name, these two literally live by it.

The worst ones for me are:

Twinkle Toes (Trigg) - Just awful, simply awful.
"Darth" Bader - Plain doesn't work.
Daddy Stevenson - Really dislike this one
Ace Franklin - Just because he looks a little bit like him? which he doesn't, we'd be better off calling Kenny Florian Zoolander.

The Flying Gent · Post #8 » by **The Flying Gent** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 2:57 am

Come on guys, no mention of Cro Cop, and only one mention of The Axe Murderer? Bad showing!

Those two are good, and i generally prefer the not too showy ones like Rush or Spider as well.

Not MMA, but I've always loved Remy Bonjasky's The Flying Gentleman. So much so i totally ripped it off and made it my new handle recently.

Me > originality.

People think "The Dean of Mean" is a good knickname? Really?

Rampage, Shogun, The Axe Murderer, The Prodigy, The Spider, etc are clearly some of the best.

Some I think are good that haven't been mentioned yet:

Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen
Tatsuya "Crusher" Kawajiri
Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares (no clue what it means, but I think it sounds cool)
Junior Dos Santos "Cigano" (another one I just think sounds cool, though I think it's because he looks like some Brazilian soap star or something, which brings it down a notch)
Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro
"Sugar" Rashad Evans (not too original, but I like it)
"The Phenom" Vitor Belfort
Nate "The Rock" Quarry
Chris "Lights Out" Lytle
MINOWAMAN!!

Worst:
Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz
Krzysztof "The Polish Experiment" Soszynski
Ben "Killa B" Saunders
Dustin "McLovin" Hazelett
