Good - The Natural Born Killer, The California Kid, The Irish Hand Grenade, Ace, The Hammer, The Predator, El Guapo, The Natural, American Psycho, Shogun, Ninja, Babalu

Bad - Hands of Steel, Mr. Wonderful, The Barn Cat, H2OMan, The Janitor, The World's Most Dangerous Man, Fancy Pants, The Maineiac, The Dentist, New York Badass, The Dragon, Gumby, El Dirte, Snowman

Blasphemy.

yeah on franks nick name he has had that for as long as i have heard of him. I think he painted his toes in college and had that at OU. In the early days at USA stars he would come from out west and evan tanner would be there also. frank was twinkle back then and he had a mean streak for sure.

Josh "Kos" Koscheck is a pretty bad one.

KOS is horrible

I actually like "Rumble" even though he sounds like he should be "Rampage's" tag team partner

The Dragon is a bad name? That one is as cool as Shogun and Ninja. And it fits Machida perfectly.

Yeah I kind of struggled with whether to put that on the good or bad side. It's not my favorite, though.

was waiting for these to be added to the good, why dont you like WMDM? fact he lost it when most people knew the nick name? I would say Ken and Chucks have the most known nick names for bad or good

I just think it's a stupid nickname. It's to damn long and it just doesn't sound good IMO.

Don't tell Phil but anyone who has badass in their nickname has vanity issues...so it fits him perfectly I guess.

Minotauro!!!!!!

Nothing is more Lame then the barncat

El Guapo # 1 for sure, or is it #2

How ironic is this
before leaving UFC and going to WWF do you know what Kens nickname was???????

The Rock

He went to WWF and Vince came up with Worlds Most Dangerous Man, it stuck

funny he was the rock before WWF and WMDM after

"The Dragon" is a good nickname

Im impartial to it, doesnt bug me but not one of the best ones out there

I was on UFC.com looking at the GSP vs. Hardy card. Some black fighter I've never heard of is on the undercard...his nickname? Shonuff the Master.

Found another one that's horrible.


Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm

Most have been covered and Bigs list looks eerily simiar to mine in many ways, but...

Best for me...
Keith "The Dean Of Mean" Jardine (Just works, even if lately he hasn't)
Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva (I mean come on... How badass and original is that?)
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (To the point and badass)
Jens "Lil Evil" Pulver (Almost anything evil works as a badass nick)
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos (Cyborg just sounds tough)
Jason "Mayhem" Miller (Pretty cool and fitting for such a weird dude)

Iceman is popular, but it makes me think of the awkward volleyball scene in TopGun. Pitbull is pretty cool, but how many people have it? Not very original.


And the worst...
Joe "The Ho Bag" Bochenek (Did he self gloss after or before going 0-10?)
Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz (Gay male stripper?)
Kenny "KenFlo" Florian (Sounds like a male hairdresser... Not that there's anything wrong with that)
Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki (MMA Isn't porn dude)
Frank "Twinle Toes" Trigg (Almost as gay as KenFlo)
Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory (Barn cat?... Really?)
Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm (Again, just a little gay)
Jeremy "Gumby" Horn (Barney, the purple dinosaur wasn't available?)

There's more out there like: The Angry Hick, The Pink Pounder, Hillbilly Heartthrob, The Space Monkey, Ash Cream Man, The French Tickler and some other pathetic efforts that all make the list... And of course I'll ruffle some feathers by saying that The World's Most Dangerous Man is lame... I'd be on board for a change to World's Most Beatable Can though...

Not a fan of the "Dean of Mean" or "Cyborg" just never liked em

Some people may not like this, but....

"The Dreamcatcher" is on the worst list

I agree, just awful

Lodune "The Vanilla Gorilla" Sincaid

I remember a "Gimme ya lunch money" nickname froma thread about a year ago. That one is awesome. Da Spyda is always right next to J-lau and kenflo as worst.
