Was watching the fight companion podcast with Yves Edwards...
And he said he was really surprised how many fighters not using their real name!

Example:
Gleison Tibau
...his real or full name is actually:Janigleison Herculano Alves

Thiago Alves:
Thiago Alves d'Araujo

And it is not a secret...that Tank Abbott's real name is actually:David Lee "Tank" Abbott

Wanderlei César da Silva

so there must be more...
You guys got any examples??
(Please...don't come across with Shogun or Cyborg ;) )



I totally forgot about Matt Wiman!
His real name actually is Watt Miman!
