so many foreign fighter nicknames,

napao = big nose
vai cavalo = go horse
toquinho = tree stump
cigano = gypsy (?)

but what is an el cucuy? i googled and found something about a mythical monster thing but it's so lame that it might not be the basis of the nickname.

el capitan?
 
I always thought it was pronounced "El Cuckoy" up until that UFC countdown lol

I think it's actually pronounced like "El-Coo-Coo-E"

Whatever it actually means, it just sounds stupid.
 
It means Baba Yaga.

Khabib is the one you send to fucking kill the Baba yaga.
 
Its the monster...like what the mythological "Chupacabra" is based off of.

Not a bad name at all. And he's part Mexican. And he looks a bit like a mangy dog, so it works

A Cucuy is a ghost or a bogeyman-like character in Hispanic folklore.

Tony earned his nickname the day he was born.

His mother took first look at him and went "Dio Mio! Santa Maria! El Cucuy!"
 
So he's basically John Wick?

I am not sure. I haven't watched John Wick, yet. Coincidentally, I was about to watch it last night and changed my mind and watched Ben Hur instead. Did I make an incorrect choice?
 
Oh like GSP?

A depiction by Goya. I meant GOATya.
 
It's just something you call yourself to hide the absolute panic, fear and horror you are feeling when you are facing an undefeated bear wrestler.
