I just got around to watching the weigh-ins, and as soon as Alex Nicholson stripped off his shirt I went "oh no, not another one..."
How many fighters in MMA sport full-back sets of wings?
The classic example is Benson Henderson's, well modeled and cleverly interacting with the back's anatomy to heighten the sense of relief.
Max Holloway's is distinctive take on the cliche, combining one angel and one devil's wing:
But though I'm sure I've seen at least 4 or 5 more fighters sport them, I can't for the life of me think of their names. Their tattoos were so humdrum in execution that they never stood out to me. I do remember one having "feathers" that look more like curved straps, as if they were strips of metal, and I think one was from the Southern California area, but beyond that I'm drawing blanks.
I appeal to you, capacious trivia-packed minds of the Sherdog Nation — can you tell me who else in MMA is a wingman?
EDIT
From time to time I bump this thread when another winged-back fighter flutters past my sight. This time the bump starts at #80.
