Is "The Notorious" the greatest nickname in the history of sports?

[IDGETKTFO]

It's one of the most unoriginal nicknames. Completely lifted from the Notorious B.I.G.

His original nickname was biggie smalls and pdiddy was orginally puff daddy, and money mayweather was originally pretty boy floyd

 

[Babaganoosh]

I always liked Johnny "super size me" Hendricks.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

No, because that name was already used by someone who actually had more notoriety. And there are other names in MMA that are better.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

George "Saint" Pierre is better because it's ironic. Nothing saintly about punching people in the face!

That's not his nickname, that's his actual birth name.

 

[chukutee]

That's not his nickname, that's his actual birth name.

You mean that was the nickname his parents gave him when he was born?

 

[Tavares1988]

Lyoto "the dragon" machida
Come on

 

[illegalnature]

Nothing beats "the axe murderer"
Sorry guys thats just way too violent to be topped. Add to the fact Wanderlei was stomping on people's faces and crazy shit yea....just beats the notorious in every way.

 

[aichokyu]

It's one of the most unoriginal nicknames. Completely lifted from the Notorious B.I.G.

obviously, he didnt wanna stop at tattoos only.

 

[Bagatur]

Brazilians do do it best.

Babalu got his nickname because that was the brand of gum he used to chew all the time as a kid.

Cigano means gypsie because Dos Santos used to have really long hair and his coaches thought he looked like a gypsie.

Jacarr means alligator because if he latches onto a limb, it's gone.

and then we have Shogun and Ninja. come on, every nationality has good fitting nicknames and silly goofy ones.

[PivotPunch]

Shogun? Rampage? Cro Cop? Kimbo Slice? These names have become more known than the fighters real names. That's how good they are.
Sugar Ray Robinson, his whole name isn't his birth name but the "Sugar" part has been copied to deacdes throughout the history of combat sports now. That's how good it is

 

[Porradossaurus]

The Janitor is.

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

No. It's probably the single lamest thing about Conor.

Notorious B.I.G. rip off.

 

[aokimasaru]

Sexyama is the greatest nickname.

 

[MiroHa]

The Last Emperor
GOAT fighter, GOAT nickname.

notorious?...

Funnily Fedor doesn't like that nickname.
