Brazilian nicknames are surprisingly accurate

How about "pin cushion?"

That's a great one!

Cigano means gypsy. He was named that after an actor when he grew his hair out.

Jesus JDS is white as tissue paper

What's Lesnar's? White Gorrilla?

Is Jose "Pele" Landi-jons supposed to look like the footballer?

Maybe their skin colour and facial features are kinda similar, but not really..

6', 250lb, and bald now. But in high school, they called me "Marcy". Big glasses and hair like Marcy from Charlie Brown. Some nicknames just stick dammit.

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Jessica "Bate Estaca" Andrade (Piledriver). You wouldn't think that would fit a woman who fights at 115, but it sure seems to fit her.

I don't know about that but there is an overabundance of pitbulls, cyborgs, and assassins in MMA.
