Favorite nickname - Olivier 'Old Barn' Mercier. Yours?

[xaith_bjj]

I like that he references that old saying 'built like an old barn' - and it's true, he is! But also, it shows he's down to earth, and I also like the fact that even though he's canadian, he chose an English nickname.

OK, your turn!

Going with Lewis - Ngannou.... Nothing like seeing the Black Beast vs Predator... Bang.

“Ruthless” Robbie Lawler is the best nickname.

“ill” Will Brooks is perfect. It’s always more cool when the nickname goes before the first name.

It's 'Ruthless' Robbie LAwler?? Are you sure? I thought it was 'Rootless' cuz he used to always change camps alot.

If I recall correcty, he didn’t call himself that prior to TUF. When he unveiled it, which was probably at the finale, or shortly after, it was pretty cringe. Everyone is just used to it now, and he turned out to be pretty damned good so we just accepted it. It’s a very pretentious nickname.

Natural born killer

You may be right. I just remember a clip of him explaining the origin during the finale and it was hard to watch. I don’t remember hearing it during the season. May have to go back and watch. It was definitely one of the shittier seasons.

Another shit nickname that we just accept because a fighter is really good. It’s as bad a J-Lo.

 

[Soul On Ice]

If the nickname doesn't replace part of their real name it ain't that good

"Rampage" Jackson
"Shogun" Rua
Mirko "Cro Cop"
Cris "Cyborg"
"Jacare" Souza
"Cowboy" Cerrone
"Rumble" Johnson
