Fighters that live up to their nicknames

[Ogata]

Which fighter lives up to their nickname the best?

Due to recent news, I noticed that Lee "Lightning" Murray has the perfect nickname because he lives up to it as perfectly as possible. He really is a lightining.

Conor McGregor: known as the notorious. Often times the term is a form of infamy but its an infamy that is well respected. He has lived up to it earlier but recently his behavior is more silly than notorious. But still a well fitted nickname.


Joe "Diesel" Riggs: Not in the UFC anymore but back in his heydays, he had amazing cardio+ hit super hard and diesel goes well with his last name.

Karo Parisyan: At one point, he brought the heat. Most people forgot but it was a good nickname for him at one point.

Pre-Serra he was finishing fighters left and right. Dude was an animal. His fight with Jay Heroin made him look like he was already a world champion.

Petr No Mercy Yan

I thought of him as some demi-god who does 100 man kyokushin kumite on daily basis for warm up. I thought he was some crazy super human. The Serra loss felt weird, not shocked but it felt not something that is part of reality.

The octagon was his net. When they closed the door, you were trapped with a man who moves like Neo in the matrix.

That loss dissapointed me cos GSP panicked.

Good on him that he was able to get mentally stronger and learn from that loss. That couldnt have been easy.

I'll throw in Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedov. High flying above his division, his eyes firmly set on farther goals than the runt prey.
