Fighters with their names tattooed on them...

[Johnny_Knuckles]

As anyone with even the most cursory knowledge of MMA will know, fighters are 100% more likely to have their name tattooed on them, whether this is because of ego, self-promotion or preparation for when that CTE decides to kick in.

Anyway, let's see how many tattoos are in the game.

Nicknames like Pettis' 'showtime' also count.

I'll get us started...

How else are you supposed to remember who you are after CTE

Is it because Ballers get to wear jerseys with their name.

Always wondered why they did that.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Bigfoot has his name tramp stamped on his arm

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Counts as a nickname right?

 

[Reach4theSky]

 

[Dead Kennedy]

MIR has one too...

 

[Buff]

I'm always assume tattoos like that are so that dudes know who they're fucking.

No homo.

Easier to make friends.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

[Beherit]

GSP's tattoo actually means "GOAT" in japanese

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

I know it’s not my body, and I shouldn’t judge since I’ve had friends and even exes tell me how much they hate some of my tattoos...

But man that tattoo is awful...

 

[TheChosenOne]

Surely it's a symbol of some level of white trashness, no?

[BIKES!]

Otherwise they might forget. All fighters are aware of CTE these days
