Well it’s more than a fitting name since he has a KO with all “8” of his limbs.

Wow.

I always thought it was because he was a expert level Muay Thai practitioner.

8 legs on a spider...art of the 8 limbs Muay Thai

I always assumed he inherited the nickname from legendary middleweight Anderson Aldo. Kind of like how Ronda got Roddy Piper's blessing to use the 'Rowdy' moniker.

Always thought it was in reference to Muay Thai's art of 8 limbs.

Wasn't there a French Spiderman also?

Dunno, man. I don't want to Google it first and then act as if I'm an expert on spidermen . But I'll look it up.

Can't wait 'til Indiana Jones is a chick (which some already called for). I'll be curious how they will be able to tell apart Lara Croft from....her.

Oh, my good man, silly me. THAT spider-man. Good one .

Would have to ask his wife. He needs the blue pills though so I’m not so sure.
