Is "Rumble" The GOAT Nickname In MMA?

[bogeyj]

I always like it when someone is known by one single name and everyone knows who they're talking about, like:

"Prince"
"Beyonce"
"Bowie"
"Morrissey"

Anthony Johnson is a very generic and forgettable name, but "Rumble" just sticks and describes his fighting style perfectly. "Rampage" is also a great nickname for the same reasons. I mean, what even is Rampage's first name anyway? dude has only went by Rampage Jackson since forever

“Ruthless” is pretty good as well.

 

[Bubba Kid]

"Sexyama" "The Master"

Boy I hope I’m just missing the sarcasm on that

I prefer multiple word nicknames that aren't even true, like "Hands of Stone".

 

[Luckyme]

Nope, it's Korean Zombie. The announcers and on-screen graphics all use it instead of his real name.

 

[MrCoffee]

Hendo. There will only be one Hendo.

 

[Starman]

Shogun is the correct answer. Rua’s own wife probably calls him Shogun.

 

[ExxA]

No this is.

[Reach4theSky]

War Machine's nickname was so good he officially changed it to his real name..

 

[Palani]

Hendo. There will only be one Hendo.

The measuring stick for a great nickname, is if it becomes another word with a dual definition, like a noun or a verb.
You got hit by a Hendo.
You got Hendo'd.
Yep. That qualifies.

 

[Mike Pettus]

The Axe Muderer.

 

[OmegaRugal]
