Only if this will be his new walkout song

This is proof the inbreeding stunts the brain, not one original thought with this one.

What eagle is all day on the ground grappling?
Terrible generic nickname.

Little Eagle soars again,
I still miss Mike Goldberg

I don't know... don't let it become common like 'The Pitbull' or ' The Assassin', you know?

Variations of "Viking" are grossly overused and painfully cringe too.

I did some research a while back and there are 86 fighters with some variation of Viking in their nickname on Sherdog Fight Finder.

And... Are you ready for this???..... 554 fighters with the nickname Pitbull

Terrible generic nickname.

It's the symbol of their republic.
Just like Chechen fighters being named Borz (Wolf)

Well you are thinking a little too literally.

Umar "Tweety Bird" has a better ring to it

Find your own nickname or no nickname at all.

I don't know... don't let it become common like 'The Pitbull' or ' The Assassin', you know?

Tapology finds 66 fighters with an "Eagle" nickname (or last name, if possible) against 78 for "the pitbull", not that rare, lol.

Just Do It
Just Eagle

Sounds like fighting words in the land of Dagestan

We are like birds brotha, big but very light.
Weight cutting skills brotha.
