Which self-given fighter nickname is the best?

[BigMuffler]

For example

Rory "Ares" MacDonald
Frank "The Legend" Shamrock
Miesha "Cupcake" Tate
Hector "Showeather" Lombard
Corey "Beastin' 25'8" Anderson
Josh "The Warmaster" Barnett

Whose self-anointed moniker is the GOAT?

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

None of the above.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Nick "El Diablo" Diaz

 

[HaikenEdge]

I've always been partial to "Bad Mofo JoJo".

 

[Svithjod]

All of those are awful lol.

 

[Bucleaphus]

Was shogun self given?

If so then that.

 

[BigMuffler]

I've always been partial to "Bad Mofo JoJo".

That is another great.

 

[BigMuffler]

All of those are awful lol.

B-but Ares, The Legend, and The Warmaster are awesome, Cupcake and Showeather are cute, and Beastin' 25/8 is uh... unique! lol

 

[loisestrad]

I must admit that I've got no clue as to which nick is self-given.

 

[Reign009]

So, which is the best nickname of the worst nicknames?

 

[Lorenzo F.]

They all suck, you could make a thread about elite striking and you'd find a way to put Meisha Taint in there.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Cody Garbrandt kind of gave himself the nickname "necktat."

 

[strikezone]

War Machine

 

[ZuffaExecutive]

Sage "No Heart "Northcutt

 

[CereserBr]

Was shogun self given?

If so then that.

He was given his nickname due to his BJJ instructor... He had a GI named Shogun, so the man thought it was a cool nickname, also because of his brother Ninja

 

[BigMuffler]

Sage "No Heart "Northcutt

Ouch.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

War Machine

Prison Machine

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I think we all agreed that "showeather" was terrible.

 

[RiotWyatt]

War Machine

That isn't a self given nickname. It is a self given name.

Unless we're talking about Barnett.

 

[Air Lats]

Beastin 25/8 has it all.

Nothing will ever touch it but the only thing that comes close is "Showeather".

It has a certain inscrutability while still somehow seeming incredibly derivative.

You can't teach that kind of creativity.
