I don't think so but I think he would have a problem if the guys nickname was "No For Gay Jesus".

Nick name sure, record nah.

that nicknames awesome loosen up lol

 

[HHJ]

Up there as the worst nickname along with Beastin 25/8 and Violencia de Genero

BEASTIN 25/8 was a great nickname,its just that he didnt come close to livin up to that shit

then dont call anyone black. no one has literal black skin like mr popo.

Looks more like latino heat than African american (the common black?) to me. Not that I care too much.

They already have a "Raw Dog"..... anything is possible

At least it's not "chili dog"

Mr Popo should fight in the UFC

Has a number of submission losses to unranked fighters, so I can see the similarities.

He kind of look like ali abdelazziz, the eyes and the nose. Imagine that nickname and that face ha ha.
But speaking of nick name, Jones used to call himself Sexual chocolate in the past, I havent got over that yet.

Chad Mendes had the nickname money shot and had to change it to money

It's like in Brazil they try to name their kids American last names for their first names like Brunson De La Solo or some bullshit like that lol

BJ Ferguson was signed by the UFC to compete on TUF 14.

UFC has had multiple guys with nicknames like Black Beast, Korean Zombie, the White Mike Tyson, etc, including two different guys nicknamed Vanilla Gorilla (Chase Sherman and Jason Witt) (not to be confused with Darren "the Gorilla" Till or Jordan "the Monkey King" Leavitt)

They had "The Irish Hand Grenade".
That was quite the head in hands moment for a few folk Ulster MMA watchers.
