Hong-man Choi should be “big pimpin” with that picture.
March 14th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
With that ’stache Don Frye should be called the ‘Sexual Predator’.

Wow, nearly every time just before i clicked that link, i thought to myself, “please don’t let it be this” and BOOM it was.
March 14th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
ok, cw, that was freakin’ hilarious!!
the sexual predator.. hahahaha..
idk..
i used to make jokes about Monson.. saying that “The Iceman” was taken.. so he had to use “The Snowman”
lol.

american psycho is one of the worst nicknames ever. just psycho is fine — wtf! am i alone on this?
i’m not real crazy about axe murderer either — just murderer is fine… we don’t use axes in ufc so that deserves another wtf.
the others are fine…
cyborg ftw…
March 14th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
who’s that chick with the Techno Freak….err.. Goliath ?
March 14th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I always thought the ’snowman’ nickname was a reference to cocaine, but I guess Monson does kinda look like a snowman… big old bald white head and a broken carrot for a nose.

That Frye comment was rad.

Nicknames are lame as hell. You have to have a really good one for it to stick. I can count on one hand how many guys I actually refer to by their nicknames. And fortunately for Cage Potato’s judgment, all three of them are on this list:
Rampage
Shogun
Cyborg

I think Kimbo Slice should be on the list, seeing as how it’s a nickname.
I agree with Wanderlei’s nickname being #1, he definitly got the pick of the litter.
And lastly thank you for not putting “the ice man” on the list.

what the fuck is a “muscle shark” ?
March 14th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
the google image linked to the Boogeyman Dean Lister is the best ever

Response to “The Bloc”:
Don’t know her name, but she must have an enormous vagina.

How can you miss the man with two nicks - Minotauro, Big Nog?

@ Popetastic,
What about Renato “Babalu” Sobral? Almost everyone I know just calls him Babalu and I’d be surprised if some of them actually knew his real name!

March 17th, 2008 at 1:07 am
Can Hong Man Choi’s head be any unproportionally bigger, please?
Good lord, it’s like a freaking Sputnik.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:25 am
I think it’s time we officially changed it to Don “To Catch a Predator” Frye.
