Hong-man Choi should be "big pimpin" with that picture.
cw Says:
With that 'stache Don Frye should be called the 'Sexual Predator'.
Boner Says:
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.
Rich S. Says:
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.
the.glza Says:
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...
The Bloc Says:
who's that chick with the Techno Freak....err.. Goliath ?
cw Says:
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.
Moustachio Says:
That Frye comment was rad.
Popetastic Says:
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
Jeff Says:
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.

Response to "The Bloc":
Don't know her name, but she must have an enormous vagina.
Howitzer Dave Says:
How can you miss the man with two nicks - Minotauro, Big Nog?
Noah Says:
@ 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!
Richie Says:

todd Says:

perkedel Says:
Can Hong Man Choi's head be any unproportionally bigger, please?
Good lord, it's like a freaking Sputnik.
SikSik6 Says:
