Can Hong Man Choi's head be any unproportionally bigger, please?

Good lord, it's like a freaking Sputnik.

@ 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!

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.

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 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.

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...

i used to make jokes about Monson.. saying that "The Iceman" was taken.. so he had to use "The Snowman"
