Fighters with nicknames that make no sense anymore

[felmmando]

His original nickname was Borrachinha, which means "Rubber", not Eraser.

You're saying we mistook it for the wrong kind of rubber?

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Elvis “the King of Rock and Rumble” sinosic

might have been king of cans for a bit

 

[TR1]

Silva was never a spider.

Both have flimsy legs, so it makes sense.

 

[g*r*b]

Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez

Should be Diego "Hallucination" Sanchez now.

 

[Hypetrainofthemonth]

Both have flimsy legs, so it makes sense.

Saddly
Ruthless Robby & The Natural born killer Condit

After Robbie finishes his Mike Perry fight (win or lose) I would love to see him rematch Condit.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I’m pretty sure Wanderlei Silva does not murder people with axes

Only "pretty" sure though. You can never really be sure.

Keith “the dean of mean” Jardine

FTFY

 

[Colemanstove]

Rawdog makes sense.

"The Prodigy" BJ Penn

I'm not sure about that. Being a "Prodigy" means you excelled at something with little or no prior experience but possessed a natural gift for it.

This still accurately describes BJ Penn, especially considering he got that nickname by going from someone who had never stepped foot in a BJJ gym to the first American World JJ Champion within 3 years.

 

[gevoudane]

If Bones moves to HW he'll need a new nick.

 

[DS66]

Court "The Crusher" McGee

He's gone an entire decade (15 fights) without getting a finish.

Keith “the dean of mean” Johnson

Well played my friend.

Looking at your join date I'm surprised you didn't get the joke there dude.

That is a common misunderstanding of his nickname. He doesn't murder people with an axe. In his previous job as a lumberjack his technique was so bad he was always breaking his axe. Here is a photo of the last time Wandy worked as a Lumberjack. He was let go that day as it was costing too much to keep making him new axe handles.

Wonder boy.

This hurts me deep as a Wonderboy fan but I can't really deny it.

After Robbie finishes his Mike Perry fight (win or lose) I would love to see him rematch Condit.

Would you rather see that or the Matt Brown fight?

I think Condit if I can only see one.

Sorry I didn't. Still don't. Is there a Keith Johnson that was confused with Jardine?

 

[Jone Jons]

Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez

actually .... it's fine

 

[boss429]

No. It was a classic Goldberg line saying how the nickname wouldn't work if his last name was Johnson instead of Jardine, haha.
