Fighters with nicknames that make no sense anymore

[Get To Da Choppa]

The Huntington Beach Bad Boy

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Beasting 25/8 or Overtime...

Is that even possible to do in Bellator...?

He should update his name to Cory “Underbid” Anderson

"ABC" Amanda Bobby Cooper got married and became Amanda Bobby Brundage: https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Amanda-Bobby-Brundage-138223

Who else has a nickname that made sense at one point, but no longer?

Fedor - "The Undefeated"
Jon "Model Citizen" Jones
Anderson "Good Sport" Silva
Israel "The last panty bender"
Khabib "The Pitmaster"

Kevin 'cub' Swanson
Seems like he would be a full grown carnivorous animal by now.

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

So he was a condom?

Joanna Contender

 

[Sakurabaism]

Fireball Kid. Dude's 40 now.
Maestro. Guy is too high on himself
The Bully. Great run but lost his luster after Edgar III and got knocked out three times in a row.

Silva was never a spider.

Donald Cerrone also isn't a cow or a boy, though he did used to be a boy.





I vote for anything with a stupid spelling, like Kendall Grove being a 37 year old man called "DA SPYDER"

 

[Left Hook Larry]

Takanori "The Fireball Kid" Gomi
He's neither made of fire, nor a kid.
Off topic fun fact, Gomi can be translated to mean trash/rubbish.

I'd point out Barnett stopped using Baby Faced Assassin along time ago, has been The Warmaster since what the late 00's or early last decade?

 

[Do The Evolution]

Love him, but The "Reem" never made any sense. What, really, is a "Reem"?

Thank you for this gem. Although if he was going with generic mma poses should have just gone all in and done the fist.
