MEANING OF FIGHTER NICKNAMES???

Forum Brethren,

It has been quite some time since the good Baron has allowed you laddies to bask in the scintillating radiance of my prose, however there is a most confounded conundrum that has this bloody Baron baffled blast it...

What the devil is the meaning behind all of these ruddy fighter chappies "nicknames"??? I mean really come on now...

Twinkle toes.

The Iceman

The Natural. (Is this a reference to Couture's stance against steroids?)

Mr International.

The Worlds Most Dangerous Man

The Filfy streets'ah London, Lee Murray.

The Babyfaced assassin.

The Native American Assassassin. (What on earth?)

The croation sensation.

Macdonalds Danzig (Naming himself after a combination his favorite meal, and singing artist)

Cro Cop.

Tape_Lord.

Minotauro/Minotoro.

The Zen Machine.

Giant Ochai.

"The Twister" Eduardo Braveaux (I do declare, wasn't this maneuver originally invented by one Larry Zybizsco?)

The Monster.

Beau Troll.

The Law/Lindlass/Landland

Tony Ciazzo: Above the Law.

And so on...I mean there are literally thousands of them out there, and for what mind you? What on earth is the ruddy point of them? Who authorized their usage? Some such as Mark "The Hammer" Coleman are hardly unique...

Other fellows such as Wanderlei Silva and Phillip Baroni have a different nickname for different continents, what in the blazes?

US: The Axe Murderer. Brazil: Mad Dog Silva.

US: The NY Badass. Japan: The NY Muscle Hammer (I say, is this some sort of reference to a close fondness with Mark Coleman?)

Then you have the chaps who share the same nickname such as
Elvis Schembri and Elvis Sinosic, The Huntington Beach badboys Tankard Abbott and Jacob Ortiz.

Chavvies such as Jerimiah Horn, who has publicly stated "I don't like nicknames, I think they're gay and I don't want one." seem to share a hatred of nicknames along with chaps such as Matthew Hughes.

What do you lads think? Perhaps some of the green named laddies could chime in with their valued opinion...what is the meaning behind your nickname?

There's a number of good laddies now isn't there...

The Brigadeer Baron Von Beatdown of Beeftown Esq.

"The Predator" Don Frye & one John Levenson...

The state of AZ isn't big enough for both of these chaps...

The Baron.

The Baron.

I agree with THE BARON..... heck, even announcers give themselves nicknames, can you imagine that,like remember Ferdie Pacheco, " THE FIGHT DOCTOR", and then there is some guy who used to announce over in China or something, he was known as .......

THE FIGHT PROFESSOR

What in the blasted blazes does the BARON thinks of this bedeviled bodacious batch of bewitchment.

waits to bask in more of the Baron's thoughts :o)

"Tank" was taken from Abott's childhood hero, David Render, who served in the US. army during WWII as a Tank driver and destroyed 8 German Tigers during the war.

I AM DEADLY SERIOUS

It hurts Tank's toughman image saying his nickname was from his childhood hero, so SEG changed the story for the purpose of marketing

Tank's name comes from Tank Murdock(Walter Barnes), the guy that Philo Bedow(Clint Eastwood) fights in "Every Which Way But Loose".

Lee Murray's nick name is lightning not filthy streets of London sunshine

Eddie Bravo's nickname "The Twister", was given to him by the man, Jean Jaques Machado himself when Eddie used to train at his Beverly hills school. Eddie was trying to figure out how to set-up him soon-to-be signature, which he learned in high school wrestling, but it was called the "wrestler's guillotine" or some sh*t like that. Anyways, Jean Jaques would ask him every time he came in to train, "how's the twister move coming?" until he just started greeting him by saying, "hey twister!". When he started to compete, the name just kind of stuck, people started chanting it, and the rest is MMA history.

ttt for more intriguing insight from the forum brethren...
