lol, it's a useless list, i wont use it either but I thought it'd be an
interesting one-off kinda thing to have a look at -- just to confirm that
yes, 90% of UFC nicknames really are gay (i mean what kind of nickname is
"Handsome" !?!?!?!??)

I forgot how much I hated that one. Thanks for the list.
rollman
handsome is a cool nick name though to me... I see it as a pisstake... I
think the more grim ones are stupid.. like 'the axe murderer' is kind of
lame.. why is that considered cool but something like 'the lady rapist'
woudln't be?
The Dude
himself and that is cool

yeah exactly... I remember Kevin Nash was interviewed abotu his WCW 'big
sexy' nick name and he said that he made it up because it was ridiculous and
if you can make up your own nick name then he's gonna make it utterly
ridiculous...

to get everyone's thoughts on this since it has to do with nicknames.
The guys on this list that I really respect are the ones that get
their nicknames from other people. Isn't that what a nickname is all
about. What I am getting at is that it is a little annoying when young
guys come in (good example is last season's Ultimate Fighter show) and
before you even know their name - they want everyone to call them by
their nickname. You can clearly tell that some of them have spent a
lot of time trying to come up with it and a lot of time promoting it.
It seems to take something away from the whole thing. Who knows, maybe
that is the way it is supposed to be...
Oh, one that I am not sure got covered was: Jon “War Machine”
Koppenhaver
