25 UFC Fighters Ready for Halloween

As Halloween draws near, it's only tradition to scare the people around you.

What better way to frighten the ones you love than to throw them inside the Octagon with a UFC showman?

Better yet, how scary would it be to see these guys dress up and act even more crazy?

With that said, assuming Dana White and Joe Silva can book the MGM Grand's banquet room, here are 25 fighters ready to sport some interesting costumes for the UFC's annual Halloween throwdown.

Clay Guida

The Ultimate Warrior

Well, this was pretty easy.

Clay Guida is one crazy dude.

He's erratic in the way he fights, and by the end of the match, his bloody face starts looking like someone splattered on a colorful design.

The only thing separating Guida and The Ultimate Warrior is the championship belt.

Besides that, they actually might be the same guy.  Seriously.

Eric Shafer

Conan O'Brien

It's the read hair, nothing else.

I'm hoping Eric Shafer is sort of funny because that would be pretty awkward to come to a Halloween party as Conan and not be able to get a chuckle out of Brock Lesnar.

Phil Davis

Pink Panther

For some reason Phil Davis likes to wear pink in the Octagon.

Why not continue that trend, build on it and cover his entire body with a Pink Panther suit?

Even if he doesn't pull it off, at least he still has his undefeated record.

Kenny Florian

Ben Stiller

Please look at both of these guys, now.

They may or may not be actually related.

Just like Stiller, Kenny Florian still gets it done even though he's kind of getting old.

However, I'm fairly confident Florian can make a better first impression on his girlfriend's parents than Stiller can.

BJ Penn

Shane Victorino

Enter the Flyin' Hawaiian.

Or better yet, enter the Flyin' Hawaiians.

Just like Victorino, BJ Penn uses his power-speed combo to attack his opponents, making him one of the most versatile fighters in the UFC.

I wonder if Penn can play baseball, or for that matter, if Victorino can fight.

"Rampage" Jackson

Werewolf

Rampage can cut his hair like Mr. T all he wants.  Deep down, he's still howling.

There's no other costume than a werewolf that could encapsulate Jackson's brute demeanor and animal-like instincts.

Forrest Griffin

Chimpanzee

I'm in no way calling Forrest Griffin cute, but this guy here is adorable.

Griffin would honestly blend in if he accidentally fell into a chimpanzee zoo habitat.

That's not a good thing.

Unfortunately for these lookalikes, Griffin usually sports too much of a busted face by the end of his fights to be recognized as a lovable primate. 

Brock Lesnar

Lumberjack

Brock Lesnar lives in the woods, doesn't have a TV in his middle-of-nowhere home (seriously) and rarely shaves his manly beard.

If there was ever a lumberjack copycat, it's Lesnar.

Not to mention he probably cuts down trees for fun in his off time.

Stefan Struve

Gumby

I was so close to dressing Stefan Struve as Stretch Armstrong, but he really isn't that strong compared to other heavyweights.

So, he's going as Gumby.

At 6'11", Struve uses his height to disrupt his opponent's game plan, attacking via leg kicks and long jabs.

I don't know how the green aspect of Gumby comes into play, but let's just say it's because Struve has banked some extra cash from his two Submission of the Night victories.

Roy Nelson

The Blob

Roy Nelson is one big heavyweight.

One that always looks out of shape, but somehow mans up and lasts all three rounds.

Similar to Nelson is the Blob from the X-Men.

He's not overly imposing, nor does he sport a suitable frame for his line of work.

But, with skill and heart, the Blob always finds a way to demolish his foes.

Josh Koscheck

Woodstock

To be honest with you, I had trouble coming up with a suitable Halloween costume for Josh Koscheck.

I was contemplating Eminem, but that's way too cliche.

Instead, "Kos" is going as Woodstock.  And yes, it's because of the yellow curly hair.

Also, similar to Woodstock being Snoopy's sidekick, Koscheck always seems to be playing second fiddle to Georges St. Pierre in the welterweight division.

Sorry, Josh.

Demetrious Johnson

Mighty Mouse

Too predictable?

Deal with it.

Even if Demetrious Johnson's UFC nickname wasn't Mighty Mouse, he'd still be going as Mighty Mouse.

Johnson is quick, strong, uses his size as leverage and always seems to be the fan favorite.

Here he comes to save the day!

Michael Bisping

Dracula /The Count

Yet another Mighty Mouse situation.

Michael Bisping is one ghostly character.  Just when you think he's out of contention and lost forever, he pulls off an impressive victory.

Dracula is strong, but only when he's at his best. 

He originated overseas, only fights at home and loves to go to sleep when fighting Dan Henderson.

Too soon?

Lyoto Machida

The Karate Kid

Lyoto Machida is the real-life version of the Karate Kid.

He may not try to pull of the crane or anything like that, but Machida's karate skills have already won him a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

The Cobras don't want to mess with this Ralph Macchio.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller

Jason Voorhees

What better of a costume to scare you with, my dear.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller has already been recognized as the fighter who comes to the ring wearing a Jason mask, so why not go the extra eight yards?

When tempted to hurt somebody, Miller is one of the scariest dudes around.

He's relentless, doesn't care what he looks like (evidenced by his timely hair coloring) and has pulled off his best impression of a resurrected Voorhees by making his return to the UFC.

Sorry, machete not included.

Brian Stann

Captain America

Randy "The Natural" Couture has already been mentioned as Captain America inside the Octagon, but Brian Stann is actually the real deal.

The former U.S. Marine has supplanted himself as a top contender in the UFC, making the red, white and blue proud.

He serves the people, never crumbles in the face of adversity and seems to always put country before self.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real-life superhero on our hands!

Ryan Bader

Ryan Reynolds

If it wasn't for the last names, I wouldn't be able to tell these guys apart.

I mean, look at the resemblance.

Reynolds is a little smaller, obviously, but Ryan Bader could realistically star in the next Green Lantern movie.

As for Reynolds, I don't think he can last more than 20 seconds in the UFC.

Except if he had the ring, of course.

Dominick Cruz

Kick-Ass

The name suits Dominick Cruz perfectly because that's exactly what he does.

He kicks ass.

Cruz never really crushes his opponents inside the Octagon.  Instead, he brutally tortures them for five rounds until they ultimately surrender.

I'm curious to see how the UFC bantamweight champion handles himself when he eventually meets his rival Punch-Face, a.k.a Michael McDonald.

Ben Henderson

Troy Polamalu

Is it the hair?  Yes, yes it is.

But besides being a poster boy for shampoos and conditioner, Polamalu is the NFL version of Ben "Smooth" Henderson.

Both are at the top of their game and rarely get taken for fools.

The only difference? 

The hardware, baby.

Frankie Edgar

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino

Frankie Edgar does a lot of fist-pumping in his fights, usually to the face of Gray Maynard.

And like the Sitch, Edgar comes from New Jersey, so you know he's not taking any trash-talking lightly.

I don't know about hooking up with Snookie, but the UFC lightweight champion has had his fare share of glory without smooching a meatball.

Yeah buddy.

Jon Jones

Anderson Silva

Jon "Bones" Jones has already does a near-perfect impression of Anderson Silva inside the Octagon, compiling a 14-1 record and winning both of his title fights, so why not continue the trend?

Jones already looks pretty similar to Silva, with his fighting style and lengthy reach, so shaving his head and speaking Brazilian shouldn't be too difficult.

Think about it.  How scary is Anderson Silva, alone?

Now picture two of him at the same Halloween party having some adult beverages.

Yeah, that's what I thought.  I'll meet you in the lobby.

Jose Aldo

Speedy Gonzales

Simply put, you can't catch the fastest man in town.

Jose Aldo is nearly untouchable inside the Octagon, and just like Speedy Gonzales, he always comes out on top.

Georges St. Pierre

Garbageman

At first, I was going to make a Canadian reference for Georges St. Pierre's Halloween costume.

Then, I figured he'll come to the party dressed as Dana White because that would be downright hilarious.

But, after much consideration, following my surprising research found on Wikipedia, St. Pierre will be the UFC's garbageman.

Not for nothing—he was a garbageman back in the day when he needed to pay for school and he currently cleans up the welterweight division on a daily basis.

Only question, what do we tip him?

Anderson Silva

Muhammad Ali

Do I need to explain myself?

Both guys are arguably the best ever to strap it on in their respect sports, and were/are the most dominating threats in the game.

Not to mention that Anderson Silva, just like Ali, has had his fare share of standing over KO'd opponents.

"I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington"—Muhammad Ali

I guess it's fair to assume that Jon Jones is Silva's brother.

Dana White

Kingpin

You are how you act, and Dana White is a bona fide kingpin.

The guy eats, breathes and sleeps business.

If there's fight to be made and money to be had, you better bet White is behind it.

He may not be the vicious villain that Kingpin is, but he still poses a serious threat as the boss of the UFC.

Happy Halloween!
