5 Awesome MMA-Themed Halloween Costumes

I realize that it’s tough for fight fans to concentrate on anything other than UFC 137 right now, but in case you forgot, Halloween is just a few days away.

It might not be a holiday that makes any sense, but when you’re a kid, it’s pretty sweet that you get to randomly dress up as some sort of character and get a boatload of candy.

While dressing up as a zombie or Charlie Sheen may be the cool thing to do these days, MMA fans are a different breed of person and want to represent their sport at all times.

So for the few of you that haven’t invested the money to make your nose look exactly like Wanderlei Silva’s, here are a few MMA-themed costumes that can impress your friends and confuse your neighbors.

Chuck Liddell

Costume materials: blue shorts, a Mohawk, a sharpie to draw those sweet tattoos on your head. 

Honestly, it’s relatively easy to be any MMA fighter, as all you need is a pair of fight shorts, so you have to think outside the box and choose fighters that people will recognize.

Liddell is one of the most recognizable fighters in the sport's history, and your friends should appreciate this one right away.

And if they don’t, throw an overhand right and leave them lying on the floor while you run around and scream. That’ll show them.

Kimbo Silce

Costume materials: black shorts, unfortunate hair, an epic beard. 

Not everyone can pull off the Kimbo look, but it’s just for one night, so why not?

Unless you’re like me and have the ability to grow an awesome beard in just a few days, then you might have to go out and buy some fake facial hair for this one, but it will be worth it.

I would recommend intimidating all of your friends by running at them and throwing haymakers, but if they have any basic MMA knowledge, then you may want to wear some shin guards. 

Rampage Jackson

Costume materials: camouflage shorts, a big-ass chain. 

Rampage is an easy costume to put together, and it is always a favorite among MMA fans.

The chain is really the entire reason the costume works, and it always look insanely funny, but be warned.

If you do the costume right, that chain is going to weigh about 15 lbs, and by the end of the night, you’re going to have an extremely sore neck.

The upside to this one is that you can howl as loud as you want all night and no one will even ask why.

Georges St-Pierre

Costume materials: Gi, GSP headband, UFC title belt 

Sure, you could dress up as GSP in the Octagon, but it’s way more fun to get in the full walkout attire.

This is by far the most expensive costume on the list, but sometimes you just have to go for it.

Your friends would ultimately get a bit too drunk and challenge you to a fight, but that’s where all your time watching MMA comes in.

Quickly break their orbital with a jab, and then calmly say, “I am not impressed with your performance."

After that, just head to the nearest exit with their girlfriend on your arm.

Dana White

Costume materials: suit, bald head, foul mouth. 

You have to love Dana White and his cocky persona, so why not go to a few Halloween parties dressed as the UFC president?

The costume is as easy to make as it comes, and acting like Dana for a night would be insanely fun.

Verbally abuse random people at the party for making comments you don’t like, get on the karaoke machine with your buddy dressed as Snoop Dogg and spit a few rhymes and you can even get into a confrontation if someone happens to show up dressed as Tito Ortiz.
