New and Alternate Nicknames for UFC Fighters

Practically all the fighters in MMA have a nickname. Some don't, but the ones who do, tend to have stories and reasons behind their given names. This is just a handful of fighters with suggested new nicknames that suit their personality and past.

Leonard “The Karate Kid II” Garcia 

Remember in Karate Kid II, they had that drum-like object they rubbed back and forth with their hands? Garcia seems to take after that style.

Forrest “The Caveman” Griffin 

Go check out Forrest’s books, especially his latest. Like "Geico," he will also save you money on years of counseling and therapy, since his books are filled with knowledge for life. Not to mention he keeps it hairy.

Antonio “Piggybank” Nogueira 

Go watch a fight of Big Nog’s and wait for a camera shot of his back. Might lose a hand in there.

Clay “The Donor” Guida 

Guida seems to guarantee two things in his fights: They will be exciting, and he will end up bleeding probably within the first few minutes. An alternate would be "Da Vinci," since he has certainly painted those canvases much more than others. He would be the best choice aside Griffin for "The Caveman."

Phil “26 Moving Parts and Real Submission Action!” Davis 

If you haven’t seen Phil Davis during a weigh-in, then you will be a clueless parent come Christmas when your kid asks you for that cool UFC action figure. This should be his nickname, just so we can all hear Bruce Buffer give the best merchandise pitch ever.

Vitor “The Pheetnom-nom” Belfort 

Does this one really need explaining?

Mark “That Was Easy!” Hominick 

Remember those Staples commercials with that red button? Remember his fight with Aldo?

Diego “Awake” Sanchez 

Sanchez can’t seem to figure out his own identity as has gone from the "Nightmare" to the "Dream." One option left. 

Lyoto “The Dentist” Machida 

Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort should go to a different office than Black House Dentistry.

Chael “The Fly” Sonnen 

What does a fly do? They fly around, continuously buzzing and being annoying (to some). They continue to move about and don’t stop too often. They are only in trouble when they get caught, and sometimes it’s in a spider’s web. Also, during the countdown for Sonnen vs. Stann, Stann was having trouble beating a fly away during his interview. He was defeated by Sonnen, who put on an impressive fight and got the finish.
