My two favourites - Tarvis "Brother of Travis" Simms and some bloke, wish I could remember his name, calling himself "Caucasian Chaos". Think he hit the canvas early..

My new favorite is the lanky Phillipino Welterweight, all of 5'11 145. Known as "The Gentle Giant".

I'm 5'11 too, but nobody thinks of me as a giant. Sigh, maybe I should move to the Phillipines :)

Pastor Humberto "Vaca Mala" Maurín & his brother, José Antonio "Ternero Manso" Maurín are the most originals nicknames by argentine fighters.
