It’s the last UFC on FOX card ever, and what better way to mark the occasion than by ranking all the nicknames in the lineup? As usual, UFC.com and Tapology served as primary sources, along with cross-referencing help from Wikipedia and Sherdog.
21. (tie) Rob Font: ???
Drakkar Klose: ???
Zak Cummings: ???
Chris De La Rocha: ???
No known nicknames. It’s an option. It’s just not a great one.
20. Sergio Pettis: The Phenom

19. Jim Miller: A-10
Every time. It gets me every time. How can this be his nickname? How?!?
18. Zak Ottow: The Barbarian
Please. There are already so many “Barbarians” in MMA. It almost makes you long for the strangling yoke of civilization.
17. Juan Adams: The Kraken
Let this be a lesson for all the young fighters out there: When choosing a nickname, maybe ask yourself if this is a reference that will still feel relevant years later.
