Nicknames

You know what I noticed, almost every UFC fighter has a nickname. Some of the nicknames out there are great but others simply lack imagination. I'll just name some of my favourite and some of the worst names out there. *This blog will have many pictures of MMA fighters so you can put a face to the name (pictures are below their name).*

Favourites:
Randy "The Natural" Couture: He truly is a natural still fighting at the age of 44.Mauricio "Shogun" RuaMirko Filipović or simply Mirko Cro Cop: I just find this name to be good because Mirko was a former cop in Croatia, hence the name Cro Cop.

Georges "Rush" St-Pierre: Some people don't like his nickname because it doesn't describe the fighter. I would tell those people to watch more MMA because no one can handle George's conditioning and his game play.Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell: The best name out there and he was one of the best in his prime.Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko: Being the best fighter from Russia and possibly the best pound for pound fighter, he is the man to beat in the heavyweight division. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

The Worse:
Logan "The Pink Pounder" Clark

Cheick "The French Sensation" Kongo: I think hes a great fighter but I don't like his nickname. Just because there are not too many French fighters in the UFC does not mean people should put where they are from on their nicknames.Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald: All UFC fighters are athletes, thats like me calling myself Richard "The Chinaman" Chong

Frank "twinkle toes" Trigg: This just reminds me of Avatar (Yes I'm an Avatar geek)

Ken "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Shamrock: The purpose of a nick name is for others to remember you by. This nickname is longer than his own name. What are you thinking about Shamrock!I just wanted to add there are probably 10 people with the word "assassin" in their nickname and even if I think thats a decent name, its not creative anymore. (African Assassin, The Assassin, The Silent Assassin etc.) Change your nicknames!

Funny (People who choose a nick name because of their last names):
Kevin "The Fire" Burns

Ryan "Darth" Bader: It would be funnier if he called himself Ryan "The Master" Bader

Ron "H20 Man" Waterman

"The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine: I actually like this nickname.There is also Kendall "Da Spider" Grove and Anderson "The Spider" Silva. One of them really have to change their nicknames. Of course the champ and the pound for pound best fighter can't give up his nickname. So Kendall Grove or Da Spider, whatever you go by these days, change your name.

I know a lot of people in MMA have nick names but people have to live up to their names. Such as Nate "The Great" Marquardt or "The Prodigy" BJ Penn.

The Best of the Best

Here are some of my favourite comedy shows with my favourite scenes. I tried finding all scenes that have Youtube clips.

The Big Bang Theory: Movie Theater - So Leonard goes on a date with his new girlfriend at the theater and Sheldon follows along.

Friends: The Whip Sound - WHA-PAH!

Kenny vs Spenny: The Worst Humiliation! - Spenny lost the "who can create more semen" competition because Kenny used a radiation machine on Spenny so he would become sick. *This video may be disturbing*

How I Met Your Mother: Slapsgiving - Marshall gives his final 3rd slap to Barney (for a previous bet they had which Barney lost) on Thanksgiving. *I also want to say I found the scene where Ted is a professor (season 5) was hilarious. This is probably because I just entered university.**and Canny don't watch this clip unless you watched it in the show already!*

Everybody loves Raymond: The Sneeze - Ray is at the airport when a stranger sneezes on him and he believes he could have any disease from around the world.

Flight of the Concords: Flipping the Bird - When the Indian man discriminates Jermaine and Bret because they are from New Zealand.

The Office: The Hero - So I'll give you some background information to this scene. Roy (the man with the beard) was Pam's (the blonde girl) fiancee but she called the wedding off because she had feelings for Jim Halpert (the guy Roy is attacking).

My Top Ten

Heres a list of my top 10 songs. I tried to not only stick to rock songs but thats the genre I tend to listen to so the majority is still rock songs. To be more fair I didn't choose more than one song from any artist or else this list might be full of Foo Fighter songs.

1. "Sweet Child O'Mine" - Guns n Roses

2. "My Hero" - Foo Fighters
3. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana
4. "Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson
5. "Smoke up in Water" - Deep Purple
6. "Dream On" - Aerosmith
7. "Wonderwall" - Oasis
8. "Lose Yourself" - Eminem
9. "Young Cardinals" - Alexisonfire
10. "Numb" - Linkin Park
