UFC on ESPN 1, also known as UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs. Velasquez and UFC Phoenix will be held on Sunday February 17 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. As with every fight card in memory, there are some great nicknames.

Please note – this is an utterly subjective and even arbitrary list, with appreciation and respect for all.

22. Benito ‘Golden Boy’ Lopez – Some boxer should borrow Dana White’s ‘Baldfather’ nickname.

21. Vincente ‘The Silent Assassin’ Luque – Next interview he should refuse to speak until the interviewer gets it.

20. Jimmie ‘El Terror’ Rivera – El should be put in front of more MMA nicknames, El Pitbull > Pitbull.

19. Ashlee ‘Rebel Girl’ Evans-Smith – She’s got the hottest trike in town.

18. Cortney ‘Cast Iron’ Casey – It would be neat if Casey and Holtzman were a couple.

17. Scott ‘Hot Sauce’ Holtzman – Cast Iron and Hot Sauce sound like they were meant to go together.

16. James ‘The Texecutioner’ Vick – The Executioner, Mexecutioner, Texecutioner series could be extended, like Flexecutioner from Florida and Sexecutioner from Serbia.

15. Paul ‘The Irish Dragon’ Felder – There should be one Dragon for every country.

14. Aljamain ‘Funk Master’ Sterling – Funkmaster Flex is awesome inspiration.

13. Myles ‘Fury’ Jury – Solid nickname.

12. Bryan ‘Bam Bam’ Barberena – The killer B’s.

11. Nik ‘The Carny’ Lentz – Unlike Cortney Casey who doesn’t look a lot like a cast iron pan, Lentz looks a little like a carny.

10. Manny ‘The Bermudez Triangle’ Bermudez – Undefeated and won three of last four fights via Triangle

9. Emily ‘Spitfire’ Whitmire – Much better nickname than backfire, barbed-wire, brushfire, gunfire, haywire, hellfire, perspire, rimfire, sapphire, or pneumatic tire.

8. Renan ‘Barão’ do Nascimento Mota Pegado – Barão means Big Baron and it’s how he’s known to fans.

7. Andre ‘Touchy’ Fili – Appreciated humor in a world of Pitbulls and Assassins and Pittbull Assassins.

6. Andrea ‘KGB’ Lee – Rolls off the tongue.

5. ‘Cool Hand’ Luke Sanders – He grins like a baby but bites like a gator.

4. Francis ‘The Predator’ Ngannou – With Don Frye retired, we have a worthy successor, with a win tonight.

3. Alexandra ‘Stitch’ Albu – Placement near top of list purely because her glutes are so mediagenic.

2. ‘Ice Cream’ Kron Gracie – In a world of rampaging terror killer axe murderers, this is an appreciated change.

1. Alex ‘Bruce Leeroy’ Caceres – I am sick and tired of hearing these bull$#!@ Superman stories about the wassaaa legendary Bruce Leeroy catching bullets with his teeth.

And will someone please find Cain Velasquez a nickname, before he retires.
