UFC Fight Night 139: Korean Zombie vs. Rodríguez will be held on Saturday, November 10, at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.

As at every fight card in memory, there are some great nicknames.

Greatest potential on the UG – Joby Sanchez, if he could ever see his way to acquiring the nickname ‘Dirty’.

20. Bobby The Wolfman Moffett
Daniel Theodore wants a word with you sir, and he’s not happy.

19. Eric Showtime Shelton
There are many Pitbulls but only one Showtime.

18. Germaine The Iron Lady de Randamie
Hopefully borrowing ring names from politicians doesn’t become a thing; we don’t need a Slick Willie, Tricky Dick, or His Accidency in the Octagon.

17. Devonte King Kage Smith
King is Kinda Kool, but King Kage means you are really amazing cage.

16. Julian Juicy J Erosa
If Erosa gets caught in a choke Rogan can shout, “Juicy J getting fresh squeezed,” which would be different.

15. Michael The Lone Wolf Trizano
A one man wolfpack.

15. Davi The Tasmanian Devil Ramos
Would be better if Ramos was from Tazmania

14. Mark The Bumblebee De La Rosa
Dumbledore is actually an 18th-century English nickname for a bumblebee.

13. Joseph Bopo Morales
“Bopo comes from my cousin not being able to say my name when we were young. He would pronounce Joseph as bopuff and my family dropped the f sound off the end, and I’ve been Bopo since the age of two.” H/T MMA Sucka

12. Hannah Shockwave Cifers
If Cifers is named for the Mossberg 590, that would be neat.

11. Ashley Spider Monkey Yoder
The species has good reach so it fits.

10. Maycee The Future Barber
Time will tell, but if Barber is the future, what do you can her when she becomes champ?

9. John The Machine Gunther
Worked for Ian Freeman, and has the play on Machine Gun.

8. Chas The Scrapper Skelly
Has the advantage of being true, too.

7. Amanda ABC Cooper
Amanda Bobby Cooper, it works.

6. Rocky Raquel Pennington
Yo A̶d̶r̶i̶a̶n̶ Tiny Tornado.

5. Platinum Mike Perry
Doesn’t really fit, but it works.

4. El Pantera Yair Rodriguez
Sounds like a cool motorcycle, action movie, sports car, rock band, or fighter.

3. Donald Cowboy Cerrone
Like Cher, and Coolio, and Mr. T, one name is all it takes. Mr. T is kinda two names.

1. (tie) The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung + Luis Violent Bob Ross Pena
An all-time great and an up and coming great fight to a tie.
