"The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit
MMA Record: 30-12-0
As with many of the fighters in this list, Carlos Condit absolutely lived up to his nickname for the majority of his career. "The Natural Born Killer" made his UFC debut back in 2009 as the WEC welterweight champion and carrying an eight-fight win streak. Perhaps even more impressive was Condit's 22-4-0 record with every one of his 22 professional wins coming via KO/TKO/Submission.
After having his win streak snapped in his UFC debut against Martin Kampmann, Condit went on a tear, defeating Jake Ellenberger via split decision before going on to earn stoppage wins over three of the UFC's most exciting welterweights including handing future champion Rory MacDonald his first loss (3rd round KO), stopping Dan Hardy (1st round KO) and delivering a stunning flying knee TKO to Dong Hyun Kim (1st round). "Natural Born Killer" indeed.
Condit captured the interim UFC welterweight title with a unanimous decision win over Nick Diaz at UFC 143 but went on to fall short in his attempt to snatch the undisputed title from reigning champion Georges St-Pierre one fight later at UFC 154.
"The Natural Born Killer" has been a part of several memorable wars over the course of his career, perhaps most notably his 2016 fight of the year battle with Robbie Lawler. While defeat to Lawler kickstarted Condit's current 4 fight losing streak, it will go down in history as one of the most entertaining fights of all time.
"The Housewives' Choice" Chris Fields
MMA Record: 12-8-1
I'll admit, this nickname doesn't really fit in with the majority of the names on this list but it is hands down one of my favourite nicknames in all of Mixed Martial Arts.
"The Housewives' Choice" Chris Fields is a pioneer of the Irish MMA scene and a veteran of the UK, Ireland and European circuit. Training out of the world-renowned Straight Blast Gym under coach John Kavanagh, Fields helped pave the way for the next generation of Irish stars like James Gallagher, Kiefer Crosbie and Blaine O'Driscoll.
As for the unusual nickname, Fields explained to Buzz.ie that it came about completely by accident during an interview with Severe MMA.
"It (the nickname) was given to me during an interview with one of the guys from SevereMMA, Andrew McGahon.
"He just said, 'I'm here with Chris 'The Housewives' Choice' Fields'.
"Since I got married and had a kid it's the way I'm going – I'm not the younger girls' choice anymore!"
