The current crop of UFC fighters are unmatchable. However, Jake Shields suggested an MMA fighter to the roster of the UFC. People might assume that because of his fighting skills. However, Shields has different criteria to pick fighters. If there’s one thing that fans of UFC can get behind the most, it’s a stylish name. Because the name gives a lot of personality to the fighter. Furthermore, an elegant nickname is a must-have for an MMA professional to become a household brand. Such as ‘The American Gangster’ ‘The Eagle’ ‘The Diamond’ or even something quirky like ‘Funkmaster’ or ‘Stylebender’. However, one fighter has a catchier nickname than all of them combined.
Dana White might look into this MMA fighter
