Best nickname of somebody you train with

Hey guys, just sorta fun, I was wondering if you guys train with anybody who has a crazy mma monochre or nickname. Back at school, I trained with a kid we called chainsaw because in two of his first three mma fights, he mounted the other guy and proceeded to do the one-handed 'chainsaw' punch (like when you start a chainsaw). I also trained with another kid who was trying to nickname himself 'the surgeon' and eventually got nicknamed 'the barn cat,' apparently from a discussion about how barn cats are pound for pound the toughest animals alive.... man i miss training there haha....

you guys or gals got any good nicknames at your gym?

We named this guy flounder after the fish from Little Mermaid because of the shape of his head.

Interesting nicknames.... When I was training in Ft. Lauderdale, there was this huge dude I was grappling against. He was a lot bigger and stronger than me. So I called him seamonkey.

Then there are the Helpful Turtle, Tripod (we won't go there), and Psych-o Mike-o. There is another big dude who I train with in Pittsburgh nicknamed Ron Chaney; although, I don't know why exactly. They do look a little alike. I'm nicknamed Frodo for reasons you can guess. I don't think the instructor, who gave me that name, has used my real name in the last 6 months...

A guy I know has a last name of Herpert-Fell.

So his nickname is Herpes - which is rather unfortunate whan you are at a club trying to pick up a chick and your mates yell out at you. Tends to put a crimp on your moves.....
