Georges "Rush" St. Pierre: given to him by the UFC executives for his inclination to "rush" into a fight and get right down to business

I know Minotaur is a mythological greek creature but is there any relation as to why he is actually using that as a nickname? And more people refer to Dan Henderson as Hendo instead of Hollywood.

I thought Randy Couture's "The Natural" nick-name was a refernce to the book and movie.

Some spiders don't have incredibly long legs though, so that can't be it.

Personally, I think he kinda resembles a black version of The Fear from Metal Gear Solid 3. I know that's not what he's named after, but I think it's related because he is incredibly flexible and agile.
