Yup, this pretty much looks like a "Reality" Cheick to us too...

After much debate, we were able to narrow down the 'Coin a Fighter Nickname' Exercise submissions to our Top 5 Finalists.  Trust us, due to the plethora of great nickname ideas that came in, it wasn't an easy process (thanks again to all who participated!).

The Top 5 Finalists are:

"Reality" Cheick Kongo (submitted by BL)
Stefan "Smooth" Struve (submitted by DirtyBrave)
Brock "Bullet Proof" Lesnar (submitted by Domenicob)
George "The Octopus" Sotiropoulos (submitted by kdnhlmt135)
Matt "Short Fuse" Hughes (submitted by rasta faraganj)

Each of these Finalists earned 2500 points for their outstanding original nicknames.  The winner, based on your Community vote, will earn an additional 2500 points and be announced here later this week.  Please visit the Exercises page to cast your vote on the right side poll.

Some of our finalists gave explanations on how they came up with these names... check it out:

  • BL - "Reality" Cheick Kongo - Because if he hits you, you're in for a reality check.
     
  • Domenicob - Brock "Bullet Proof" Lesnar - Bullet Proof because no matter how many shots he takes he keeps on coming.
     
  • kdnhlmt135 - George "The Octopus" Sotiropoulos - I think "The Octopus" is a great name for George Sotiropoulos because he has great grappling and jiu jitsu. Rolling with him is like getting tangled up with an octopus.
     
  • DirtyBrave - Stefan "Smooth" Struve - It makes sense! He's six foot ten, maybe eleven, yet he is so SMOOOOOTH!!!  Also, just imagine Buffer introducing him!

 

These nicknames are way better and funnier...
 
CAIN "LUNESTA" VELASQUEZ... HE CAN PUT YOUR A$$ TO SLEEP QUICK
 
"THE COMEBACK KID" CHRIS LEBEN... NO MATTER HOW BAD HE GETS BEAT DOWN HE COMES BACK
 
"THE ONE NIGHT STAND" BROCK LESNAR... AFTER YOU F*CK WITH HIM ONE TIME AND GET BANGED OUT, YOU HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN
 
"THE ICE CUBE" CHUCK LIDDELL... ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES, BUT HIS SKILLS ARE MELTING
 
"HOLLYWOOD" RAMPAGE JACKSON... ALWAYS MAKING MOVIES, EVEN WHEN HE AIN'T ON THE BIG SCREEN
 
"THE XBOX" ANDERSON SILVA... HE JUST PLAYS WITH HIS OPPONENTS
 
"SEXUAL CHOCOLATE" RASHAD EVANS... ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITES, "SUGAR" JUST SOUNDS TOO SWEET
 
 

I'm not complaining, i just dont know why people didnt think mine was creative
Mine was "The Hurri" Cain Velasquez
Its a play on his name as well as his force and will to never go down without a fight
like a Hurricane
I thought it was creative
i GUESS IM A ****

Those are some really lame selections. Why didn't they let the community vote on the finalist. Their all really cliche, or just rhyme. Pretty lame.

damn Shane "Juggernaut" Carwin didn't take one

mikestra is mad  lmao!! he even took time to copy and paste the rules for me!!! lol

Smooth and Short Fuse shouldn't have been chosen as top 5 since they are already nicknames of other fighters:
 
Ed "Short Fuse" Herman
 
Ben "Smooth" Henderson

ALL the winners are kinda WHACK.  The names don't fit at all..........  oh, and Mir gave Kongo a reality check....... so, that won't work either....
I Still think Brock "the Hulk" Lesnar is better.......  or maybe Brock "the increadible BULK" Lesnar would work.....  just sayin.....
 
who's the guy that picked the winners anyway??? WTF!!!

Do what you like, and do it honestly!

brock isnt bullet proof
he got knocked on his ass and carwin got off him and told him to get up did he no he stayed down

mayhem monkie

Reality Cheick Kongo is obviously the one.

now the "Reality" Cheick Kongo nickname is creative, thats top 5 worthy, the others im just dissapointed a little

yeah im not done yet, the octopus is already been used,
Diego "The Octopus" Saraiva
this guy fights in bellator and has a recored of like 28- 9 so i dont see how that made it top 5, not trying to acuse you the guy that posted the nickname just trying to understand how its top 5

maybe its just me but i think a nickname as basic as smooth is not fair to others that it made it top 5, nothing agaist the guy whos idea it was but the people who thought it was so creative, and bullet proof is way to basic and used all around the world, i just dont get it, idk maybe its just me but thats sad that those were voted most creative.,,,,really?

Vote 4 "Short Fuse" Hughes because its by far the worst nickname i ever heard!  And it would be funny if the worst 1 won!

Ok guys, since your obviously upset because your name did not make it I will inform you what happens with a bullet proof vest. You get shot, the force of the bullet knocks you down, but then you get right back up. Meaning, you may be able to get brock down but you wont finish him. Hopefully this sheds some light. and P.S. who cares about Kongo? Lol

I SUBMITTED The Octopus, but all of these dont are the best compared to the 650 other ones that people submitted.
 
For me is best to only vote by the 5 best ones for example, from Cain Velasquez,  tomorrow, Brock Lesnar or  Cheick Congo....
probably for only 5 fighter.

Lets KO and Roll

this is very sad :-(  why dont put to vote the best 5 and different nick  for the same  fighter, to vote for about 3 days and later other fighter,  these are really the best but by forum manager, and not by the forum members.  hope the forum manager change the actual idea.

 "However, there are quite a few notable fighters in the league who don’t have a prominent nickname. For this week’s Exercise, coin a nickname for one of these fighters, and you could score some premium points."
 
I pasted this from the official exercise rules. No matter how original it may sound. Stefan 'Smooth' Struve should not be eligible. Struve already has a prominently used nickname. Also, not really trying to criticize, but didn't Shane Carwin show us that Brock really isn't all that 'Bullet Proof'? I definitely saw some more creative nicknames in the thread, but my vote is for 'Reality" Cheick Kongo. 
 
PS: I still like Chael 'The Mouth' Sonnen the best.

I'd like to place a vote for "Reality" Cheick Kongo. That's pretty clever.

dont hate cuz your entry didnt make it like mine did Smiling

I SUBMITTED SMOOTH!!!  BUT I LIKE REALITY BETTER!!!

struve already has a nickname its skysc****r which is much more creative than smooth, smooth could work for anybody. That entry should be disqualified for improperly following the rules.

Stefan "Smooth" Struve
 
brock " rhe tank" lesnar was better

mayhem monkie

 i thought cain' the matador' velasquez was best ???? MINE OF COURSE LOL 


 
 

 

 
 


 

 
 

 

all of these suck compared to the 650 other ones that people submitted

Sean sherk the muscle shirt come on thats cool
 
 
 
 

wow those are **** compared to mine. really bullet proof lesnar? he got dropped and was able to survive thats not bullet proof. the octopus is a joke.  smooth is ok but its not special. reality cheick is worthy of a spot in the finalists but because of the crap that is around it i guess it wins by default.
 
Forrest "Fire" Griffin is still better.

Of course I vote for Brock "Bullet Proof" Lesnar

Reality Cheick Kongo..... the best easily

Some of these are completely stupid. Matt "short Fuse" Hughes? Matt Hughes is one of the calmest guys around for the Matt Serra fight he never raise his voice or said any **** about him during the interviews. How does he have a short fuse?
 
I vote for "Reality" Cheick Kongo

LHW: 'Bones' Jones, Rashad, Franklin, Phil Davis
