1.
Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon
Much like Kenny “Kenflo” Florian, it’s like Lauzon couldn’t be bothered trying to be clever. It’s not as if nicknames are mandatory. He could’ve just gone without one. Also, does this name make anyone else think of Jennifer Lopez?

Kenny “Ken-flo” Florian
It’s like he’s not even trying. Fighter nicknames are supposed to be clever or intimidating. This one is neither.

Tito “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Ortiz
By design, nicknames are supposed to be shorter than the person’s real name. This “nickname” is almost twice as long.

Josh “The Dentist” Neer
I get it. He knocks his opponents’ teeth out. Still, it makes me think of Hermey, the elf who wanted to be a dentist in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

Matt “The Terra” Serra
While “Terra” might well sound like “Terror” and rhyme with “Serra,” it actually means “Earth” in Latin. Most often, announcers are forced to make some sort of reference to terror in order to make this nickname make sense.
