I was thinking about how “Triple C” will never catch on (or at least I hope it won’t), but many fighters actually end up becoming better known by their nicknames than their real names. (I’m not talking about abbreviated names like JLau/KenFlo or initials like GSP/DC,

Here is who I came up with along with a few that are arguable.
Who did I miss?

CroCop
Tank
Cyborg (w)
Cyborg (m)
Rampage
Shogun
Jacare
Cowboy
Big Nog
Little Nog
Mighty Mouse
Karate Hottie
The Korean Zombie
Mayhem
Kimbo Slice

Borderline:

Big Country
Showtime
Wonder Boy
Rumble
California Kid
Uncle Creepy
 

Rambo John J

I think Borrachinha was headed that way, and decided to change that, I can't remember why.

I don't know even the real names of Kimbo slice and Dada 5000. Tank Abbott I really had to think about - David.
Nogeira bros are special because they have two. Big nog/little nog and also minotauro/minotouro. No one calls them Antonio Rodrigo/Antonio rogerio.
Korean superboy's another. Big daddy goodridge. Shoe face. I'm sure there's a few Brazilians I can't think of right now
