Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these fighters is known as "The Sandman"?

Answer: James Irvin

Irvin's nickname derives from his ability to put people to sleep, knockout style! Of his fourteen wins, ten have come by knockout, including an eight-second destruction of Houston Alexander.
2. Canadian fighter Jonathan Goulet is known for his extreme hair styles and by what nickname?

Answer: The Road Warrior

Goulet has a 22-10 record overall but is only 4-4 in the UFC Octagon. His first fight on the big stage lasted all of eleven seconds, when he was knocked silly by Duane Ludwig.
3. Matt Hume has been around the fight game for many years as a fighter, coach, judge and commentator. What was his nickname?

Answer: The Wizard

Although his record is a pedestrian 5-5, Hume fought legends such as Ken Shamrock (Loss) and Pat Militech (Win) in the mid 1990s.
4. One of the best UFC nicknames ever belongs to Keith Jardine. What is his nickname?

Answer: The Dean of Mean

Despite some notable victories over Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin, Jardine is known more for his great nickname and his incredible resemblance to the star of the viral video "Techno Viking".
5. Manny Gamburyan, Scott Ferrozzo and Andrei Arlovski all share what nickname?

Answer: The Pitbull

Ferrozzo fought in the early days of the UFC and defeated Tank Abbott at UFC 11. Arlovski was a former UFC Heavyweight champion and Manny Gamburyan was on the Ultimate Fighter 5.
6. Who is known as "The Baby Faced Assassin"?

Answer: Josh Barnett

Barnett was only 24 and had already been fighting for five years when he defeated Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight title in March of 2002 and was subsequently stripped after a positive drug test. Sherk is known as "The Muscle Shark", Hallman goes by "Superman" and Horodecki is known as "The Polish Hammer".
7. Whose unofficial nickname is "The Running Man"?

Answer: Kalib Starnes

You may recall at UFC 83, in his own country, Starnes was embarrassed by Nate Quarry for his elusive style. He later claimed that he was injured during the fight and thus had to change his approach to avoid taking further punishment. Needless to say, Starnes has not been seen in the Octagon since and has returned to smaller, regional events.
8. What is the rather odd but somehow fitting nickname of Tandam McCrory?

Answer: The Barncat

It was Nickname heaven at UFC 91 when Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory fought Dustin "McLovin" Hazelett. That card also featured Matt "The Immortal" Brown, Jeremy "Lil Heathen" Stephens and Ryan "The tank engine" Thomas.
9. Clay Guida is a high energy lightweight and fan favourite...what is his nickname?

Answer: The Carpenter

Although Guida is only 5-5 in the UFC, his losses have all come against top-flight talent, including Din Thomas, Tyson Griffin, Roger Huerta, Diego Sanchez and Kenny Florian.
10. Who owns the terrifying moniker "The Dentist"?

Answer: Josh Neer

Neer is one of the toughest fighters you will see and is very well rounded, having won 11 by KO and 11 by submission, to go along with four wins by decision.
