“I don't like nicknames, to be honest.” — Gegard Mousasi Quote

I don't like nicknames, to be honest.

Even if I win the belt, I'm going to be underrated. It is what is it.

When you constantly claim you are the best, people start to believe that. I see that happen a lot. You can convince a lot of people by talking, even if that has nothing to do with your actual performances. But that's not my thing.

I can't put on an act, so I try to be one of the best fighters so at least I get paid. Let's say Michael Bisping, he wasn't that great. He was losing, winning, but he was making a lot of money, and that was because he was outspoken and from the U.K. But not everyone can be like that. So, I tried to be the best I could.

Everybody had nicknames when I was a kid.

Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.

I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.

I don't have any nicknames.

I don't need any nicknames.
