UFC: 10 Embarrassingly Awful Nicknames MMA Fighters Actually Used

7. Andre “Touchy” Fili

28-year-old Andre "Touchy" Fili is a UFC veteran with wins over standouts like Artem Lobov, Dennis Bermudez, and Myles Jury. The talented featherweight is a member of Urijah Faber's Team Alpha Male.

Fili is certainly an excellent fighter. That being said, UFC's human resources department couldn't have been thrilled with the name "Touchy" Fili. It sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Plus, pervy nicknames don't really make sense in the context of cage fighting.

"Touchy" Fili is a fun play on words and probably hard to resist using, given his last name. Still, at the end of the day, it makes for a cringe-worthy nickname.
