Every Thursday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAJunkie's Ben Fowlkes.

Breen and Fowlkes discuss the newly-minted UFC interim middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, specifically the origins and details of the “Bobby Knuckles” nickname, why it appeals to fans, why “The Reaper” dislikes it, bad MMA nicknames the historical role of fans and media in christening athletes and how social media has altered this tradition.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
