7. Uriah Faber as Captain America

Uriah Faber seems like he leads a good life.

A pioneer of the lighter weight classes in MMA, Faber announced recently that his upcoming fight will be his last. The fight will be held in Faber’s hometown of Sacramento, and he won’t be the only Team Alpha Male member on the card. Paige VanZant will main event that night against Michelle Waterson.

Faber sometimes doesn’t get the credit he deserves as an MMA pioneer. Uriah Faber was a huge draw for the WEC, and when his fight with Jose Aldo did over 200,000 buys on PPV it proved to Zuffa that the smaller weight classes could translate into money for the UFC. If Faber wasn’t as popular as he was back then there is no telling where the featherweight bantamweight and flyweight divisions would be today.

6. Paige VanZant as “Legally Blonde”

So I believe Paige has titled this costume as “Legally Blonde”. Probably because Paige is blonde and she is holding a “Harvard Law” book, which explains the “legally” part. And then she is also wearing a Playboy bunny costume because why the heck not?

Is it a very clever costume idea? No, not really, but it’s Paige VanZant which means its awesome.

VanZant’s ascension up the rankings was stalled in December when she was defeated by “Thug” Rose Namajunas, but she recently bounced back with a KO of Bec Rawlings in March. She’s got Michelle Waterson in her next bout at UFC on Fox 22.
