I don't know why so many German based fighters feel compelled to change their names. There's a lot to like about Abraham ATM, but it would've been much cooler if he'd stuck with Avetik Abrahamyan, his real name. It suits him better and is a lot more unique.
Arthur Abraham should have chosen a better German name... Arthur Abraham just doesn't roll off the tongue well.
Felix Sturm sounds tight, especially since the Sturmgewehr-44 was a German assault rifle in World War II... that sounds pretty tight when equipped with that information.
Plenty of American actors change thier name as well to make it in the industry, such as Jamie Fox. But I prefer to see people use thier birth given name and make that the name that becomes famous. It can definitely be done. Our President's name is Barak Obama. But I do completely understand why people do it.
They make it easier so that the fans can remember it. They rather be like oh yeah that Abraham guy rather than oh yeah that one bald guy that punches hard. Look at Felix Sturm, I think he has a crazy ass name
Yeah, Sturm (Adnan Cacic) should use his real name too. Yeah, I know 'Arthur Abraham' is easier to remember for most people, but I disagree that it's more marketable. I feel an unusual and more exotic name can add mystique and interest. I'm sure there are fewer Avetik Abrahamyans in the world than there are Arthur Abrahams.

I saw an interview...he dreams of making an impact in america..
I guess thats the reason for him going as King Arthur Abraham. Its more markatable and relatable to us, over here.
