""Ice" Cole is often associated with Abate, which plays on the adjective "Ice-Cold". This started through the comments section of a Cole Abate highlight reel on YouTube by a fan who was discussing Abate's calm and collected composure, describing him as "Ice-Cold" on the mats despite his young age. Later, the promoter of the professional Brazilian grappling show Copa Podio / Orange League (Jeferson Maycá) decided to use that name to raise the marketing value of the young Texas native, which extrapolated the use of the terminology."
