I actually thought it was because of this @fizzy.bleach
Five years ago López was ambushed on a training ride by a pair of would-be bike thieves. The brigands got more than they'd bargained for with the 5'6", 143-pound López, however. The cyclist fought the men off, sustaining two stab wounds before disarming his assailants—and retaining his bike, of course.

I only posted this to bait you.
I’m not sure how or why he has that nickname, I think I first heard it when he was making winning mountaintop finishes look easy in his debut Vuelta, so presumably it is to do with him flying uphill.
Personally I think we should call him M.Lo but can’t see that one sticking.
