UFC: The UFC is the biggest promotion in MMA by a long distance. And as a result, the UFC has some of the sport’s biggest stars on its books. Moreover, some of these fighters are the closest we will get to real-life superheroes, given the things they are capable of. So here is a list of UFC Fighters we believe could be DC heroes.

While there could be several other fighters who fit the description of superheroes, we have gone with a few big names. This is our list of current UFC stars who could definitely be DC superheroes.

Opinion: UFC Stars as DC Heroes

UFC stars as DC superheroes

Conor McGregor as Batman

This might raise a few eyebrows, given that Conor McGregor could definitely also be the Joker. However, both Batman and McGregor are rich, love fast cars, and have incredible strength and precision in their fighting. It just makes sense.

Valentina Shevchenko as Wonder Woman

Do we really have to explain this one? Wonder Woman is famous for her strength, speed, and invulnerability to physical harm. She also carries herself with the utmost class. We can say the same for Shevchenko. We saw with her fights against Amanda Nunes that nothing can hurt Shevchenko. And the aura with which ‘Bullet’ Valentina carries herself reminds us of Wonder Woman.

Jorge Masvidal as Aquaman

This comparison is one of the easier ones to see. Aquaman is famous for his long hair, beard, incredible body, and stamina. We can say the same for Jorge Masvidal. The long hair and beard have become Masvidal’s trademark look. In addition, Masvidal is a Miami boy, therefore, he is no stranger to the water either. Thus, making it a perfect comparison.

Alex Pereira as Superman

This comparison will definitely draw criticism. However, we have our reasons for picking Alex Pereira as Superman. Like Superman, Pereira has superhuman power and is massive. However, like Superman, Pereira has his kryptonite. We believe wrestling is Pereira’s kryptonite, and therefore, he fits the bills for Superman in our list.

Jon Jones as Cyborg

Jon Jones as Cyborg just makes perfect sense. If you google, “What is Cyborg known for?” you will find superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and flight as the description. And given Jon Jones’ incredible dominance through the years, fans have definitely used the same adjectives for ‘Bones’ Jones. If there was one fighter in the UFC who had superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and flight, it would be Jon Jones.

Israel Adesanya as The Flash

Adesanya describes himself as ‘The Last Stylebender.’ However, for this list, we see him as the perfect fit for The Flash. Adesanya is arguably the fastest striker in the UFC. While some may refute this claim, his record speaks for itself. He may not be the strongest, but he is definitely fast.

Aljamain Sterling as Green Lantern

Another easy comparison for us is Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling as Green Lantern. According to the comics, the ring Green Lantern wears grants him powers like fearlessness and the “electromagnetic spectrum of emotional willpower.” And although Sterling has his critics, no one can question his fearlessness and willpower.

Amanda Nunes as Harley Quinn

While to some fans, Amanda Nunes would be Wonder Woman, for us, she fits the bill of Harley Quinn perfectly. Harley Quinn is famous for her unpredictability, her toughness, and just being an all-round badas*. And if you know Amanda Nunes, you know she is all of these things and more.

So this is our list of UFC stars who could be DC heroes. Let us know which fighters you think would make DC superheroes.
