5 times UFC fighters were real-life superheroes

#2. Kevin Holland recovers stolen perfume

Yet again, Kevin Holland reminded the world of his heroism. While he was alone when he stopped the carjacker, and in the company of his training partner when he helped subdue the gunman at the sushi restaurant, the 'Trailblazer' was alongside his manager Oren Hodak when he stopped a perfume thief. Less than a day before his recent bout with Tim Means, a fight Holland went on to win via second-round submission, the hard-hitting welterweight chased down the perfume thief in question after the man shouted to another about stolen goods in his possession.

As Holland pursued the thief, his manager stayed behind, allowing his more athletic client to engage in what the 'Trailblazer' himself described as a good pre-fight workout. While Hodak, Holland's manager, claims to have not witnessed his client apprehend the thief, he did see him return with several bottles of perfume. Recovering the stolen goods to continue his heroic streak is definitely not the last incident that the welterweight contender will find himself in.

#1. Jon Jones apprehends thief

Jon 'Bones' Jones has had more negative brushes with the law than positive ones. But before UFC 128, the lanky light heavyweight could do no wrong. He was hours away from a historic title fight with MMA legend Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua in a matchup that saw Jones capture the light heavyweight championship in dominant fashion, becoming the youngest UFC champion in history. Prior to his star-making performance, 'Bones' and his coaches sought to meditate.

Their plans were interrupted when an elderly couple cried out for help. When approached by Jones and his team, the couple revealed that their car window had been shattered and a thief ran off with their GPS. Jones and his coaches pursued the thief, catching him and recovering the elderly couple's GPS. The thief was subdued and restrained until the arrival of local law enforcement. It remains one of the few altruistic incidents in the former light heavyweight champion's career.
