5 UFC Fighters and their comic book equivalents

Nelson has one-punch knockout power, much like Thing

#3 Roy Nelson - Thing

When one thinks of Nelson, one thinks of his incredible knockout power. Considering his lack of conditioning and striking experience leading into his UFC debut, the ability he has with his hands is astounding.

Now, when one thinks of Thing of the Fantastic Four, one thinks of his trademark quote “it’s clobbering time!”, a quote well suited to describe Nelson in the octagon. Although as of late, he hasn’t graced us with too many highlight-reel performances, his abilities are well documented.

The comparisons between these two characters also include their appearances, with both characters being heavyset and gigantic men in their own right and always ready for a fight. The only thing that sets them apart is that Nelson doesn’t have a trio of superheroes like Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to call his own like Thing does. But if he does, he has yet to let us know.
