5 UFC Fighters and their comic book equivalents

Is there anyone in MMA who eye pokes more than Jon Jones?

#1 Jon Jones - Wolverine

The main reason Jones is compared to Wolverine is for his notorious eye poking. However, to broaden the comparison, it is true that both characters have been through major adversary in their respective careers. The former UFC light heavyweight champion has spent a majority of his UFC title defences defending and denying his excessive eye poking.

So, what better character to compare him to than a man who has long and sharp steel knives protruding from his knuckles? Wolverine’s story is also another reason why these two men can be compared. Both men have faced major difficulty in their lives and emerged better but found themselves taken down again by consequences such as Wolverine’s struggle with his mutation and Jones’ run in’s with the law and troubles with substance abuse.

Overall, though, the comparison lies in Jones’ ability to bounce back from adversity in title fights, life obstacles and even career obstacles much like Logan himself in his various comic book stories.
