UFC Fighters as Superheroes

I don’t watch UFC fights, but I hear about the sport of MMA sometimes in passing. And I began chatting with Google Bard to learn a bit more, including about the top fighters.

And I asked what each of the top fighters is known for. I had been reading earlier about the punching power of Francis Ngannou and, reading through Bard’s response, I noticed the same note about Ngannou and thought, these humans are like superheroes in the world of professional fighting across all related sports, with a blend of rare skill and power and, even if I don’t watch the sport, I’m into superheroes.

So, I asked Bard to create superheroes using the top 10 UFC fighters. Then, I asked for a MidJourney prompt for each. Next, I plugged each prompt into ChatGPT with DALL-E.

Here are the results. (Not criticizing Bard; this tech is amazing. But might any of the other LLMs invent more creative superhero names?)
