"Colby Covington when people cheered his anti-Brazil speech" - MMA Twitter comes up with hilarious 'The Boys' x UFC memes
With season three of Amazon Prime's The Boys recently wrapping up, UFC fans on Twitter got creative with some hilarious crossover memes.
Based on Garth Ennis' comic book of the same title, the hit series explores a world in which superheroes exist. But unlike the iconic characters portrayed in popular Marvel and DC movies and shows, superheroes in The Boys – or "supes" as they're referred to in the show, don't always use their powers for good.
Several MMA fans, who are also fans of the show, posted scenes from The Boys to recount some of the most memorable moments in the sport's recent history. Check out some of the best crossover memes below:

A Twitter user, who goes by the handle @WengerMma, used the same scene to depict what might happen if Jon Jones fails another drug test. A third individual used the exact same scene to portray a rather bizarre scenario.

Meanwhile, @haydenthethird used a scene involving Homelander and Starlight to depict the charity-related drama between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. For those unaware, McGregor and Poirier got into a heated back-and-forth on social media after Poirier accused McGregor of backing down on his pledge donation.
