5 ONE Championship fighters we’d love to see Spider-Man’s Tom Holland box

#2. Tom Holland vs. John ‘Hands of Stone’ Lineker

A matchup between Tom Holland and John Lineker could be the closest thing we see as a real-life battle between Spider-Man and The Hulk.

Lineker is an MMA veteran with over a decade of experience and was nicknamed ‘Hands of Stone’ because of his incredible punching power. If there’s anyone who enjoys “smashing” as much as The Hulk, it could be Lineker.

With 16 knockouts in 34 career victories, Lineker is the real deal. His knockout victories over Kevin Belingon and Troy Worthen recently in the Circle are proof that the 31-year-old Brazilian doesn’t come to play.

But at 173cm, Tom Holland may have a bit of a reach advantage over Lineker, something Spider-Man can’t say against the big green guy. This fight is one more for Spider-Man’s size.

Unfortunately, whether in the MCU or otherwise, there’s no conceivable way Spider-Man can beat The Hulk, and no way Tom Holland could beat John Lineker.

#1. Tom Holland vs. Rodtang ‘The Iron Man’ Jitmuangnon

In the MCU, Tom Holland’s version of Spider-Man has a special relationship with Tony Stark, who we know to be the hero called ‘Iron Man.’

How perfect would it be for him to share the stage opposite another ‘Iron Man’ in ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon?

Similar to Tony Stark, Rodtang has a seemingly impenetrable exterior that gives him an overwhelming advantage in fights. Unlike Stark though, Rodtang doesn’t need any armor. He’s built like ‘The Iron Man’ himself, and has as many explosive weapons as the superhero we see in the movies.

Rodtang even walks out to the Circle with his ‘Iron Man’ mask on.

Tom Holland will need to use a lot of his Spider-Man quickness and agility to try and make up for the difference in power, though. Fighting against Rodtang will also help Tom Holland get better at utilizing his feet, whether for movement or for offense.
