UFC fighters in different media

[HwoarangStyle]

I'm watching a movie called Term Life starring Vince Vaughn and Hailee Steinfeld and who do I see in it? Frickin' Cain Velasquez playing a criminal goon. It made me think about other fighters or MMA personalities making appearances in tv or movies. The obvious ones like GSP in Captain America 2 or Rousey in her couple of movie appearances. Other less known ones you guys might know? Also The Dean of Mean Keither Jardine has been making appearances in new AMC show Preacher.

The other 3 women in the Four Horsewomen are in Entourage which allows me to post this painfully cringey photo:

How could we forget Rampage az BA Baracus in "The A-Team" movie.

There could be no better replacement! Before Rampage I would've said no-one could pull it off! He did it though.
