The idea being that UFC actors would star in the films with well known Hollywood actors while the UFC partners with other studios to keep the films cheap.
I think UFC would find some big success with their films while creating UFC superstars from their mainstream exposure. The perfect fighter to star in the UFCs first film would be Stipe. Hes the baddest man on the plant right now as the HW champ and casual dont really care about him. This would sky rocket his popularity with a blockbuster film.
The film could be about a 60 year old retired firefighter (stipe) whose wife died from a car accident. He's a shell of his former self and his only daughter hates his guts and vows to never talk to him again. He has just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and has 1 month to live. Hes decides he wants to do good in this world and tunes into a police radio station to listen for house fire calls. Everytime he hears a call he races to the scene and runs into the burning houses with no equipment or gear because his lungs have cancer and he doesn't care about his health anymore. He saves 3 families from 3 different house fires over a month and eventually dies in hospital from his cancer. But a final twist in the movie reveals that a doctor made a mistake at the beginning and diagnosed stipe with cancer when he didnt actually have it. Thus meaning he actually died from the house smoke and not the fake cancer but we see throughout the film that it was the best thing that ever happened to stipe because he was truly happy saving those families and being the hero firefighter he once was. The end.
So it doesnt have to be exactly that script but it could be something that resonates with people and move a ufc star into the mainstream. Then next time stipe fights theyll say "hey remember that actor in that good movie? Well he fighting tonight, let's give it a watch"
There are other potentially great movies that UFC fighters could star in.
