This is no surprise as James has been an MMA fan for a long time. He has trained with the likes of Bas Rutten, and has worked with Rampage Jackson. In the film, James will play a teacher trying to revive his school’s music program, so he gets a second job as an MMA fighter. Surprisingly, he makes it to the UFC, just like Kimbo Slice did.
The UFC will be all over this idea as this is a great promotion for their product. As far as the story goes, it isn’t too far-fetched as one of the UFC’s superstars, Rich “Ace” Franklin, used to be a math teacher.
“Ace” as in Ace Ventura since he looks like Jim Carrey
