If UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal opts for an acting career, the chances of him landing the role of a street fighter or an east-coast gangster are quite high. He is one of the most seasoned MMA veterans, with a 35-15 record, and one of the best boxers in the UFC.

Jorge Masvidal has had a wild journey that has taken him from being a struggling MMA fighter to a UFC superstar. From scrapping in underground fight-clubs to doing reality shows in remote places in the Dominican Republic, reviving his MMA career and becoming the BMF champion, 'Gamebred' has done it all.

His life story deserves an autobiography with Masvidal playing himself, handing out 'three piece and a soda' combos to villains. The movie could be titled 'Gamebred'. It would, in all likelihood, be a hit amongst fight fans.

UFC Fight Night: Jiri Prochazka hurts Dominick Reyes.

Jiri Prochazka might be new to the UFC, with his promotional debut coming in 2020, but he is an MMA veteran with nearly a decade of experience. The Czech fighter is a knockout-specialist with a liking for blood-gushing violence inside the octagon.

While Prochazka's nickname 'Denisa' might make one feel he is an effeminate personality, his austere lifestyle and adherence to a strict samurai code suggests the complete opposite.

The No.2-ranked UFC light heavyweight has an unorthodox Muai-Thai fighting style that involves a high frequency of spinning elbows and flying knees. Add to that his over-the-top 'war hair' and persona, and you have a unique MMA fighter ready to be cast on the big screen.

Jiri Prochazka's personality could certainly land him a variety of movie roles. Perhaps he could star in the remake of 'The Last Samurai'? Comment below to let us know which movie would best suit the 28-3 MMA fighter.

Watch what spending a day with Jiri Prochazka looks like below:
