5 UFC fighters who should consider acting careers

#2. Valentina Shevchenko - UFC women's flyweight champion

UFC 231 Shevchenko vs Jedrzejczyk

Imagine a stunningly gorgeous and highly skilled female MMA fighter who is known to leave her opponents in a pool of blood before breaking out Lezkingka dance moves on their corpses. That is Valentina Shevchenko for you, and she deserves to be in nothing less than an A-list movie star.

Nicknamed 'Bullet', Shevchenko (21-3) is the reigning UFC women's flyweight champion who has been untouchable for more than three years now. Having won her title in 2018 and defending it five times, she's one of the toughest and most dominant fighters in the UFC.

Valentina Shevchenko is a highly decorated kickboxer, with a number of gold medals in Muay-Thai and kickboxing world championships. She is equally versed in striking and submission skills, and holds the record for most consecutive wins and the most knockouts in UFC flyweight history.

Given her personality, the dancing demoness of Kyrgyzstan would perfectly suit a role in a James Bond movie. She would make for a popular Bond girl. That's because she knows multiple languages, just like a secret agent who's top of her class.

#1. Conor McGregor - former UFC 'champ-champ'

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Conor McGregor

The idea that Conor McGregor should consider an acting career should have been discussed much more by now.

First of all, the Irishman would make a ton of money should he choose to take the road to Hollywood Hill. Second, McGregor's charisma has earned him the biggest fan base in UFC history, and is a key reason for him being the superstar he is today. Therefore, there's very little that could go wrong if the 'Notorious' is cast in a movie.

Conor McGregor does not mind being the biggest villain in the UFC, and could certainly pull off a similar role on the big screen. The Irishman would swoon millions of fans when he makes a grand entry in a classic Rolls Royce, walking out in one of his excellently well-fitted suits.
