[h2]Mighty Morphin Power Ranger morphs into an MMA fighter[/h2]
By Maggie Hendricks

Jason David Frank, who was once a Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger, is now trying to use his super powers to turn into a mixed martial artist.

The former action star from the hit series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" has officially made the move to mixed martial arts, and while training with UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard, he hopes to make his real fighting experience as successful as he did on television.

Frank is hoping to fight as soon as possible.

"I was supposed to fight in 2007, but it fell through. In truth, I've wanted to put the work in until I'm ready," Frank said in an interview from the Suckerpunch website. "I know I have a target on my back. Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger."


And this is the moment where I weep for MMA.

Frank may just turn into a great fighter, though it's doubtful considering that he is 35 and worried about signing a management team before trying to schedule a fight. But this just furthers the notion that MMA is a fad, and can be used as a publicity stunt for someone with a flailing career. Considering that Frank's last acting job was a 2007 direct-to-video film called, "The Junior Defenders," he clearly needs a career boost.

At the same time, the beauty of MMA is that there is no hiding in the cage. When pretenders have tried it out in the past, they've been shown the floor of the cage, very quickly. Right, Jose Canseco?

[metrokid26]

Yea it's pretty crazy that he's fighting at his age...I didn't read this article so good find

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

I still remember how bummed Power Ranger fans were when he skipped out on his "debut" match.

And I see where the writer is coming from (about the publicity stunt angle), but c'mon, this dude's been studying martial arts since he was 4 yearsold.

 

[jimmy digital]

The Black Rangerjust pled not guilty to DUI.

Lawyers for Walter Jones -- the dude who donned black spandex to fight Rita Repulsa as "ZackTaylor" back in the day -- were in an Alabama court yesterday to enter the plea.

Jones was arrested back in July when cops said he was driving while hammered around 4 AM.

A trial has been set for mid-November.

Walter the black ranger is a good dude. The DUI...I can let that pass. He's allowed one mighty morphin drunkfest.
Jason David frank is kind of a prick though. He had had fights, the bids are on YouTube. He's not bad. The guys was born with a black belt around his neck.He stays talking S about Austin st John thogu, the of red ranger. This dude really thinks that because he's the green ranger he's some
kind of god. The red ranger beat his butt in the show and could do it in real life. Austin 4 evar
