It appears the Power Ranger is ready to take it to the cage. Jason David Frank, one of the stars of the popular 90's TV show “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” is set to make his amateur mixed martial arts debut at the Lonestar Beatdown on Jan. 30 in Houston.
A few months ago, MMAWeekly.com was informed of Frank's decision to make the move to mixed martial arts. It has now become a reality.
The former TV star's first fight will be at heavyweight according to his agent and manager Brian Butler of Suckerpunch Entertainment.
A lifelong martial artist, Frank is serious about the move into MMA and he's taking the right steps to make sure his career is slow and steady in the beginning.
"I know I have a target on my back," Frank said back in September when he announced he would be making the move. "Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger. But I am no Kimbo; I've been training for a very long time. I wanted to get in there before, but I got injured. But I'll be ready when the time comes."
For his first fight, Frank will take on Jonathan Mack, another newcomer to the sport who currently has one professional fight to his credit.
Jason Frank will also make an appearance on MMAWeekly Radio next week to talk about his transition from TV to the cage. Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for more information on Frank's MMA debut.
