10 Times Fighters Used Their Signature Move In A Movie

10. Chael Sonnen - Grudge Match

In his MMA career, Chael Sonnen was mainly known inside the cage for his unmatched power-double leg takedown and his propensity for getting caught in submissions in fights where he seemed to be up on the judges' scorecards.

However, despite being consistently ranked as one of the best fighters in the world at 185lbs, it was on the mic rather than in the cage where Sonnen established himself as perhaps the greatest personality in the history of the sport.

In that sense, Sonnen's signature move is his trash-talking, The American Gangster used his supreme wit and pro-wrestling inspired promos to sell many a fan on his abilities in the cage.

Chael's gift of gab saw him feature in the 2013 movie Grudge Match, portraying himself. In it, Chael cuts a promo on Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro, before being unceremoniously KO'd by Stallone with one punch.

This wasn't the only time an on-screen appearance mirrored Sonnen's fighting career though. In 2012 Chael P appeared in the Kevin James comedy, Here Comes The Boom. In the film, James' character submits Sonnen, only for Chael to claim that the had not in fact tapped, in a manner similar to his real-life fight with Paulo Filho in the WEC.
