10 UFC Fighters You Didn't Know Tried Their Hand At Acting

9. Bas Rutten

Bas Rutten spends a lot of time on commentary and hosting MMA talk shows these days, so it's easy to forget that once upon a time, he was a UFC champion. Rutten also happened to show up in Kevin James' MMA themed "Here Comes to Boom" last year. Maybe you saw him in it (though if you're lucky, you didn't see it at all). He apparently has close ties with Kevin James, as before that, he also had a role in Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Zookeeper, and will appear in the highly anticipated sequel (by someone, presumably, since the original surpassed the hundred million mark) Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Rutten has a couple of other film credits as well, but nothing as mainstream.
