Nick Jonas burst onto the music scene in 2006 as a member of the sibling pop trio collectively known as The Jonas Brothers. The brothers made a name for themselves on the Disney Channel and would go on to become global sensations with songs like 'What A Man Gotta Do.'

As his career has progressed, Nick Jonas has been involved in several acting projects, including landing a role in the MMA drama, Kingdom. To prepare for the part, the now 27-year-old trained with former UFC star and Ultimate Fighter tournament winner, Joe 'Daddy' Stevenson.

Stevenson was very impressed with Jonas. The fighter discussed the pop star's MMA skill with Vanity Fair. 'Nick Jonas can pull off a flying triangle! That is a technique that half of the people that do jiu-jitsu can't even do. You can't fake it. He did it.'

He may not have a black belt like other members of our list, but impressing a mixed martial artist the caliber of a Joe Stevenson with his skills, is a major feather in Jonas' cap.
