Former TV Power Ranger Star to Make UWC Debut at Judgement Day:
"As an actor Jason David Frank was used to battling alien villains as a star on the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" television series. Now, the former action hero-turned-Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter will battle the real thing when he takes on 205-pound warrior James Handy inside the cage at UWC® 8 JUDGEMENT DAY on May 22 at the Patriot Center.
The California native, now fighting out of Houston-TX based Rising Sun Karate, will put his 3-0 record on the line in a three-round amateur bout against a tough Chicago opponent who is unbeaten in five contests.
"I know I have a target on my back," said Frank, who goes by "Fearless Frank" and is the founder/CEO of Christian-based MMA clothing company Jesus Didn't Tap. "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 and know how to handle myself inside the cage."
Frank, an accomplished 6th degree black belt, began martial arts training at age four at Red Dragon Karate, earned his first degree black belt at 12 and opened his own gym at 18. One year later, he put his skills to use when he was cast as the Green Power Ranger "Tommy Oliver" in the popular children's television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."

Did everyone else know this except me?
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
I had no clue that was his nickname
That just seems like poor marketing to me.

"When i get in there, in his face ,pressin the action,I'm RUFF NECKIN'EM,I'm throwin him around,I'm punchin him,hes punchin me, I'm eatin his shots and I'm Blastin him back in the face he's not goin to be able to handle it ." - Chris Leben on how his fight with Anderson Silva is gonna go.
If you’re referring to him being the founder/CEO of JDT, then yes. I didn’t know his nickname was “Fearless Frank”, I’d prefer “I used to be The Green Ranger” Jason David Frank
I’m referring to the JDT thing. The fearless frank thing, while hilarious in its place as on of the worst nicknames in the sport, wasn’t what caught my attention.

It’s not only odd. It’s silly.
Of course Jesus didn’t tap. His hands were nailed to the fucking cross.

I wonder if “Forgive them, for they know not what they do” would count as a verbal submission…

Depends on your belief
If it were through his palms he could use his fingers and if through his wrists he could use the entirety of the back of his hand. Either way, Jesus could have tapped. :p
what an ignorant post
i think the clothing line is a bit controversial, and have mixed feelings about it,
but the whole point is, Jesus COULD have just given up his cause, claimed he was NOT the messiah, and then would NOT have been crucified under pilate.
The lack of “tapping out” was that he didnt give up his cause to avoid the pain of crucifixion. Know your facts first!

heh everyone is using Kimbo as their whipping boy these days.
I’ll be honest, one Frank’s last outings (the only one I’ve seen on youtube) didn’t have me thinking his skills were much past Kimbo. He left himself open and nearly had his night end early. I suppose anyone can succumb to a lucky punch but it seems sort of funny to suggest that he is anywhere above Kimbo at this point.
I think Kimbo would maul him.
UWC … make it happen!

Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger
I’m pretty sure most of them want to beat you up for bringing us the moronic Jesus Didn’t Tap clothing line.

Neither did he fight for sport or train in martial arts, that I know of. Why, I’m beginning to think this whole analogy is fundamentally flawed and furthermore is simply an awkward way to make money out of of religious fervor in yet another niche market! How preposterous!
Everything about this is hilarious

They’re using an amatuer Z-level celebrity fight to sell UWC now? Ew.

Again, if he doesn’t come out to the power rangers music, or at least the green ranger flute thing… I will be displeased.

Question
Is he 3-0 as an amateur? If not why is this an amateur fight?

sure he did. moses was told to speak to the rock, and instead, smote it out of anger, and therefore couldn’t go into the promise land.
