Jason David Frank - better known as "the Green Ranger" from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but now going by the nickname "Fearless" - made quick work of pro boxer Jose "Garfield" Vasquez in his professional MMA debut tonight at Texas Cage Fighting's "Puro Combate" in Houston, TX.
The man behind the Jesus Didn't Tap clothing brand needed just 46 seconds to take down the 5'8", 265-pound Vasquez, flatten him out and submit him with a rear-naked choke. The 36-year old Frank had previously gone 4-0 as an amateur with four stoppages. After the fight, Frank said that he plans to drop to light-heavyweight going forward.

I see Herschel Walker in his future.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
Cue Green Ranger theme song...
Keep sleepin' on me...

it's too easy to make fun of this guy
but to be one hundred percent truthful
he’s for real
a very decorated martial artist and from what i’ve seen of him on the ammy level he’s just basically ran over guys outclassing them.
who is keizer soze

Didn't know he ran Jesus Didn't Tap
Good for him.
Por isso eu tomo ópio / é um remédio / sou um convalescente do momento / moro no rés-do-chão do pensamento / e ver passar a vida faz-me tédio
Do you think there will be a time that we can talk about this guy as an mma fighter without starting off by the former power ranger guy?
Why?
I think its endearing. How many action heros from the 90’s turned out to be less than what you perceived them to be as a kid? look at van dam, getting KOed by bodyguards…. I think its awesome that someone I used to idolize is a fighter. Hell, he may very well be one of the many inspirations that turned me to fighting.
LOL Jesus Didn't Tap
That is pretty clever.
There are only two fighters in the world who might be able to defeat Jon Jones: Ken and Ryu.
if he gets his way to The Ultimate Fighter
they’d be looking at some very good ratings.
The NBA: Where Donaghy Happens.
I liked him better when he turned good and became the White Ranger.
Also the guy he was fighting was 5’8", 265lbs? How do you flatten out a tub of lard like that for a submission?
When I read the nickname Testicula, the first thing that popped into my head was a vampiristic scrotum that can only be killed with a silver cross driven through the vas deferens.
