I'll be honest. Whenever UFC or MMA fighters have a leading role in a film, I generally assume that the movie is going to suck. After hearing that on Cung Le's next movie, he will be along side Dave Bautista (aka Batista, the pro-wrestler and aspiring MMA fighter), the pessimistic side of me already assumed the worst.

But, I was wrong. Here's the trailer of his next film titled "The Man With The Iron Fists", which after watching, made me have a complete change of heart. I found out that it's actually an action flick with Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu, but the main thing that grabbed my attention, were the first three words they flashed on screen -- "Quentin Tarantino Presents".

Sold!

Watch the trailer below. Cung Le makes a brief appearance at the 1:08 mark, playing the role of The Bronze Lion:

The 40-year-old San Shou expert will be fighting this weekend against Patrick Cote as part of the highly anticipated UFC 148 event.
