He is, after all, the greatest showman the UFC has ever had. As such, his Hollywood debut has caused much uproar among the fandom. The film is a reiteration of the 1989 film starring legends like Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot. This time, Dalton’s adventures will be led by Hollywood A-lister Jake Gyllenhaal.
