He starred alongside O’Shea Jackson Jr., and now there is a sequel to the movie in 2024 where the ex-UFC champ will turn actor and reprise his role as Connor. Before the movie, Ice Cube’s son who is also reprising his role, spoke to Kamaru Usman about the sequel, his life as a musician, and his film career.

He was naturally asked the most pressing question the fans would want to know—who are his favorite UFC fighters? His answer is Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. Jackson said, “Justin or Max? Justin or Max, bro. Like there’s nothing like those two, you know, you about to see a good one like, it’s they not about to dance. They not about to like (laughs) work some holes like. Like your best bet is to grab them. Don’t let them get too swinging, man. So yeah, Justin, Max is my dog. I hate the thing about beating these guys, and like kicking with. It is like I take their losses to heart so much now. I will be mad at people, bro, like, I am a vengeful dog I am vengeful.”
