Follow Us
The UFC has truly become a breeding ground for the next generation of action stars. And Jake Ellenberger is just the latest addition to this growing list of UFC fighters making the jump to the big and small screens. The former UFC fighter has moved on to greener pastures since his retirement. Since retiring from the octagon, he has found a new calling in the entertainment industry. His latest gig has him in front of the camera, and he’s been causing a stir with his latest social media post. In the picture, Ellenberger donned a police uniform, tricking fans into thinking he had traded in his MMA gloves for a badge. Even Derek Brunson, known for his humor, was caught off guard. The 37-year-old had everyone swayed with his clever post, and it elicited a wide range of responses from fans.
It’s becoming more and more common to see UFC fighters making a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. We have Conor McGregor, who is set to grace the silver screen with his charisma as he co-stars in the highly anticipated Road House remake with Jake Gyllenhaal. Meanwhile, Nick Diaz is making his acting debut in the upcoming film Darkness of Man, co-starring with action legend Jean-Claude Van Damme. And now, Jake Ellenberger is the latest fighter to jump on the bandwagon and add his own flavor to the mix.
Ellenberger to Twitter and posted a photo of his new look. Writing, “New York, Good Morning”, he’s now got his sights set on a new horizon, showing that you can teach an old dog new tricks. And as ‘The Juggernaut’ gears up for the small screen, he has got the fans thinking otherwise.
