Funny man and UFC event regular Kevin James is going to be starring in a upcoming mixed martial arts movie, according to Deadline.com. While there’s no official title or much information available, it’s safe to say that James will be playing the role up like a typical Happy Madison comedy flick. Here’s the word, via Deadline:
James is attached to play a physics teacher whose school faces drastic cutbacks. In an attempt to save his best friend’s job and the music program his students love, he moonlights in the octagon as a mixed martial arts fighter, ultimately leading to brawling in the UFC
James has been a long time UFC fan, so it seems fitting that he would land the lead role and it could be a great premise to enjoy. We’ll update the story as word comes out.
