Singer, songwriter Demi Lovato is no stranger to the mixed martial arts (MMA) scene, as the pop star — and former child actress — has been training in all disciplines if MMA for more than one year. She also dated former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold briefly, and is currently in a relationship with Bellator MMA standout Guilherme Vasconcelos.
During a recent appearance on “The Ellen Show,” Lovato talked about her training, what it’s like to date a professional MMA fighter and whether or not she feels any sympathy when “Bomba” lays a beatdown on his opponents inside the Bellator cage.
Hint: She doesn’t.
In fact, Lovato — who was nominated for a Grammy this year — is taking MMA so serious that Jay Glazer of FOX Sports recently revealed that she is actually contemplating partaking in a sanctioned bout. Lovato talks all things MMA starting at the 3:47 mark in the video player embedded above.
