Former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Jason David Frank was one of the longest running cast members of the show. Starring as the Green Ranger, and subsequently White and Red Rangers in following generations.
Now the star of kiddie martial arts and rubbersuit badguys is all growed up and is taking the big step into Professional Mixed Martial Arts.
Worst Previews says:
“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” star Jason David Frank is now 35 years old and is training to become a full-time UFC fighter. The sixth-degree black belt in karate was inducted into the World Karate Union Hall of Fame in 2003 after developing his own style of fighting called Tose Kune Do.
I was kind of surprised to hear that one of the Power Rangers was actually an accomplsihed Martial Artist because it was clear that the Power Rangers were all trained martial artists…. or dancers.
And this might give a little positive light to the Power Rangers Alumni meetings after recent news had the former Black Ranger charged with drinking and driving and a guy who made one appearance in one episode of Power Rangers got the death penalty for murder and the media was quick to remind you he was on the show.
At least Amy Jo Johnson, the appropriately pretty Pink Ranger has gone on to bigger and better.
I wish Jason David Frank nothing but luck in the highly competitive and brutal sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Even without his Megazord to back him up.
