Ice-T reveals Jungle Fight role

Rapper-turned-actor Ice T has narrated a documentary about Brazilian MMA pioneer Wallid Ismail and his Jungle Fight organization. The film, which is called Enter The Jungle will focus on the Amazonian promotion and everything it takes to get the show together.

“You need to watch this movie,” Ice T told his fans. “If there’s no other reason to watch this, I just got finished narrating it. It’s going to be good. Don’t miss it.”

The gangsta rap pioneer has been a long supporter of mixed martial arts and has been seen in the front row of major UFC events in Las Vegas alongside his wife, Nicole ‘CoCo’ Austin.

Dillashaw vs. Cruz in February or March

The highly-anticipated bantamweight title fight between current 135lb champ TJ Dillashaw and former champion Dominick Cruz is rumored to go ahead early next year.

Despite the lack of promotion for the event, Bellator president Scott Coker believes the show was a success.

“It was like Woodstock meets MMA,” he told MMAJunkie. “I think it was well-received. It was my first time at a motocross event, and I walked in and saw all the different events happening. People were fighting their way out of the stadium to go watch the fights.”
