Jason David Frank, once known to kids of a certain age as the green Power Ranger Tommy (of Might Morphin’ Power Rangers fame) is now morphing from actor to MMA fighter.

Frank signed a contract with Suckerpunch Entertainment and hopes to fight his first match soon.

He has studied martial arts since the age of 4, and in 2003 was inducted into the World Karate Union Hall of Fame. He is now 35.

Green wasn’t the only suit Frank wore on the Power Rangers. Given the fact that their faces weren’t seen, there was a lot of swapping about of costumes. But when Frank enters the UFC ring for the first time, there will be no hiding.

Jason Frank has admitted that people will want to see the Power Ranger get his ass kicked in the octagon, but intends to bring his best game when he finally gets in there. He is currently training with Melvin Guillard.
