UFC Hall of Famer and former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell is no stranger to Hollywood as he has appeared in numerous shows, such as HBO's "Entourage" and most recently "Hawaii Five-0." Now the retired mixed martial artist is tackling a new role in
Kick-Ass 2. His scenes that were filmed involved John Leguizamo and a whole lot of MMA/Cage fighters. A few of the professional MMA fighters that joined Liddell on set were
Jason Radcliffe, Fraser "The Omen" Opie and James Stones Hurrell.
MMA UK put out a casting call for the scene(s) last week:
