The fighter is already taking his first steps without the aid of a crutch and even took the time to watch The Expendables, the movie in which he had a role playing alongside Sylvester Stallone and a number of other fighters, like Randy Couture.

“According to Stallone, fighters have mean faces and would be perfect as red berets! I just watched it; it’s great,” he said over twitter, breaking his down the experience as an actor.

“My brother and I were in three scenes in the movie. I call the general at the start, speaking in perfect Spanish! Hehehe! The red berets were all fighters,” recounted the fighter, then heaping praise on Randy Couture.

“Couture performed really well in the film. He has charisma and a future as an actor. Good world, Captain America!”

Stallone explains how at first he didn’t like the actors playing the role of soldiers, till he remembered it was a stable of Jiu-Jitsu and MMA fighters, much more convincing as warriors.
