LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In his roles as the Green and White Rangers on "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," Jason David Frank has taken on enemies of all shapes and sizes.
But now, he's ready to battle some new foes - professional mixed martial artists!

Jason, 35, recently signed on with Sucker Punch Entertainment management team with the hopes of becoming a UFC fighter.
And while his acting skills were all he needed to defeat his "Power Rangers" adversaries, Jason will be relying on a much different skill set to achieve success in the ring - his 30 years of martial arts training.

Jason, a 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, which translates to "The Way of the Fighting Fists."
So does he now have visions of becoming a UFC champ?
"Just to go out there and do my best, and prove that I'm a real fighter," he told SuckerPunchent.com of his UFC goals. "I'm not looking for any titles specifically. Ultimately, I want to give my fans something to watch and be proud of."

And after several years of beating up fake foes on the "Power Rangers" '90s TV show and big screen movie, Jason said he's looking forward to taking on some stiffer competition.
"It won't be any putties or monsters at the end of my fists and feet," he added. "It's going to be for real this time."
While Jason is hoping to make his mark in the ring, some of his former castmates have recently been in the headlines for various other reasons.
Walter Jones, who played the original Black Power Ranger, was reportedly arrested for DUI in Alabama in July 2009.
Meanwhile, Skylar Deleon, who appeared in an episode of "Power Rangers" at age 14, was sentenced to the death penalty after being convicted in April 2009 of murdering an Arizona couple and a California man.
As for original Pink Power Ranger Amy Jo Johnson, she has continued her acting career, with several films and nearly 20 TV appearances under her belt, including roles on "ER," "Spin City" and most notably the role of Julie Emrick on "Felicity."

Yea Jason David Frank is no joke. I read an article in black belt magazine and he was saying how he actually regretted doing Power Rangers. How it hurt his martial arts career and it took along time for people to start taking him seriously.
There was also pictures floating around showing that the red ranger actor is now doing gay porn films. Interesting where the power ranger's careers end up.
I also had pictures showing that the red ranger actor is now doing gay porn films while I fap to them. Interesting where the power ranger's careers end up.
