“The Count” has been keeping himself busy as of late. The fighter is currently gearing up for an epic title defense against former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. However, it would appear that the fighter just recently had something else on his plate.
UFC middleweight champion Michael “The Count” Bisping has decided to stretch his acting muscles once more. This time, the champion has landed a major role in an upcoming British sports drama.
The British film My Name is Lenny will star Josh Helman, who will be portraying real-life bare knuckle boxing icon Lenny McLean. In the film, “The Count” will be playing McLean’s rival fighter Roy Shaw.
A sneak peak in the film can be viewed below. My Name is Lenny releases June 9 to theaters and June 12 to DVD.
