With Sylvester Stallone looking to make the sequel to Creed as exciting as possible, MMA fighters have been lining up at the door to get a spot in the upcoming film.
Specifically, Creed 2 is set to feature the son of Ivan Drago. The fictional character was the primary antagonist of Rocky IV and was played by none other than action film star Dolph Lundgren. Now it would appear that UFC’s Sage Northcutt is looking to get in on the action.
Taking to Twitter, Northcutt stated “I think I would be perfect to play Ivan Drago’s son in Creed 2.”
