Sylvester Stallone took to his twitter, teasing a new project that he is planning on doing a movie about MMA/UFC caged fighting. As you can see, Sly tweeted:

“The New Rocky… Update it with a young man with modern problems ,but he would not be called Rocky, just the philosophy would be used.”

“I would not be in it… It is an modern extension of the heart and philosophy . MMA too.”

“Yet a great MMA film should be done at once … Love must be the central theme like my buddy Rocky experienced. Pleasure/pain= LIFE”

Hmmmm, so what Sly is saying is that he is planning an MMA/UFC film that would be more like Rocky? I like the idea, a lot! As long as it won’t star Channing Tatum as the leading role, we don’t need another version of that aweful movie, “Fighting”.

It won’t surprise me that Sly will be eyeing, Randy Couture, as the leading role for this flick. Maybe Brock Lesnar would get a small role for it, as an opponent. I’m sure Dana White would get a cameo. There’s been fictional movies based on all sports but not many on caged fighting. If this will be Sly’s next movie after “The Expendables”, I’m all for it. The MMA/UFC community deserves their own film and it needs to be done by Sly. A Rocky styled MMA movie is a creative idea!
