Hollywood’s Jeremy Piven is ready to show the world a different side of his acting range. Taking on a more serious, quieter role, he found an unlikely source of inspiration.
“It’s hard not to be impressed with Jon Jones,” says Piven, who is a devoted fan of MMA. “Look at all the areas he’s mastered. He’s doing kickboxing, judo, jiujitsu or Muay Thai, at any moment, in a cage. That has to be hell. I have so much respect for him.”
From safe confines outside the cage, Piven watched Jones claim the vacant heavyweight title this past March in a dominating performance against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Jones had not competed in more than three years, yet quickly reminded the fight world why he has no equal.
