In an exciting development for both film and sports enthusiasts, Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o and Chloe Grace Moretz are set to star in the upcoming UFC-based mixed martial arts drama, 'Strawweight.'

Now, she takes on the role of a former champion in 'Strawweight' who is determined to reinvent herself and reclaim her title.
