Former Green Power Ranger makes MMA debut at Jan. 30 Lonestar Beatdown

Houston mixed martial arts fans, take notice: you don't have to travel to Las Vegas to see good MMA action. Lonestar Beatdown, a Houston-based amateur MMA promotion that runs regular shows around town, is holding another event on January 30th at The Arena off 59.

The card is headlined by the much-anticipated amateur MMA debut of heavyweight Jason David Frank. Frank, 36, is probably best known for playing the role of the Green Power Ranger on the hit 90's TV show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. His decision to venture into mixed martial arts is not a surprising one, as Frank is well-versed in several different martial arts. He also maintains close ties with the MMA community through his clothing company, Jesus Didn't Tap.

"I know I have a target on my back," Frank said in September when he announced his decision to enter mixed martial arts competition. "Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger. But I am no Kimbo; I've been training for a very long time. I wanted to get in there before, but I got injured. But I'll be ready when the time comes."

Frank will be facing Jonathan "The Mack Truck" Mack, a brawling and powerful newcomer with one professional fight on his record. Frank's MMA debut has been highly anticipated, and will no doubt be covered heavily by MMA media around the world.

The rest of the card will be filled by hot prospects from various MMA gyms around Houston. Featured bouts include two title fights: Bobby Powers takes on Joe Cruz in a flyweight title match, and crowd favorite Hossan Walker takes on Craig Gardener from Katy's Westside MMA in a welterweight title fight.

Tickets range from $20 to $75 and can be purchased at the Lonestar Beatdown website. For the full card, check out The Cage Door, your best source for all things Houston MMA.

Dude guy has some fighting cred though. Maybe he isnt a joke. I kinda hope he isnt.

I want to see him fight. If I was his opponent I would have someone dressed as one of those goofy ass monsters walk with me to the ring.

You laugh at this, but he's been in quite a few muay thai fights, he's been doing this for years.
I think he has a fair shot at this, but the guy he's facing doesn't exactly look like a push over. :lol

[ATRAIN]

I am willing to put money on that Stretch was a power rangers fan and he is excited about this fight.

[Whisky Dog]

I wish they would bring back the pink ranger and see is she still has perky titties.

Also bring the black dude ranger who looked like Carlton Banks.

IF he had any money, he'd likely be betting on him..

go go power rangers! :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

The green ranger wasn't shit without his flute/badass dragonzord. The white ranger wasn't shit without his badass talking dagger. Jason for life

[Stringer_Bell]

I hated when they brought in Tommy, it was like everyone forgot who the REAL leader of the rangers was...Jason would probably beat his ass down with the fury, but I heard he was doing gay pr0n now so he's probably busy with that.

No ill will to the man tho, hope he does good. He'll never make it big time but can prolly put on a good show with lower level fighters.

Alrighty, I think I understand now...

Jason (red ranger 1) became a paramedic, possibly also a firefighter.

Yeah she was Areola. And she had nice areolas.

[cornbread]

Wow, nice omplata/armbar from the Green Ranger!

[cornbread]

Zordon would be proud.

[Stringer_Bell]

Ohhh yeaaa! Some trivia, that film is apparently known as "Sex Academy" in Europe. Anyway, that chick is "YES! CARTWHEEL" approved. :toast

Good job Tommy! The post fight interview sounded like he knew it wasn't a walk in the park and he's needs to improve a lot...I don't see him moving onto Strikeforce or UFC, but if he fights close to town I wouldn't mind checking it out.

[DMX7]

I would wreck the pink ranger.

Zordon would be proud.
