MMA fighters just generally aren't good actors I see no reason to have ever thought they would behttps://twitter.com/rebeccawatson/status/1359887533455204354 …

It's like being surprised a plumber is bad at acting in a movie playing a character who also has a job as a plumber Unless the onscreen action consists of nothing but realistic plumbing scenes I don't know why this would be a surprise

The most bizarre thing about this was stuff like hiring Rousey for Mortal Kombat *purely as a voice actor* Not posing with her muscles, not doing mo-cap of actual fighting Just her voice reading lines, even though she didn't win any championships for talking

I dunno It's like when they hired Katy Perry to play Smurfette even though the movie wasn't a musical and she didn't do any singing Like they just watched her interviews and thought she sounded like the character I mean... Sure I guess

If they want muscly actors they should get professional wrestlers--people who know how to talk and perform for an audience.

It's also kinda disrespectful of the hard work stuntpeople do to not just know how to fight but how to sell it on screen. What is effective in the octagon or in self protection is not necessarily what looks good on screen

And a big part of it is to ignore pain and distraction (such as conversational cues from the opponent), which I suspect is related to the wooden acting. All the training runs counter to one of the things that make for good acting.
