Former UFC double champion pulled off a Mark Ruffalo. The UFC star revealed a secret from the upcoming Marvel movie Black Panther on the official UFC weigh-ins show. While doing a fun segment – UFC fighters as superheroes, a former MMA athlete couldn’t resist but reveal a current UFC champion playing the part in the next Black Panther movie.

It’s not Marvel’s Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo but the former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier who revealed, on the live stream, that the first Nigerian UFC champion Kamaru Usman will play a role in the upcoming Black Panther movie.

The pound-for-pound number one fighter in the world had requested to be in the movie earlier. In a conversation with Joe Rogan, Usman had talked about his wish to star in the epic Marvel movie. And now it has come to fruition.

While matching UFC fighters as superheroes, the host pitched the upcoming Marvel movie release, Cormier asked the rest of the people in the weigh-in show, “You know who’s in there?”

“Kamaru Usman; Kamaru Usman is in the new Black Panther movie… I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell you guys that,” said Cormier.
