Grave Digger didn’t stand a chance against that . . . guy?
Jason David Frank (not pictured above) played Tommy Oliver, the greasy sax guy lookin’ Green Ranger in the first season of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”. If you don’t remember him, ask your skanky cousin in the tweety bird “attitude” T-shirt and the pink sweatpants with Skoal stains. She remembers. Recently
Frank announced he was going to fight MMA. This differed from many former actor announcements in that Frank actually meant it, did it, and just won his first bout, presumably with no film crews from VH1 there to film it as a reality show.
The amateur video is below. He fought against the more-experienced Jonathan Mack, who landed several hard punches (including one that knocked Frank over) in the beginning of the first round. Frank turned it around, though, finding an opening and pulling Mack into an omo plata for the win in the first round. Holy crap, he nailed the omo plata in the first round of his first fight against a more experienced fighter. Did he summon a Zord? Did I just make a Zord joke? FML. Anyway, for those among you unfamiliar with the oma plata, that’s when you Ric Flair chop somebody in the liver, then you tune in Tokyo, then you pull out his heart while chanting “oma plata, oma plata, oma plata.” Then you go to his house and fix a romantic dinner for his wife and talk about her needs.
Power Rangers are hardc0re.

He doesn’t seem so badass when you realize the ref took him down without a problem at the end of the fight.
I’m glad you covered this, Panda. I would’ve been the dork actually explaining what an omaplata is and demonstrating on my Japanese fuck pillow while everyone basically wished they could give me a swirly through the internet.
Seriously though, if you guys want me to show you, I’ve got some pictures of me in my gi on my phone…
this match would have ended much faster if he would have just hit him on the “z” in his chest.
My fuck pillow just told me we can only be friends from now on

Hungrybrian that was so funny!
No semblance of penis.
the most important part of an oma plata is when you whisper “say hi to yu motha for me”
Nice to see Dave Mustaine is still making music.
No need for the dragonzord NOR Saba. Damn Tommy, way to level up your arsenal.
