At this point in a life that has seen him play a seemingly endless array of iconic roles on film and television, get nominated for an Academy Award, and become a pioneer for Hispanic actors in Hollywood, Edward James Olmos can’t possibly get overwhelmed by too much, if anything.
Then he saw former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
“When I was watching Anderson Silva fight, I really started to see the beauty and the complexity of the sport, and I’ve been watching him fight for the last six years,” Olmos said of his exposure to mixed martial arts.
