Pic: Chris Weidman moonlights as rookie cop with UFC superfan Kevin James

Move over Ronda Rousey, Randy Couture, Gina Carano, Quinton Jackson, Georges St-Pierre, and Cung Le, there's a new actor in town.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion Chris Weidman recently traded in his mixed martial arts (MMA) gloves for a police uniform to make a cameo on "Kevin Can Wait," a new sitcom on CBS starring UFC superfan and all-around comedian, Kevin James.

The 32-year-old UFC fighter will play Nick, a rookie cop who teams up with Kevin James' ex-partner. Naturally, it causes a rift between Kevin and his BFF, but also creates a one-sided competition between Kevin and the young super cop.
