Pendred has plenty of free time on his hands to pursue other ventures after retiring from mixed martial arts (MMA) earlier this year following back-to-back losses.

Cathal joins an ever-growing list of current and former MMA fighters who have tried their hand at acting including Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano, Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Keith Jardine, Georges St-Pierre, and many, many more.
