Berry is starring an directing a new movie about MMA.

Over the last few months, it's been no secret that Halle Berry is a big UFC fan. The Oscar-award winning actress is currently directing and starring in a film called Bruised which is all about MMA. In order to get ready for the film, Berry has been training at Cris Cyborg's gym and has even become great friends with her. If you remember, Berry even sat ringside when Cyborg fought Amanda Nunes, although she eventually lost fairly early on in the fight. Now it appears as though Berry is training with Brian Ortega who is the second-ranked featherweight fighter in the UFC.

Ortega spoke with TMZ Sports about the training regiment and how he specifically wants to teach her the way of Jiu-Jitsu.


"My main goal is to get her jiu-jitsu looking dope as f*ck," Ortega said. "We're gonna drill her hard."

The UFC fighter also explained how he is super excited to be able to work with Halle and that he plans to keep things professional between the two. Back in February, Berry called Ortega her Man Crush Monday on Twitter.

Are you excited to see this new film?
