Academy Award winner, Halle Berry, is one of the many celebrity fans of the UFC. However, her relationship with the promotion is somewhat unique compared to other celebrities or Hollywood stars. Berry once played a washed-up MMA fighter in the movie, “Bruised”. While training for that movie, the former UFC women’s flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko broke 2 of Halle’s ribs.
Berry has also been spotted at UFC events numerous times. In 2018, she was in the front row for the long-anticipated rematch between Alexander Gustafsson and Jon Jones. At that event, Halle watched Amanda Nunes knock out the legendary Cris Cyborg. After the fight, the John Wick actress said, “I was at the Cris Cyborg fight when Amanda Nunes knocked her out. I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams that fight would have gone down like that.”

Rumors of the Oscar-winning actress dating UFC featherweight Brian Ortega emerged at one point. Although, these rumors were never confirmed by either party. This happened after Berry posted a selfie with “T-City” at a UFC event while he was training her in MMA. But just recently, the 56-year-old actress uploaded quite a racy picture on her Instagram profile that caught the attention of several celebrities and even UFC fighters.
