Michael Bisping (30-9), the former UFC middleweight champion and current color commentator, will take on his first leading role in Atlas King, an action thriller scheduled for release on Digital and On Demand on August 21, 2026.
Bisping plays Atlas King, a former MMA legend who is pulled back into the criminal underworld after returning home for his closest friend’s funeral. Cuba Gooding Jr. portrays crime boss Clay Emerson, while Sarah Wayne Callies and George Finn round out the main cast.
The film was written and directed by Nika Agiashvili, who also serves as a producer alongside Bisping and Finn.
Bisping previously appeared in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Triple Threat and the Den of Thieves franchise, but Atlas King marks his first leading role in a feature film.
