There is a Canadian mixed martial artist currently competing for the UFC in the Middleweight division who is making raves not only as a fighter but also as a cover boy aside.
Meet Elias Theodorou, the winner of the Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia. But besides being an MMA Fighter, he is also the cover of several Harlequin romance novels.
When Georges St-Pierre decided to walk off from MMA due to injury and stress, many have been looking for possible replacements. Among them were Rory MacDonald who main events UFC Fight Night 54 in Halifax, Nova Scotia Saturday on Fox Sports 1.
But now, McDonalds has a competition in Theodorou. He said "I'm not sure about filling his shoes. I'm kind of making my own way. He's a great ambassador for the sport. But he's a nice guy I'd say. That was important to establish the legitimacy of mixed martial arts as a sport instead of people looking at it as two barbarians going in there. I think what I have is a little bit more pizazz and flair. I'm just being myself. And, obviously I have to back it up. But so far, so good-never losing a round and never losing a fight."
When he was asked about his good lucks, he nonchalantly answered "I just wake up like this. I put in a little gel here and there, but mostly I'm blessed waking up as is...I'm Fabio 2.0."
"They seemed to like my backside. For the majority of my shots, the focus is my butt and I'm just kind of looking back at the camera. A little pouty."
The 26 year old Canadian do not only have the looks but also have the wits to back up such a pretty face.
"If looks can kill, they probably will. Honestly, this is what I love to do. And it doesn't matter what's on the exterior. I'm doing what I love on the interior."
"It's what has given me more attention, than most anyway. So I'm using it for all it's worth. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about being punched in the face. That's why I've only been punched three times in the face so far. I've been avoiding it. Doing what what I want to do-beat someone up."
