Yeah, because size, looks and macho roles you've played suddenly count as fighting skills....
Momoa does Brazilian jiu-jitsu though.
He's a white belt, so still very much at the beginner phase. He'll also almost definitely be one of those celebs that only does privates and rarely spars.
He'll almost definitely have strength and size at his disposal, but in terms of fighting, we've already kinda established what would happen at UFC 1. A skilled bodyguard would (I really hope) have solid grappling knowledge, alongside striking.
And a gun (since this probably is the US). Why go to the ground with an unknown person, and risk a stabbing injury when you can threaten someone with a gun?
Why would he risk injuries in a real fight when those could damage his career temporarily, though?
Never underestimate your opponent, especially a stranger in the public you've never met before.
I have a friend who is a retired military police officer. He is built like a tank, tall muscular and intimidating.
He's the one who taught me never to underestimate anyone. He man handled, beat and fought countless people. But he also admitted that he'd been beaten bruised and hospitalized by people shorter and weaker than him.
When you fight someone in public, you never know who you're dealing with .... he could be an untrained jerk like you and me .... or they could be a 150 lb MMA fighter and highly trained martial artist with expert training.
Or the person you're fighting could have a knife, a pencil, a screwdriver, a piece of glass or their friend or friends you didn't see or believed wouldn't interfere all jump you and beat you to a pulp.
You're absolutely right.
For sure the probability of a dandy actor to be match for a psicho, who is preparing since who knows when, for the kill is really high. /s
You know people tend to specialise in a field of activity for a reason. I will go with the punny but we'll trained and conditioned bodyguards over the "imposing tank" who is said to be tough right about... any time!
