Lupita Nyong’o, Chloe Grace Moretz to play UFC fighters in ‘Strawweight’ from the producers of ‘Hereditary’

The UFC will be the subject of a new movie starring Lupita Nyong’o (Black Panther, US) and Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass).

According to a report from Variety, the film “follows the journeys of two fighters who find themselves competing against each other in the Octagon. One is a young woman (Moretz) whose life is changed forever when she discovers her passion for the UFC, while the other is a former champion (Nyong’o) who is determined to reclaim her title by reinventing herself. Both want the same thing — respect — but only one can come out on top.
