I mean, I&#8217;ve trained a lot and sparred a lot over the years, but you know, within the realm of not killing each other,&#8221; adding, &#8220;And I&#8217;d love to just, one day, go, &#8216;Right, what have I gotten here?&#8217; And I&#8217;ll probably end up flat on my back, starry eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans immediately started dreaming up matchups \u2013 Chris Evans, Jake Paul, even a Misfits Boxing-style showdown. Some pushed back, noting the physical risk and the huge difference between looking good on screen and surviving a real cage fight.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about a dream opponent by Halle Berry, Hemsworth joked, \u201cOne of the ones that retired a long time ago, and I could just run away from them until they got tired, and then, bam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t dismiss his MMA cred entirely. Hemsworth also cited Geaorges St-Pierre and Alexander Volkanovski as his favourites, proving he knows his fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, Thor swapping movie sets for the cage seems unlikely. Yet in an era where Jake Paul became a professional boxer, Hemsworth flirting with MMA suddenly doesn\u2019t feel so impossible \u2013 and fans are eating up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Hemsworth drops jaw-dropping MMA hint\u00a0 Hollywood meets the octagon.\u00a0 While Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano already have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":482911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-482910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/482911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
