Comedian and MMA superfan Adam Hunter host a night of combat sports comedy featuring punchlines from three of its most iconic personalities. The UFC Comedy Jam, where two of the most competitive professions in the world collide for a night of good times.
Filmed at L.A. Comedy Club in Las Vegas, Nevada in October 2021, the comedy special is highlighted by fighters-turned-stand-up comedians Chael Sonnen, Henry Cejudo, and Din Thomas.
Hunter is one of the hottest comedians around today. He headlines all over the country, putting his heart and soul into every performance with an act that is brash, deep, and hilarious. Adam delivers a powerful message that keeps audiences on the edges of their seats. Adam was a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” He was on Showtime’s “Whiteboyz in Da Hood,” CBS’s “The Late Show,” “Chelsea Lately”, “Comic’s Unleashed,” and has appeared on “Conan O’Brien” and “Jimmy Kimmel.” He has appeared in numerous countdown specials on E!, MTV, VH1, CMT, TruTV, and Comedy Central. He was the subject of MTV’s “True Life: I am a Comedian.” Adam hosts a popular MMA podcast entitled “MMA Roasted” and has his latest comedy special “Throwing Punches” currently airing on UFC Fight Pass.
Highly regarded by many as the greatest trash-talker in MMA history, Chael Sonnen has never been at a loss for words or punchlines. Beginning his MMA career in 1997, Sonnen competed for the UFC, where he became a top contender in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions and challenged for both the UFC Light Heavyweight and UFC Middleweight Championships. Sonnen has also fought in the WEC, Pancrase, and most recently for Bellator MMA. Sonnen is often considered one of the best mixed martial artists never to have won a UFC Championship. In 2014, Sonnen began working as an MMA analyst for ESPN and currently host The Chael Sonnen Show.
Known to many of his fans as the “King of Cringe,” Henry Cejudo is one of the greatest athletes and personalities in MMA history. He is the former Ultimate Fighting Championship Flyweight Champion and Bantamweight Champion. He is the fourth UFC fighter to hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously, and the second to defend titles in two different weight divisions. He is the only person to win an Olympic gold medal and a UFC title. In 2020, Cejudo successfully defended his UFC bantamweight title by TKO over Dominick Cruz in the second round. He announced his retirement from professional fighting immediately after the fight, although there was widespread speculation that the retirement would be temporary.
A former fighter turned analyst and entertainer, Din Thomas is one of Dana White’s favorite MMA personalities. In the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Thomas is a UFC 41 Lightweight Tournament Semifinalist. He holds a Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ricardo Liborio and currently runs two successful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA academies in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Thomas holds notable victories of (UFC Lightweight Champion) Jens Pulver, (UFC Welterweight Champion) Matt Serra, and (Strikeforce Lightweight Champion) Clay Guida.
