* Kickboxer Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima is a dangerous opponent to face in a ring. In 2010, he won the "K-1 World MAX 2010 -70kg" tournament with three consecutive knockouts.

* Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling plays war games and {{MMORPG}}s. Originally, Schilling planned to start an MMORPG company after his retirement from baseball; he wound up starting Green Monster Games (now 38 Studios) before he retired. Once, when Schilling used to pitch for Arizona, he was rocked for two homers in the same game by former teammate Doug Glanville. After the game Doug dedicated that beating to the memory of Bing-bong, his ''{{Everquest}}'' character that Schilling had left to die. Schilling has such a good relationship with ''Sony Online Entertainment'' that he asked them to add his likeness into ''{{EverQuest}} 2'' for a charity event. The developers agreed, and put his voice, face, and likeness into the game, complete with his jersey's number painted on his red armor. This very character would later become a permanent part of the game under the name of "[[SignificantAnagram Clint Gilcrush]]". He also founded the company Multi-Man Publishing '''specifically''' to keep his wargame of choice, ''Advanced Squad Leader'', in print following Hasbro's purchase of Avalon Hill. The man is '''''dedicated'''''.

* Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling plays war games and {{MMORPG}}s. Originally, Schilling planned to start an MMORPG company after his retirement from baseball; he wound up starting Green Monster Games (now 38 Studios) before he retired. Once, when Schilling used to pitch for Arizona, he was rocked for two homers in the same game by former teammate Doug Glanville. After the game Doug dedicated that beating to the memory of Bing-bong, his ''{{Everquest}}'' character that Schilling had left to die. Schilling has such a good relationship with ''Sony Online Entertainment'' that he asked them to add his likeness into ''{{EverQuest}} 2'' for a charity event. The developers agreed, and put his voice, face, and likeness into the game, complete with his jersey's number painted on his red armor. This very character would later become a permanent part of the game under the name of "[[SignificantAnagram Clint Gilcrush]]". He also founded the company Multi-Man Publishing '''specifically''' to keep his wargame of choice, ''Advanced Squad Leader'', in print following Hasbro's purchase of Avalon Hill. The man is '''''dedicated'''''.
* 1996 #1 NFL draft pick and former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Marcus Jones, currently a mixed martial artist on season 10 of ''TheUltimateFighter'', is by his own admission "passionate" about ''DungeonsAndDragons'' and comic books. He also likes to garden, but that doesn't count.
* Former Australian cricket captain and now commentator Bill Lawry got the nickname "ComicStrip/ThePhantom" because he was a huge fan of the character, and kept a stash of Phantom comics in the team locker room.
* Josh Barnett, heavyweight MMA fighter, had [[FistOfTheNorthStar Ai wo Torimodose]] as his entrance theme while he was working in PRIDE. He also made a statement after the match more along the lines of "My Hokuto Shinken will never be as good as Kenshiro's so I have to keep working on my Nanto Seiken."
* Lightweight Mixed Martial Artist Joe Lauzon has a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and used to be a Network Administrator. Also a fanatical ''CallOfDuty'' player.
* Chicago Bears Linebaker Lance Briggs is a huge fan of comic books, especially of ''TheDarkness'', ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'', ''Pitt'', and ''SilverSurfer''. A big enough fan that comic books are more or less all he talks about, though he tries to be discreet about his hobby. When asked which super hero he would be he just sighed, rolled his eyes and said: "Well, I wouldn't wear tights. I would have leadership qualities. I would love to be a mind reader. That would be my power. But no tights. A snug fit, but no tights. What color costume? You want to hear me say orange and blue. No, something dark. I would be strong, dark, macho. A medium build. I would wear a loose jacket, a contemporary costume. I am not a tights guy, man. You get caught in tights, and you cannot get out." The sign of a true comic book geek.
* Anaheim Ducks enforcer George Parros played college hockey at Princeton where he majored in economics and wrote his senior thesis on, get this, the West Coast longshoremen's labor dispute. He also played fantasy hockey and was really into video games (especially ''FinalFantasy'' and ''StreetFighter'') while in college, really likes 80's hair metal, and watches a lot of ''FamilyGuy''. Basically, he's the opposite of what one would think an enforcer would be.
* Shaquille O'Neal is a big {{Superman}} fan and has a tattoo of Superman's symbol. Presumably, this influenced his decision to do the ''Film/{{Steel}}'' movie.

* New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia is a serious video game enthusiast. Recently, he warned against the dangers of haphazardly chucking small explosives in a PSA for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Qpui1hYBw one of his favorites.]]

* A growing number of the Arsenal squad, most notably Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri and Jack Wilshere, are very keen gamers, especially of the FIFA series. Walcott even joked about what button Fabregas had pressed to pass to him to set him up to score against Chelsea during a live interview on Sky Sports.
* Arizona Cardinals/Kansas City Cheifs Wide Receiver Steve Breaston is a huge fan of comic books, he was even able to have a [[http://www.azcardinals.com/news-and-events/article-2/Breaston-Visit-Spawns-Opportunity/0a1c0d75-5e6c-447a-927c-3b3702668e81 meeting]] with [[{{Spawn}} Todd McFarlane]] who lives in Arizona.
