Jason Frank, the 36-year-old resident of Texas will move into the professional ranks next month with a fight in Houston against Jose Vasquez.
Frank admits that it was a decision he talked over with his coach and his manager, but in the end it just felt like the time was right.
"I didn't think a lot of stuff was going to happen so fast, but I got some fights under my belt, got the movie and all that stuff, and I don't know, just training a lot with my training partners and my coach Rocky Long, and stuff like that. I just think I decided to turn pro," Frank told MMAWeekly Radio recently.
Frank has also made it no secret that there is a promotion he hopes to one day call home.
"I'd love to get a Strikeforce deal. I want a Strikeforce deal. I keep talking about it all the time," said Frank. "I know my manager's talked to them briefly. It's just I want to build my record and do it the right way, and let me people know I can go more than one round."
While fighting for Strikeforce is what Frank ultimately wants, he's more than willing to earn his way there. The former television star admits that whether it takes six months or a year’s worth of fights, he's more than happy to earn a spot on the Strikeforce roster and doesn't need to be handed anything.
Jason Frank will make his professional debut on Aug. 4 at Puro Combate in Houston.
