Looks like it was a BJJ contest.

The event was organised by Ultimate Martial Arts Championships.
And their spokesman could not speak highly enough of the world famous actor.

“Tom was a really nice guy,” the spokesman told The MK Citizen.
"Everyone recognised him but he was very humble and was happy to take time out for people to take photographs with him.

His opponent said: "I was waiting match-side for the semi-final when Tom showed up. I didn't know he was going to be there. And they expected me to remain composed," he laughs.

"I recognised him straightaway. Everyone knows who Tom Hardy is, don't they? I was shell-shocked. He said 'just forget it's me and do what you would normally do'.
"He's a really strong guy...You wouldn't think it with him being a celebrity.”

He's an actual martial artist in his spare time. You ever watch the movie 'Warrior'? That was no acting.

Dude is a beast.

The guy’s traps were insane in this movie. Must’ve shrugged like 300 kg to get those.

He was bigger here than when he played Bane. Absolute powerhouse.

Oh my, this man...
Lucky to have my husband's permission to leave him for Tom Hardy should there be the possibility.

 

[Jennings]

It's heartwarming to see a former crack addict achieve such successes in life. So very few of them ever get a second chance.

*Insert tired Bane joke*


(seriously though good for him holy shit)

 

[OmegaSupreme]

That would be an interesting fight. A prime Dolph versus Hardy. Dolph is trained in multiple disciplines not to mention a legit genius. The fucker.

 

[TVexperto]

wow logan marshal paul changed his name?

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I never understood why this whole scene is so memetic. I guess I'm just missing the joke.

 

[AJUMP23]

Tom Hardy......More like Tom Hardly good at martial arts.

John Cena doesn't have any real fight training that I'm aware of. Do you know who does though? This guy

 

[dr_octagon]

Nobody cared who I was until I put on the gi.

I was wondering what would break first, your spirit or your anteria cruciate ligament.

 

[Toons]

Put him in Mission Impossible #9 against Cruise lol

Down, girl! You thirsty!

DAT BEARD NEXT WOLVERINE?

Well, what can I say? Tom Hardy is my kryptonite.

But my husband may leave me for Olivia Wilde. Or the Chess Gambit chick. Fair is fair.

He actually has a doctorate in Thuganomics.

 

[Rest]

I wonder if they'll put him in Mortal Kombat.

It wouldn't be interesting at all. You should read about the spar session in ROCKY 4 where Sylvester Stallone literally almost died taking a full on punch to the chest - with gloves on. He's also like 6'5.

Great movie. Hardy is a legit monster in the final championship, absolutely terrifying.

Beast is a dude.

Poor Gaston will never know.
