A city is devastated by a series of hurricanes. But they are not conventional tornadoes, as they are full of sharks! And who can help save the day? Former UFC champion Josh Barnett?!

That's right. You didn't read it wrong. This is the story of the third sequel to the new “darling” of cinema trash (marked by poorly produced features and special effects of dubious quality, sometimes even on purpose).
In the film, Barnett, who was UFC heavyweight champion in the organization's early days, plays Sergeant Richards, one of the army officers responsible for countering the wave of “sharknados”. The information, confirmed by NBC studios, responsible for the “SyFy” channel, was released by the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
The original “Sharknado” was released in 2013, as a television-only film released by the “SyFy” channel. The film quickly became a hit with the audience and had an impact on social media, especially thanks to its extremely absurd script and recurring appearances by celebrities and stars from other segments.
Without stepping into the Octagon since December 2013, Josh Barnett has a professional record of 33 wins and seven losses. The former champion returns to the octagon next September, when he faces Roy Nelson in the main fight of UFC Japan 2015.
