Creed 2 has a new director, as Sylvester Stallone drops out of directing the movie...
Sylvester Stallone has opted to relinquish the director’s chair for the forthcoming Creed 2, having previously announced that he was planning to helm the picture. Stallone has penned the screenplay for the movie (along with Cheo Hodari Coker), and is expected to reprise the role of Rocky Balboa in it.
However, the new director for the film will be Steven Caple Jr. It’ll be his first big studio film, having previously made Sundance success The Land.
Michael B Jordan is reprising the role of Adonis Creed in the new movie, whilst it’s now been confirmed that Tessa Thompson will be returning as Bianca, too.
Stallone’s stepping away from directing was his own call, following conversations with Michael B Jordan and Warner Bros executives.
Filming is expected to start early next year.

[[tmz:video id="0_q4scyvms"]] There are two ways to read this quick video response from Michael B. Jordan that TMZ Sports shot outside Craig's in L.A. when we asked him about rumors Ufc's Sage Northcutt is up for the role of Ivan Drago's son in "Creed 2." "I don't even know who that is," Michael said. Maybe he doesn't. Sage isn't a household name (yet). Maybe Mbj was just trying to drive his ridiculously nice car into the L.

And should that mean the character has a son, one Mma fighter is angling for the part. Sage Northcutt has repeatedly put himself forward for the theoretical role as Drago’s son on social media, and recently said in an interview with MMAFighting.com that he recorded an audition tape. “The new ‘Creed 2’ movie is coming out so I was actually going to audition for that,” Northcutt said. “Got a little audition tape, so hopefully that goes through.

Sylvester Stallone is currently in development on Creed 2. He's set to reprise his role of Rocky Balboa and he's also going to direct the movie. We know the movie will see the return of Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago and the story will involve his son. I imagine that we'll see Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed step into the ring with him to fight.
Well, Mma fighter Sage Northcutt is hoping to play Ivan Drago's son in the movie. During an interview with MMAFighting.com, Northcutt said that he was going to audition for the film and even made an audition tape. He says:

Ufc
Just one week after putting on a free bantamweight title fight at Ufc Fight Night 81 that saw Dominick Cruz successfully reclaim the title he was stripped of years earlier, the Ufc is back with Ufc on Fox 18, featuring a light heavyweight title eliminator between former challenger Anthony Johnson, and the underrated Ryan Bader.
While there is no title fight on the Ufc on Fox 18 card, there are plenty of big match-ups to be found: the network TV debut of surging young star Sage Northcutt, who at 19 is the Ufc’s youngest active fighter, a heavyweight clash of titans with title fight implications, and the aforementioned light heavyweight title eliminator, the winner of which will face the victor of Jones vs. Cormier 2. In short, there’s a lot of action, once again, on a free card.

Cm Punk is no doubt used to his Ufc “career” being questioned by this point. A full one year has passed since the promotion signed him, yet despite plenty of talk from the promotion about Punk fighting in 2015, with multiple dates floated, his debut never took place – leading some fans to suggest that he would never fight in the octagon.
An injury to Punk during training didn’t help matters, and gave more fuel to the doubters, however the promotion has been steadfast that Cm Punk will fight.
Now, however, a current Ufc champion and former mutliple-weight class title contender have begun to question Punk’s appearance in the promotion. Or lack of appearance(s), more accurately. On the final Ufc Tonight of 2015, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, and former title challenger and Ultimate Fighter runner-up Kenny Florian addressed the Punk situation. And according to Cormier,...
