Mickey Rourke dons black lace shirt as he play fights with UFC pro Michael Bisping in LA
He famously gave up acting in the mid-1990s to become a professional boxer.
And while it's been several years since Mickey Rourke has been in the ring, that hasn't stopped him from still being a huge fan of the sport.
So it's little wonder that he was spotted out with British UFC Fighter Michael Bisping after dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Friday evening.

Despite the age gap, the 65-year-old even aimed a few punches at the fit 39-year-old as they left the restaurant for the benefit of the paparazzi.
The good-natured 39-year-old squared up, ready to rumble, but they ended up hugging it out.
The Sin City star is also famous for his eye-catching outfits and he didn't disappoint, donning a see-through, black lace shirt that showed off the tattoos on his still well-muscled chest.

Mickey wisely decided to return to acting after his brush with boxing, winning a Golden Globe for acting in 2009 with The Wrestler

And he is now busier than ever.
Mickey has six projects in the offing this year including three in pre-production, two in post and one, Tiger, completed.
Tiger follows a boxer who is banned for refusing to back down from his beliefs. As a consequence, his legacy will be forever tied to his two biggest battles: one in the courtroom, the other in the ring. It has yet to set a release date.
