Salman Khan's upcoming action film, Sultan, will mark the debut of UFC Fighter Tyron Woodley and there are reports that the fighter will fight against Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, the star in the film.

Woodley, who is popularly known as The Chosen One, is going to face Bollywood superstar Khan in Sultan and apparently the fighter is very excited over the film. The 33-year-old fighter has been sharing information on his role in the Khan starrer on his official Twitter handle, and has also uploaded few pictures from the film's production days. In one of his earlier tweets, the fighter praised Khan's popularity in India and even called him God.
