Joseph Hyungmin Son (Korean: 손형민; born November 20, 1970) is a convicted felony rapist, former American actor, and former UFC fighter. He competed for the Ultimate Fighting Championship and K-1 Kickboxing during his combat sports career. As an actor, he was best known for his appearance in the spy comedy film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). In martial arts, he is best known for his appearance at UFC 4, where he lost a match by submission after repeatedly being punched in the groin by Keith Hackney, a move which was legal at the time.
In 2008, he was arrested in connection to a 1990 sexual assault after DNA evidence linked him to the crime. In 2011, he was found guilty and sentenced to seven years to life in prison in California. While incarcerated, he was convicted of beating his cell mate to death and was sentenced to an additional 27 years for voluntary manslaughter.
