The Ultimate Fighting Championship athlete was rumoured to be taking on the role of Sgt Bosco 'BA' Baracus for the '80s TV show's cinematic update.
The character was formerly played by Mr. T on the NBC series about members of a commando unit who are on the run for a crime they didn't commit.
However, a publicist for the 31-year-old told MTV that "his manager said it wasn't true".
Other stars who have been linked to the part include hip-hop performer The Game and Tyrese Gibson, while rapper Ice Cube had previously expressed an interest in playing the role.
