Does anyone know of any other films, other than Never Back Down, where MMA is featured in film.
I thought Never Back Down was an OK film. What I liked was the Rocky-esque no-frills gym that Djimon Honsou's character ran in the film, exactly the sort of training facility I'd prefer to train in. I also liked that the movie was set in my home town, Orlando. The subplot with the romantic rivalry and everything was OK, but not really something I was overly interested in, but understood it as a catalyst to the fight.
I wasn't a fan of the fight competition at the night-club or whatever bit. I'd have liked that better if the fight had been at even a locally sanctioned MMA promotion as opposed to an 'underground fight club'. If you ask me that last bit is what gives MMA somewhat of an image problem.
Any other good MMA movies out there or coming soon?
