Just watched on NETFLIX,

One of the really good MMA documentaries.

This documentary captured the deeper sides of all the fighters and their struggles, physically and mentally.

interesting to see Ronda saying, "Women's MMA is so popular now that it can thrive without her... so she can focus on Hollywood," and this was right before the Holm loss shows where her head was already at.

and Jon Jones such a scumbag talking about how he's aware of the eye pokes and still does it because it works.

I feel bad for Rashad. And hate Jones even more with Jackson too. Sad to hear about McMahn's tragedy, Guymon's situation, and Gary Goodridge.

WAR RASHAD~!!!!

I watched that last weekend while flying. I agree with @Tang that it was well done, and that Jon Jones was infuriating when he said something to the effect of "the eye pokes and linear kicks to the knees are dirty, but they work" and then flashed a sly smile.

It was neat seeing the crew from Revolution MMA during the segment on Sara.

I didn't really like it. The production was good but as a whole the movie seemed unfocused and not sure about the story it was trying to present. It was kind of like watching a bunch of interviews all strung together. Without any underlying theme (other than the obvious that they're all fighters) to tie all the interviewees together it seemed jumbled.

I am not a Jon Jones fan whatsoever but it also seemed like they just threw in the car crash thing because it came out in the media while they were in post production. Up until that point they hadn't really made a stance on Jones one way or the other. I think that with a proper narrative his story could have been the thread that kept the movie together. They could have showed Jon starting fighting, his Bentley hitting the pole with the not his wife women in the car, his drug problems, him trying to get better and then at the end him showing that he truly is a douche. Pepper in all the other interviews of peoples hardships and problems but them trying and mostly succeding in overcoming them and it would show that the fighters are just regular people with irregular jobs.
