Smashing Machine, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

This movie is based on a true story that took

place between the years of 1997 and 2000.

Hi, I'm Mark Kerr, and I'm representing

American Freestyle Wrestling, and I'm here

at the World Valley 2-3 to prove that it's

the best fighting style.

And that is wrestler Mark Kerr.

6'1", 260 pounds from Toledo, Ohio.

And again, his specialty

is freestyle wrestling,

and this is his first

professional fight.

This guy, we expect a lot out

of this guy, cause his quarter

of the strongest Americans

to ever step into this ring.

That would be Dan Severin, Don Fry,

and Mark Coleman.

He told us earlier today that this guy is

the best he has ever seen.

And as he enters the ring for the first

time in his professional career,

we will see how he holds up to some of the

toughest competitions.

And now coming in is the biggest here,

Paul Farlin.

6'8", 330 pounds from San Jose,

California.

And he's had 8 years of

wrestling experience too,

but he's definitely

more skilled on his feet.

And there is Sergio

Barterrelli getting the

fighters ready as we

await the opening battle.

And this fight is underway.

And Curry's going at him, he

is unable to stop the fight.

Barterrelli had to step in, bold.

Look at that, some serious cuts there.

The second that bell rings, you can just

look at some people and you can just tell

that they're scared to death.

I mean, you can see it in their eyes.

You can even smell it in their sweat.

Wow.

But you know, it isn't until the first

time I can put my hands on you and really

assert myself and the other

person that you can really feel

almost instantly if the person

is going to give in or not.

What happens next?

It's simple.

Am I going to hurt him before he hurts me?

And he happens to hurt me that I'm going

to hurt him two times as bad.

Because let me tell you

something, when you get

punched in the face, you

can have two reactions.

You can either cower away or you can want

to punish them or some for punching them.

But I developed a third way.

You know, if I get

kicked or if I get punched,

I'm going to something

different than punish you.

I'm going to physically impose my will on

you.

And you really feel when that

happens, when the person just

lets go and he told you what

there's going to be in your arms.

And that's a pretty powerful thing.

He's crazy because in the beginning,

I was just kind of having fun.

I was operating on this animal instinct

that just took over.

I'm going to try and explain it and maybe

this way, but it's kind of strange,

you know?

The whole thing felt very evolutionary.

When I wrestled in college, this is

something totally different.

Well, what do you mean?

Like the moment I felt that rush,

that first hit, I realized I was going to

be close to something that's almost

magical.

Wow.

You get to the point where you have to ask

yourself, like, would you stick your

finger in your palm's

cup, spread it out a little bit

more, just to win for making

you feel pain, would you?

I mean, I guess I would.

Of course, you move it in.

You know why?

Because winning is the best feeling there

is.

And keep in mind, this was a tournament

down in Brazil.

So if you won, you didn't go home.

No, you went on and you fought the next

guy, and then the next guy right after

that, and then the next guy, and then the

next guy.

So by the end, you felt like a god.

It's amazing.

It's incredible.

I mean,

nothing else in this world matters.

And it kind of might be the best feeling

in the world, you know?

Yeah.

And it's a feeling I didn't even know was

possible.

And f*ck man, I'm not giving chills much

faith.

I'm just telling you about this.

He has experienced the Octagon.

You know, he's tough.

Super tough.

What is it that you think you're going to

bring to the stage?

Well, I think that I feel really good

about my cardiovascular level.

I feel great about my power, which I've

improved on.

But you know what?

It's like the difference between a

flashlight and a laser beam.

Wow.

That's awesome.

What do you mean by that?

You have to make sure that I'm 100%

concentrated on what I have to do.

Because if not, then my emotions will be

running around everywhere like a flashlight.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I mean, think about it.

It applies to you and everybody else in

this world.

If we don't control

our emotions, our fears

and our anxieties,

we'll get the best of us.

You know what happens?

We get slapped around with emotions and we

can't have them.

That's right.

Hey, Kurt.

Get your a*s out.

Thank you so much for your... Yeah,

thank you very much.

I appreciate you.

Great.

My man.

I see a heck of a difference in the shape

of the rain, all right?

It's a game.

It's a game.

First time in the Octagon.

I'm still in the same vein.

Yeah, guys, come on.

There's only been 14 of these five years.

Excuse me, Bowman?

Yeah, Mark VanderKammer.

Can I ask about your plans to take on

Bowman?

Oh, Bowman.

Um, Kurt?

Yeah.

Get him down early.

How's that happen?

And she up to the UFC.

They were kind of like the first in combat

sports.

Is that boxing?

Well, there's a little boxing in it.

Yeah, it's more like martial arts that

have been around for thousands of years

and we bring them all together to see

which one is the best.

So, I come from a wrestling background,

but I might fight a guy who comes from a

karate background or a guy who comes from

a boxing background.

Yeah, I have heard about this.

That's the bloody thing they're trying to

ban.

Yes, that's right.

That's right.

It is.

But I've got to tell you, the popularity

of the sport comes from the stereotype

that you're going to see the bloodiest and

the goryest sport you've ever seen.

I can't do that.

It bothers me.

It should bother a lot of people.

Do you hate each other when you fight?

Absolutely not.

No.

Sorry to interrupt Dr. Cortez's email.

Thank you so much.

It was great to talk to you.

Thank you.

It was great to talk with you,

too.

Yes.

What's up, little man?

I'm sorry.

He's kind of shy, but I think he wants

your honor back.

Sure, no problem.

What's your name?

His name is Convo.

But could you make it out to his brother

Murray, too?

No fighting.

Hey, Murray.

Hey, Raja.

How's it going?

How are you, man?

All right.

You must be a little jealous.

Yeah, I just flew in this morning.

Where'd you come from again?

Japan.

So UFC's now in Japan?

No, it's kind of like an NBA, ABA

situation.

Two different leagues.

This one's called Pride.

Why don't you take off your shirt?

Let me take a look.

Okay, so we're doing the usual.

We're sending your scripts over to

Safeway.

You know what?

I'm thinking this month.

I'm going to switch over to A to Z.

They handle my insurance much better.

Let's do that.

Okay.

Sure, yeah.

That's no problem.

I can switch the insurance over again.

You know what?

Let's not even deal with the insurance.

They are over at Safeway.

They're just such a pain in the butt.

Plus, it's easier for you.

I'll just pay out of pocket.

Are you sure?

Something's better.

Not a problem.

I don't get punched in the face with

nothing.

I'll pay out of pocket.

Not a problem.

Do you want me to throw this out?

Are you going to have this?

Use the skim milk, right?

Yeah.

I switched the whole milk last week.

Why didn't you tell me?

No, you've got to tell me these things.

I'm going to get it wrong if you don't

tell me.

How much banana did you put in?

Half a banana.

Half?

You changed that too.

What is it now?

It's actually one and a half.

I said not on the couch.

How many times do I see her?

She's destroying the couch.

This is expensive.

All right, come on.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

You destroyed enough.

I don't know.

Oh, she sounds like a momma.

Come on, let her back up.

She can sit on me.

It

Was really nice of me to make my smoothie.

I mean it, thank you.

Shut your mouth.

No, I mean it, thank you.

Even though it was made with the wrong

milk, you didn't know the thing.

How does that feel?

It feels great.

Do you want some more?

Should you ask like that?

Yes, you can stretch me more.

Too much?

Never.

Too much?

No.

Too much?

No.

No.

Excuse

me.

I'd love to see the sunset.

Sure.

This...

was nothing at all.

But what I do...

I do.

The contract says... The

past contract says 3,300.

Remaining.

Remaining, yes, remaining.

So, 3,300 still remaining come to me.

So, one month, no contract, no money,

no more, this is it?

Yes, no contracts anymore.

No money.

That's it.

Am I speaking too fast?

No, of course.

I'm not speaking too fast.

Maybe my English is too fast.

I'm going to need more money.

But we have to discuss about this.

We have to discuss, yes?

No, no, not you.

I'm talking to my headquarters.

Not you.

You're going to speak to your

headquarters.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's okay.

I understand that.

But before I fight again, we should clear

this up.

We should have an understanding.

We should have an agreement, yes.

Before I fight again.

Yes.

Okay.

Just wait.

It's fair.

It's okay.

I got it.

I got the hope, yes.

So, how do you know Marker?

Marker and I go way back.

You know, we wrestled each other back in

You know, and so way back then I knew who

Marker was.

You know, we competed against each other,

but he's a buddy of mine.

Oh, so who started professional first?

I guess I did because I was a couple years

ahead of him.

Kind of got into that fighting game prior

to him.

He got in.

I was trying to help him now.

I was actually his first kind of trainer

and manager.

Oh.

Yeah.

It was fun times, but you know,

now we train together.

And he's coming to his own.

I mean, look what he's been doing.

I'm super proud of him.

And yeah, I couldn't be more proud.

Yeah.

Which one would you like to see?

The ball, please, with the gold.

The lawn?

Yes.

It is so artistic and very expensive.

It's beautiful.

Ok-k-sama, omega-takai?

Sorry, I don't understand.

I don't speak Japanese.

What did you say?

You have a good eye.

Ah, thank you.

I'll take you.

I'll take you.

You know what?

I'll take this too, please.

You're my girlfriend.

She loves colors.

I'll take you.

I'll take you.

You're right.

What do you think about your opponent?

He's a very famous fighter for having a

hard punch.

He has a hard punch?

It's probably going to be my toughest

fight.

Because of his experience.

But I have to fight a clean fight.

I have to fight a very technical fight if

I'm going to be victorious.

But we are human.

Sometimes we lose.

What do you think that would feel like?

Can you imagine that?

You know, I try not to let thoughts like

that answer my mind.

But if they do, I really wouldn't know

what to do with them.

Because I don't know what that's like.

I've never lost a fight.

Sorry, but that's the truth.

But can I ask you one more time?

I'm going to ask you another challenge.

Hypothetically speaking, if I lost...

I don't know.

I don't even respond to that.

Because I've never lost.

Thank you.

I mean, I'm trying to intellectualize it

with you.

But I just...

I can't.

We apologize if we get to waiting.

We'd like to start with the following

world changes.

The following options are now deemed to be

ill*gal.

Number one, biting.

Number two, I'm biting.

Number three, I'm biting.

Number three, I'm biting.

Number three, I'm biting.

And now,

in this position, me and Keith are both.

I'm sorry.

I would just like to make sure that we

understood correctly.

If the opponent is in a position

while his face is upward,

is it allowed for the person

standing to kick in the face?

Yes, that is okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just be patient out there.

Have fun.

You need to keep boxing that.

Be patient, find your time, get them down,

do your thing.

You're going to have fun, I think.

So, come on.

Say it on.

I'm going to grab this one.

All right, buddy, I'm thinking like five

to ten, all right?

Yeah.

Hi.

Are you okay?

Why are you being so weird?

Your eyes look weird.

Come here.

Come here.

Okay.

You made me feel so f*cking stupid coming

in here.

It's like you guys were talking sh*t or

something.

I f*cking flew halfway across the globe.

You asked me to come.

I said thank you.

Oh, yeah?

And then you asked like a f*cking d*ck in

front of your friend.

Don't call me next time.

Please don't come.

I'm lonely.

f*ck you.

I'm trying to focus.

It has nothing to do with you.

Can you say hello to me?

You don't even have time to say hello to

me.

I just don't want to fight.

Not now.

Please.

Can you hear if I punch you in the face?

Yes.

Punch me in the f*cking face.

Could we communicate?

Punch me in the f*cking face.

Punch me in the f*cking face.

The biggest lie in my life.

Punch me in the f*cking face.

Come in.

I'm so sorry.

May I ride you below downstairs?

Things have come with me.

Thank you.

You're out of f*cking control.

I'm sorry.

This is a short clash of two giants and a

sport blast.

And I am really the only one expecting.

Of course, the only one expecting.

I'm gonna go for Missy, okay?

I would say two, but...

But Janssen being a face...

I'm talking about the current man,

Corinne.

Yeah, I don't know if that will get

us any... But I'll tell you one thing.

I'm gonna win.

Okay, I think I'm okay.

Some bumps and bruises.

You're not injured.

You'll heal up and leave the two tops.

Okay?

Yeah, that's right.

I'll heal up the week or two tops.

I need my hands out broken, my feet are

fine.

You don't wear this one tough m*therf*cker

though, huh?

I'll give him that.

Yeah.

All right guys, I'm gonna run outside.

I'll be back here.

Yeah.

Hey, Colman, can I just talk to you?

Yeah.

I just wanna know if he's gonna be okay.

I've never seen him like this

before, so... He should be fine.

Okay.

And he seemed okay, right?

Yeah, I mean, I just...

I don't know, I like knew it.

Before he stepped in the ring

and he just... What do you mean?

Well, he just wasn't serious, I think,

and...

about the fight, like

the past two weeks have

been out drinking and

stuff and praying and...

You never brought that daughter?

To you.

To me, yeah.

Why?

He doesn't need to be drinking two weeks

before...

I'm not his trainer, and I'm not a

fighter, and he seemed fine about it.

He seemed fine.

And I don't know if he ever thought this

was possible, that he would lose,

and I didn't think it was possible.

All right, I get it.

Just be there for him, okay?

We have decided to call this fight with

the whole no-contest.

No-contest?

We're very happy to have you back here

Friday, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What did they say?

They decided to call it a no-contest.

That's awesome.

That's awesome.

Why are you so, so sad?

I'm not sad.

It's just, I don't do that for a

no-contest.

I want the decision.

You know, I mean, it's just, I'm out

there, I'm sacrificing everything,

literally, you know.

I see.

I'm sacrificing everything out there from

the reward of the end.

Right.

It's the high from that thing that I do,

the thing that I just did out there.

It's a high that, there's no other high

like it in the world.

I can only imagine, I can see it, I can see

it in you when you're doing it, you know.

It's 40,000 people when they're cheering

you on.

I mean, that's orgasmic.

Yeah, I know.

No, I'm not kidding.

I'm not kidding.

It's like, I'm talking about the highest

of highs.

And two men out there

competing against each

other, and it's only

us, and it's so raw.

But you've got to have the competition,

and you have that feeling, you fought,

you had the feeling, but you don't seem

happy about it.

I'm trying to explain it to you,

but you just keep talking.

You just keep talking over me.

No, I'm trying to understand what you're

saying, and I'm trying to support you.

But only because I'm trying to tell you

exactly what happened.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, brother.

How are you?

Oh, you okay?

Sorry.

Definitely.

Let me see.

Nice.

How many stitches?

Four.

Four stitches?

Four.

How else?

The body feel okay?

A little bit of the knee.

A little bit of the knee.

You know why?

A lot of my head.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, it's okay.

It's totally okay.

Tell them it's natural, natural reaction.

My head was down there.

My face is down there.

Let's all get a picture.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it together.

Let's do it again.

Let's all get in.

Take this picture for me.

Thank you.

Look at you.

Do the best one.

Do the best one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Great fight.

This is cold.

Cold in heat?

This is heat.

Heat, okay.

Three?

Three?

No, just one.

Really, just one?

Just one.

Do you have any stronger pain medication?

Pain medication?

Honey, I don't think they do that.

Do they have these?

They've got everything.

Like narcotics, opiates?

No, no, no, no.

Why not?

You must... certification.

Certification?

Yes, yes.

Permission?

Let's just come.

It's okay.

Just take what they have.

We have a permission.

You give permission for me?

Thank you.

No, no, it's too late.

Yes.

No, no.

What do you have for me?

It's strong.

I have a...

Advil.

Advil?

Advil?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dawn, would you like handing them out for

candy?

Thank you.

Hey, Joan.

Hey, it's Mark.

Yeah, I'm great.

How are you doing?

Great.

I'm calling because I

know Dr. Rob was going

to write that prescription

for Voltaren for me.

Yeah, but Voltaren, as a pill,

it's a little hard on my tummy.

Yeah, and I know that you

guys can give me the injection,

but you don't want to

see me in there every day.

So what I was hoping

is if Dr. Rob can write a

prescription, that's a

little better than Voltaren.

That's a little stronger too as well.

Oh, great.

Yeah, that would be great.

So whenever he gets back in the office,

just have him give me a call.

I'll be here.

I'm feeling really good.

I appreciate it.

You know, like a day without pain is like

a day without sunshine.

Yeah.

I'm not going to get any better this week.

Yeah.

I know.

I can't keep coming out and finding you

like this, Mark.

It's just...

What do you mean?

You keep telling me you're going to quit

and then come out.

Maybe I just need to, you know, just

have to get through this, this moment.

Yeah, fine.

What do you want from me?

Do you want me just to pretend that

everything's fine?

Oh, what do you mean?

You don't look like this.

I don't look like this.

I just want you to feel like, oh,

that's all.

What do you mean?

You look like what?

You keep telling me we're going to quit

and then come out.

We aren't going to take a hike.

We're going to go today.

You don't even hide it from me anymore.

You keep coming into the bathroom and

seeing your sh*t everywhere.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's just getting bad.

It's getting crazy.

No, it's insane.

And you need to get serious.

I am serious.

What do you mean?

Because I don't even know what this person

is trying to say.

I'm serious.

I'm going through this.

What are you, going

through the house looking

to find stuff just to

get me in trouble?

No.

Somebody stop treating like a f*cking

child.

How about that?

Stop acting like one I wouldn't have to.

Like you, you lost a fight.

Big deal.

Just get over it.

You want to fight?

Don't drink that special cup.

You ready?

Looks like the morning.

Okay, okay, okay.

The winner is Daddy.

Fought a tough opponent.

My toughest jet.

Feels good to be in the wind column again.

And after this painting, I'm going to give

my girl a new playhouse.

And a bike.

And hold on.

Here, walk me through everything from the

beginning.

I think I did too much and then I couldn't

wake him up.

I found him on the ground.

And then I was like shaking him.

Is he alive?

He's alive, but I didn't know he knew at

first.

Oh, f*cking God, okay.

I know.

Calm down, calm down.

Okay, I need you to come and help me,

okay?

I'm going to get on the first flight out,

alright?

I'm going to help you.

I will be there as soon as I can.

First flight.

What's he doing?

He's not okay.

He's awake though.

Yeah.

Careful.

What's going on, man?

That's what he is.

What's up, man?

He's like for sore eyes.

Jesus Christ.

What do I mean?

He's looking a little rough.

You're not going to lie?

Oh, man.

You should see the soap in this place,

man.

It's like f*cking glue.

I don't even kind of see it.

I know, man.

It's just doing a number on my hair,

you know?

Yeah.

Man, you look good, man.

Thank you.

So, man, is this sick or something?

Yeah, I got sick.

I got sick and it was pretty unbelievable.

It was pretty bad.

That's the right word.

It was bad.

So what happened?

Can you give me the whole story?

I was on the floor and I couldn't wake up.

And then Dawn came in and she was trying

to wake me up.

Again?

That's weird.

It's fine.

Keep going, though.

Yeah, yeah.

No, I don't ever... I know that.

I know that.

So then Dawn called 911 and then the

paramedics came in.

And then they couldn't wake me up either.

And then they put me in the ambulance.

And then they were...

I was kind of like in this weird altered

state.

Like I was aware of where I was and I

could kind of see things.

A little blurry, but I could hear

everything.

So my acuity was pretty good.

They were asking me questions.

I got a few of the questions wrong a

little bit.

Like, who was the president?

They said, who's the president?

What'd you say?

Ronald Reagan.

You f*cking believe that?

I mean, sh*t, let's say that anyway.

I would say that even on a good day I was

home.

I'm like, you guys can't ask.

That's when I realized, like, it's kind of

unfair, you know, the way they were.

Hey.

Yeah.

Listen.

Just stop, all right?

Please.

Hey, you're good.

Look, I didn't come out here because I

love a famous dude, all right?

Look, I came out here because I want to

see you get better.

You can't keep doing this to yourself.

I'm so sorry.

It's me.

You don't have to apologize, okay?

I'm one of your best friends in the world,

right?

And I'm here because I love you,

okay?

Come here.

Come here.

I f*cking love you, man.

What's up?

I don't want to die.

Hey, look at me.

You're not going to die, all right?

Look at me.

I can't.

We're all in this together, all right?

There's tons of people that love you.

It's got to start with you, okay?

And you got this, all right?

All right, I know, I know.

I know.

Look at me.

You know I can't.

I'm so no more alone.

If you can't come around,

at least don't ever.

Don't be cruel

to a heart that's true.

It's something that I might have said.

Thank you for having me today.

I have a little bit strange question for

you.

Okay.

Are you okay to fight without your friend?

Mark Gurr?

Yes, Mark Gurr.

Yeah, I've been worried about him for

quite a while now.

You know, just as a friend.

I know your feelings.

But I think that loss to Igor,

or whatever you want to call it,

the no contest, I think that was the best

thing that could have happened to him.

I feel like he's going to come back a

better version of himself.

You know, and I know he wants to be here.

He loves you guys.

And he's distraught.

He can't make it.

So what make you keep him motivated?

I mean, a lot of people tell me I should

retire, you know, and give it up.

But I got a family, you know.

And there's a lot worse ways to make

living, you know.

So I'm looking forward to Sunday.

I think it's going to be a good one.

So not only is Mark Coleman here without

the support of his friend Mark Gurr,

who had to drop out of his

own fight here due to health

reasons, but he is also on

an uphill battle against time.

After his recent losses, you have to ask

yourself, is this the end of the road for

Mark Coleman, or will he extend his career

to just one more time?

In

This place and my set...

There's no way I can get out of here.

There's no way.

On the inside, you don't feel.

..

It doesn't move on the inside?

It moves, but it's moving so fast that you

can't even feel it.

I really don't want to go on the ride with

her, but the center part there,

that's the thing that stays still,

right?

Can I stand in there, in the middle part?

In the center part?

Yes.

Sometimes I'd be a serious liability

issue.

Where would you recommend I stand?

You don't want to get sick on the ride?

I would suggest you don't go on the ride,

because you can't handle it.

Well, that's not

the way it works.

Right now it steals water and it ruins the

integrity from the larger arms.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was such a

big deal.

It's just a plant.

It's not just a plant, it's just a world

of cactus.

It's hard to grow like that.

Can I have that knife?

You make a really great father,

you know that?

It's very nice of you to say it.

And I mean it,

but... That's true.

Well, thank you.

I'm just not ready.

I don't know why you keep bringing that

up.

It's like you keep forcing it.

I'm not forcing it, I was

just saying you have

great qualities and you

make great dad, that's all.

Why'd you bring it up?

To be nice.

Well, it's not nice, because you keep

making me say no.

You already know how I feel about that.

Look, I love kids.

But I'm always gone.

My mind is preoccupied with everything

else that's going on.

You keep bringing this up about having

kids.

I don't know what you want me to do.

I look around and I'm already doing

everything already.

That's not true.

It is true.

I'm already doing everything around here.

Understand?

Just don't have the mental space.

Have a kid and I'm sorry.

I don't like telling you that.

I was just trying to be nice.

I know.

Okay?

I know.

And it's very nice.

And I appreciate it.

It's just not the right time.

Really, dog?

Look at all the leaves.

Are you kidding me, Mark?

That was this morning.

I know, but... I'll do it.

So, how is it been?

It's been really f*cking annoying to be

honest with you.

It's just... he's on this whole high horse

take and I thought I could handle it.

And I don't know if I can, because being

on a completely different f*cking horse

now... is all they

can talk about, so...

When he was using, he

was like tender and sweet and

he relied upon me and

now it's like... He's distant.

It's hard.

It's hard to know and he's like shitty and

picking on me and...

Well... I think I missed taking care of

it, you know?

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Oh, right for you?

Oh my God.

Your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

Yes, yes.

It works.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Jacqueline.

Happy birthday to you.

Go

Back to their place.

The place was the worst.

I feel like I can

guarantee I won't get a headache anymore.

No, I'm just out of rehab.

Please, really?

It's like I didn't do it in front of you.

No, but you're just not being nice to me

right now.

You're not being very nice to me.

What does that even mean?

I didn't do anything.

You didn't judge me and you just got your

sh*t together 21 days.

It doesn't make you any better than me.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it in that way.

Mark, it's just because you've got a

problem with something doesn't mean that

everyone in the world has the same problem

that you do, okay?

So just give me a break.

You wouldn't understand.

Who are you calling?

Hey, Jeff, it's Mark.

Oh, it's just Mark, sir.

Okay, you know what?

You're not funny anymore.

You're not funny anymore.

You're just f*cking down and pale.

Hold on, hold on one second.

What are you doing?

There's a lot of difficult time in my

mind.

Please, please, I need you to understand.

I do understand.

I do understand.

But then you go and call Jeff and then you

just shut me out and it really hurts my

feelings and I'm here to talk to you,

okay?

You just gotta let me in.

You don't need Jeff.

This is what I'm talking about.

You did this up and down.

I don't know who I'm talking to.

How the f*ck can you say?

Your behavior is just so unhealthy for me

right now.

Please, Todd.

You know what?

f*ck you, Mark.

Just go f*ck yourself.

Jeff, can you hear what I'm dealing with

now?

I'm so uncomfortable with my own health.

I don't know if you had a chance to hear

what she was saying when she was screaming.

Yeah.

The reason it is is that you're f*cking

jealous that I can still go out and get

drinks with my friends and it's completely

fine.

And you wish you could do that.

Well, stop trying to pretend that I'm the

one with the f*cking problem.

Hope you and Jeff are real f*cking happy

together.

You're gone?

Gone?

Today, we are happy to

have our greatest fighters

in one room together

for this first conference.

Please give a round of applause for them.

We will be holding a tournament over two

events leading to a championship fight

that will result in the number one fighter

in all of the world.

And also we regret that we disappointed

Japan last time with the cancellation of

the main card of anything in U.S.

budget marked card.

We have received much word that this will

not happen again.

And he has asked for some time to address

his Japanese friends regarding his

inclusion in this special tournament.

Hello, and thank you to everyone for

allowing me to be here today.

I'd like to apologize first and foremost

to the pride organization and staff.

You have been extremely

understanding to me during

my time of dealing with

my personal struggles.

And finally to the Japanese people,

the Japanese fans, I know that you've been

questioning whether I am the fighter that

you thought that I was.

And one of my biggest regrets in life is

the answer to that question.

I wasn't.

And I'm ashamed about that.

But I promise you that I'm going to work

even harder to make this up to you.

Thank you.

Adagato.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Barbito!

Barbito!

Man, good to see you.

I guess we've got some work to do.

I'm just kidding with you.

Take a look at this.

Oof.

I haven't been taken away with,

so I... I took everything away.

I mean, Coleman's been working on striking

and his kicking.

The motors told him that they don't want

to see any more grappling and wrestling.

What does she knock out?

She said they want to see people get

knocked out.

Well, look how he beat Bugano.

Knocked him out.

Right?

I mean, an answer actually is going to do

exactly the same thing to you.

He's going to come for you and he wants to

knock you out.

You're just going to move backwards,

wait for the right moment, sh**t him,

take his a*s down, and then you just hit

him in the face like this.

So no striking?

No.

No striking.

Well, you need to know striking in order

to get him to the ground.

But, come on, man, you know it's can't go

on, right?

Five friends by knockout, five friends by

submission, and then last year,

on my freaking birthday, who won the Abu

Dhabi combat football championship?

You did.

He's not going to take you down.

He saw you beat four amazing grapplers.

Nobody can even close to submitting him.

So trust me, this guy is not going to take

you to the ground.

Ready?

I think so.

You think so?

Come on, Mark, he has no answer.

I think so.

Come on, are you ready?

Yes.

Ah, don't you look at the side of this,

you're on my window!

He's back!

Actually, the left way can't say,

it's still a little bit more than yours.

So, keep rest.

Okay, here we go, two.

Good, again.

Four.

Good.

Up, cut straight.

Nice.

Very good.

Good.

Now switch.

There we go.

You see, stop playing with that.

I feel it.

Good.

That's how you should feel.

Okay, okay, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark,

Mark, Mark.

You're looking where you're going to hit.

Right?

I'm going to hit you in the head?

You're going to defend it.

Now, so what I do, I hit the body and hit

him hard, because he needs to defend it.

He needs to respect him.

To the body.

To the body.

Same order.

To the head.

But you see, you don't look at the head.

So, you hit the head.

Then you go...

That's okay.

He's having a heart attack.

He's going to call 911 right now.

That's my freakin' cousin there.

Did you hear him?

No, it's messed up my career.

No, it's freakin' just going to go on for

an hour and a half.

I know there's a million, many times.

Isn't this our best one?

Yeah.

I'm not using it.

I swear to God.

This is over.

I don't give a sh*t doing anything.

I don't give a sh*t.

Five seconds, all your pain has come your

way.

Just breathe.

Oh, dude.

Oh, dude, I feel like a plant.

What are you fighting about, dude?

Just get used to it.

Now

I know why you're always sweating.

You're always sweating.

Ooh, this is weird.

Just breathe.

If it's not.

And now, it is here.

So I face this final curtain.

My friend, I'll say it clear.

I'll stay like him.

And I'm rich and certain.

I live like a school.

I travel deep and I read my way.

Oh, much more than this.

I did it my way.

I had a few.

But I've got too few to imagine.

I did what I had to do.

I saw it through without intention.

Each charted course each can stand on the

ground.

One

class I'm really excited about is the

clash between Mark Kerr and Ensign Inouye.

Wrestling vs.

Jiu-Jitsu.

That's going to be a great one,

boss.

It's going to be a super exciting fight.

And I'll tell you why, because last time

Mark Kerr wasn't in the best shape.

This time, though, he came back to me and

you know as well as I do.

Once you acquired a skill set of mixed

martial arts, I think that endurance is

the most important aspect of mixed martial

arts.

So he can go to the next one.

Let's hope so.

One thing everybody's been

talking about is the potential

collision between the two

Americans in this tournament.

Boss, have you spoken to

either Kerr or Coleman of fighting

such a good friend for a

life-changing amount of money?

That's a super intense question,

Steven.

I know, I have not.

But I can only imagine they're deep in

each other's heads right now.

Coleman, did you hear this?

What page?

Seven.

I got you mid-breath.

Yeah, I look exhausted.

All right, go to five.

It was a great one to make cake.

Oh, wanna have some fun?

What do you mean?

Come on.

Yeah?

Yeah.

This

is the first round of the

two-round Grand Prix

to crown the greatest

fighter in the world.

I gotta say, it's so great

to see Mark Kerr knock out

their smiling amongst this

highly elite group of fighters.

Please rise for the Star-Spangled Banner.

But this is his first real test against

the Dean.

Can he still fight with everything he's

been through?

And he's someone who could really win this

whole tournament.

That was the May 1st, 2000.

The winner of the tournament walks away

with a whopping $200,000.

Life-changing money.

Now, that's no joke.

Japanese theory.

And it's called, like, a kid so shitty.

Or a kid so whatever.

They say when you repair something,

it makes it more beautiful.

And it

has some history, so I just wanted to fix

it.

I don't know, it's like, you were supposed

to use gold, but I had crazy glues.

Crazy glues.

Crazy glues?

I think it's the point that it's supposed

to look kind of bad.

No, no, no, it doesn't look bad.

It doesn't look bad.

It's beautiful.

It's the most meaningful thing anyone's

ever done.

And I love you.

So, tomorrow... what was it?

Tomorrow I figured I'd work it out for

about an hour or so back at the hotel,

and then we'll hit the road, drive back to

Phoenix.

So, what are you going to do next week?

What are we going to do?

Who's going to do it for you?

I'll figure it out.

Listen, you really believe it's a good

idea?

Yeah, I know what

I'm doing right now.

You ready for me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to pull the car up,

okay?

Okay.

You done?

Yeah.

What do you think?

You're a big baby girl.

He's right here.

Honey, why is Coleman calling you?

Did you call him?

I was probably just calling to check up on

me.

The boss also called you, which I thought

was kind of weird.

It's not weird.

They're my friends.

I just thought it was funny that they're

both calling you.

Well, it's not funny.

They're my friends.

It's perfectly normal for them to call me

and just to check up on me.

They just called you out of the blue.

Don, I haven't been fighting a couple of

weeks.

They're probably just calling to see how I

feel about it.

That makes sense.

So they weren't calling

to make sure you were

in a cave and bring

me to Japan with you?

You listened to my answer.

Yeah, I did.

I did because I'm not hearing sh*t from

you, so do you agree with them?

What are you talking about?

Say it, that you don't want me to go with

you to Japan.

I'm not going to say that.

Why?

Just say it.

I just need like a couple of days.

That's it.

I just need two days.

That's it.

Just to focus.

You're saying I can't help you focus?

No, I'm not saying that at all.

I'm just saying, Don, I need you to

understand.

This is a big deal for me.

It's the biggest fight ever.

I just need a couple of days.

That's it.

Just a couple of days to focus.

Paz is saying I just

need to... I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

You know what?

I don't f*cking get it.

What do you get, Don?

I don't f*cking get it because I do

everything for you around here, okay?

I book your appointments.

I cook for you.

I clean your f*cking underwear.

I know you do.

I thank you in the past.

And I appreciate everything you do.

This is a crazy tournament.

This is the biggest fight of my life.

Just say you don't want me to go.

I'm not going to say that.

It confuses the situation.

I'm not going to say that.

You just look me in the eye and you tell

me you hate me.

And you don't want me to go.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

And how many times do I have to rewrite my

boundaries with you?

This is so f*cking exhausting.

I'm sorry.

I just need you to let me in.

I feel so excluded from everything.

And I'd love to know about your fighting.

And I'd love to know about your training.

And how are you feeling in your body?

But you don't want to tell me anything.

Oh, no.

Don't do that.

Do not do that.

Don't act like all of a sudden you give

two shits about my body and my training.

And the only thing you care about is

yourself.

Really?

Inserting yourself into everything.

Yes, that's it.

Always about you.

This is everything.

This is about you.

And all you give me

is your shitty f*cking

leftovers and you keep

telling me it's dinner time.

I was asking, did you read that one of

your little f*cking books?

Oh, f*ck you, as*h*le.

Yeah, I did.

That's how I feel.

Read it's how you feel.

You want to know how I feel?

You know what sucks?

And what's not nice?

Is that I'm working my a*s off trying to

stay sober around here.

Sure, okay.

Yeah, maybe I'll call your sponsor.

Don't f*cking do that.

You stop.

Don't f*cking work my program like that.

Don't you f*cking work my program like

that.

You want to hit me?

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's f*cking go.

Mr. Mr. Cuckett in control.

I don't know what to do.

I'm working my a*s off.

To make a life changing amount of money.

And what are you doing?

I just get out of rehab.

And you're out till four o'clock in the

morning with your friends.

You're drinking.

You're eating Advil at f*cking two thirty

in the afternoon.

You think that's nice to me?

You think that's encouraging?

No, it's rude.

And it's selfish.

And it's f*cked up.

And that's why you're not going to Japan.

I knew it was you.

I knew it was your f*cking idea.

You knew it.

Yeah, of course you did.

Of course.

Because it's all about you.

All about you.

You don't care about me.

You don't care about my feelings.

You just care about yourself.

And your dumb f*cking friends.

And your stupid f*cking fight.

My stupid f*cking fighting.

That's paid for this f*cking house.

My stupid f*cking fighting.

That's paid for the car.

Paid for that f*cking outfit.

But that's how you like it.

You just want to know everything.

That's on you.

All these insecurities don't are on you.

So whatever's going on in that f*cked up

head of yours, that's an inside job.

I don't think you know a damn thing about

me.

You don't know a damn thing about me.

You know that, Mark?

I think it's best if you leave.

We're having a party.

Can't do a party.

No, because everybody's coming over and

everyone's excited.

And I was really excited about it.

And I feel like we could just talk about

this tomorrow.

And I don't have to come to Japan or

anything.

It's okay.

Don't go in the room, pack a bag,

and get out.

Beneath the city, to our street.

Sold in junk running through our nights so

tender.

In a bedroom locked, and whispered in

sound.

Don't.

In the future, we may... Don't.

Don't.

Don't.

Don't.

Don't.

Don't.

I'll be here.

Open the door.

Maybe we're going to talk this through.

I need you to look me in the eyes just so

you can see what I'm feeling.

Don't.

Where's the girl who said something?

You're not.

You took her hand off me.

You took the hand off me.

I wasn't going to do anything.

I'm just pretending where they're from.

The doctor's going to assess her mental

health.

And we'll be able to go to Sierra.

You'd be able to see

her, but after a medical

doctor actually come in

there and assess her first.

We tried.

Would you like Fushita or Marker?

Yeah, that's a very difficult question.

I don't think I can answer that one.

I totally understand.

I'd say, what if Marker does win?

Would it be hard for you to fight such a

good friend of yours?

Yeah, of course.

But look, if it happens, it happens,

right?

I'm going to give him my all.

He's going to do the same.

And we'll see what happens.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Mark told me he enters

the finals off the heels of a

decisive victory against

Sataki in the first round.

Given his recent losses

before that match, this could

be Coleman's last chance

at this elusive championship.

He has a tough match to have in his pocket

up here.

A promising fighter looking to make a name

for himself.

But a victory here tonight would pit him

against the winner of Curve vs.

Fushita later this evening.

Coleman's trainer has told

us that he has been working

on his boxing game recently

and that we should hold him.

Something tells me I might take a wreck

and

he'll win against one of the toughest

fighters in

this in any way similar to the man I know

he is.

Mark,

can you hear me?

Do you know what happened to you?

Yeah.

You did.

Do you know where you are right now?

Yeah.

Yeah, you need a few stitches.

Is it bad?

No, it's not horrible.

No.

I'm just gonna go over here and get

everything ready.

Alright.

It'll be a few minutes.

You just sit tight here.

Yeah.

Okay.

Alright.

I hate to do this, brother, but I gotta go

back to the commentator.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome, brother.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

Don't try that.

Hey, don't.

Don't.

Sorry.

Hey, he's okay.

He's alright.

I got a gash here.

I got a stitch there.

It's clearing up.

It's clearing my door.

No, no, no, by the way.

What's going on, buddy?

What's going on, man?

How you doing?

You know.

You alright?

Yeah, a little bang up.

Nothing worried about nothing.

Whatever.

Let it go.

Happens.

It's one night.

We've all been there.

You heard about Vegeta, right?

He's out.

He's not coming back.

He's injured.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

That's all he used to win, now,

Colt.

For real?

For real.

Yeah, Muddy.

It's all yours.

Go get it.

I'll f*cking get it.

All yours.

Appreciate it.

Good night, Muddy.

We'll bring it up.

I'll get it done.

Someone told me he was coming into this

fight.

I was looking fresh and never.

After his good friend, Markura,

inadvertently, did him a favor after

Fujita injured his knees in their fight

together.

The question is...

How are you?

I'm good.

Thank you.

How's your day so far?

So far so good.

Yours?

That's good.

It's gonna get real busy.

Mark and Dawn reuntited after his loss and

got married in las vegas ten days later.

They were married for six years,

and have a son together.

Mark retired from fighting in 2009.

Kerr and Coleman were some of the

earliest pioneers of the sport.

Todays star fighters can earn millions

and everyone knows their names.

His name is Mark Kerr.

See you guys.
