A documentary about Ultimate Fighting Champion Mark Kerr and his sport. The sport is brutal, but popular. I had never seen any matches and had no idea of its global reach. Kerr is a mountain of a man. He is well-spoken, Syracuse educated, but he tries to beat the shit out of other men as a profession. We see a struggle with hard drugs and an unhealthy relationship with a hot, but troubled girlfriend. Much more interesting on a non-visceral level than I was expecting. Part of the fantastic America Undercover doc series on HBO.
