"Beerbohm"?
Did he get to pick his own name when he was 16?
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms, turning every good thing to rust.
If you don’t know Fancy Pants, you don’t know shit about MMA.
Although detractors decry (MMA) as a brutal, bloody form of human cockfighting, aficionados know it is a brutal, bloody, totally fucking awesome form of human cockfighting. -The Onion

Admitting it is only the first step.

Dude, seriously read up on him. Great story, great fighter, great future.

i did read up on him
and he does seem to have a great future… undefeated and rising steadily through stiffer competition. I’m just sayin, “Beerbohm” is the type of name I would’ve picked when I was in 10th grade and trying to sound awesome, not really knowing I was a toolbag. But, if it’s his birthname, then hell—God bless him

pretty cool
but i felt like it tried a little too hard to be gritty. I know there is a lot of low level guys struggling and not making money, but they made it look a little less civilized than i like to think it really is. We got a couple guys from our Gym that fight low level MMA and its not THAT bad
Was I too feel sorry for them? I missed the part where they were forced into MMA. Franks 5 years have been going for 15 now. So if I decided not to get and education or a job with security everyone should feel sorry for me? I have worked too hard too long to take pity on people because of THEIR choices.
Everyone of those guys should go roof for 25 hours a week. They would triple their pay and have insurance. God that was easy.
forced
this ‘documentary’ preview made me feel like they were going for the same thing that ‘smashing machine’ had going… except not as dramatic and with nobody from the ufc, looks kinda boring

Good for mainstream fans to see this
I think this will help kids that are aspiring to become fighters with an insight of what it is really all about being a professional fighter and give a second thought to getting that education or understanding the sacrifices they will have to make. Shamrock can act?
