1
00:00:54,939 --> 00:00:56,774
Are you ready?
2
00:00:56,808 --> 00:00:58,508
Are you ready?
3
00:01:01,611 --> 00:01:03,313
And fight.
4
00:01:50,594 --> 00:01:52,697
Tap! Tap!
5
00:01:52,730 --> 00:01:53,865
That's it. That's it.
6
00:02:09,781 --> 00:02:12,349
Let me see it. Give it to me.
7
00:02:15,119 --> 00:02:16,419
Give it!
8
00:02:16,988 --> 00:02:18,956
Leave him alone!
9
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:20,925
Hey, guys, look.
10
00:02:20,958 --> 00:02:22,927
- I got the freak's arm!
- Give it back!
11
00:02:34,772 --> 00:02:36,640
What's your name?
12
00:02:36,674 --> 00:02:38,608
Nick.
13
00:02:38,642 --> 00:02:41,078
My name's Abi.
You watch wrestling?
14
00:02:41,112 --> 00:02:42,947
Every Saturday morning.
15
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:46,516
Me too. I watch it
every Saturday Morning, too.
16
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:49,086
- Even the reruns?
- Yeah. Who's your favorite?
17
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,620
Probably "The Bear Braun".
18
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:53,456
Cool.
19
00:02:53,490 --> 00:02:55,325
It's yours. You keep it.
20
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,062
Cool. Thanks.
21
00:04:00,658 --> 00:04:02,894
- Hi.
- Hi.
22
00:04:02,927 --> 00:04:04,494
Is Nick here?
23
00:04:04,527 --> 00:04:06,496
- What's your name?
- Abi.
24
00:04:06,529 --> 00:04:09,867
Abi. Okay, um...
Nick, Abi's here!
25
00:04:09,901 --> 00:04:11,421
- I'll show you to his room.
- Alright.
26
00:04:19,777 --> 00:04:22,046
We must be twins.
27
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,916
I have those same posters.
28
00:04:24,949 --> 00:04:27,450
I'm the main event.
I never lose a bout!
29
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:31,722
Here comes a sucka-sucka-sucker punch.
Lights out.
30
00:04:31,756 --> 00:04:35,558
I fear no man,
no beast, or evil brother.
31
00:04:35,592 --> 00:04:38,729
Awesome! My turn.
32
00:04:47,038 --> 00:04:50,573
When I grow up, I want to be
a professional wrestler.
33
00:04:50,607 --> 00:04:53,678
Have a big house.
Own four Harley's.
34
00:04:53,711 --> 00:04:56,080
Harley's? What's that?
35
00:04:56,113 --> 00:04:58,481
Only the greatest motorcycle
ever made.
36
00:04:58,515 --> 00:05:01,852
My dad promised
he'd buy me one when I turn 16.
37
00:05:01,886 --> 00:05:04,155
- What about your dad?
- What about him?
38
00:05:04,188 --> 00:05:06,724
- Where is he?
- Don't know.
39
00:05:06,757 --> 00:05:08,491
What do you mean you
"don't know"?
40
00:05:08,525 --> 00:05:10,828
He left when I was a baby.
41
00:05:10,861 --> 00:05:13,197
Well, he sucks.
42
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:15,733
Yeah. He does.
43
00:05:21,872 --> 00:05:25,642
Sucka Punch Pinsky's
on the top apron and...
44
00:05:25,676 --> 00:05:27,510
pile drives an elbow
into his head.
45
00:05:27,544 --> 00:05:30,647
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Knock it off!
46
00:05:38,789 --> 00:05:43,928
Why don't you guys stop faking like
you wrestle, and do it for real, huh?
47
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:21,065
A girl.
48
00:06:21,098 --> 00:06:23,234
You've got to be kidding me.
49
00:06:23,267 --> 00:06:24,969
Hey, Shelby, eat shit.
50
00:06:27,938 --> 00:06:30,007
Hey, what are you laughing at,
"Elbow"?
51
00:06:30,875 --> 00:06:31,976
His name is Nick.
52
00:06:32,009 --> 00:06:33,978
No, it ain't, it's Elbow.
53
00:06:34,011 --> 00:06:36,847
Alright, cut the crap.
54
00:06:36,881 --> 00:06:38,615
Everybody gather around.
55
00:06:39,884 --> 00:06:41,685
Come on,
move it like you mean it.
56
00:06:41,719 --> 00:06:43,120
There you go. Come on, come on.
57
00:06:43,154 --> 00:06:46,657
You, you, you, you,
let's do this.
58
00:06:46,690 --> 00:06:49,727
Come on, Elbow,
you better not lose to a girl.
59
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,296
You know what,
don't you worry about me, man.
60
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:54,689
Coach must know I'm the only
one that can handle the ladies.
61
00:06:58,369 --> 00:07:00,738
Holy crap! Oh, my God!
62
00:07:00,771 --> 00:07:03,274
Elbow just lost to a girl!
63
00:07:03,307 --> 00:07:05,876
Alright. Okay, alright.
64
00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:09,313
Let's, uh... Maybe we need to
go over some basics.
65
00:07:10,915 --> 00:07:12,016
You're not gonna quit.
66
00:07:13,651 --> 00:07:15,886
- Everybody laughed at me.
- So what?
67
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,288
- "So what?"
- So what?
68
00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:18,999
The kids already make fun of me
because of my arm,
69
00:07:19,023 --> 00:07:20,367
now I get beat
by a girl, I mean...
70
00:07:20,391 --> 00:07:22,625
Do you like wrestling?
71
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:25,029
- Yeah.
- Well, then you're gonna stick with it.
72
00:07:27,198 --> 00:07:31,936
Listen, if you don't believe in
yourself why would anybody else?
73
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:55,726
Holy shit, man!
Are you kidding me?
74
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:00,898
Man, this is a 1979
Harley Davidson Shovelhead.
75
00:08:00,931 --> 00:08:03,033
This beauty has
a high performance engine
76
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:07,138
running 1,340 cc's
of pure aggression.
77
00:08:07,171 --> 00:08:10,174
S&S heads and carburetor,
all chrome parts,
78
00:08:10,207 --> 00:08:14,345
polished up with a two-tone metal flake
blue and green and a white pearl finish.
79
00:08:17,948 --> 00:08:20,017
I have no idea
what you just said.
80
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,087
Chicks dig bikes.
81
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:26,957
Keep telling yourself that.
82
00:08:28,826 --> 00:08:31,128
Wait, is that jealousy I smell?
83
00:08:31,162 --> 00:08:34,098
Oh-oh, yes, it is, Nick,
and it's strong.
84
00:08:34,131 --> 00:08:37,301
It's strong man.
85
00:08:37,334 --> 00:08:38,974
- Come on, we're going to be late.
- Yeah.
86
00:08:43,073 --> 00:08:46,210
Alright, there you go.
Take him down.
87
00:08:47,111 --> 00:08:48,179
Take him down.
88
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,283
Keep active, keep active.
Active.
89
00:08:52,316 --> 00:08:53,884
Alright.
90
00:09:03,894 --> 00:09:06,230
Okay, okay, okay.
Good, Abi, good.
91
00:09:09,099 --> 00:09:10,099
Good, stand up.
92
00:09:16,173 --> 00:09:19,376
Nick. Nick.
93
00:09:19,410 --> 00:09:21,845
You can't let him
get position like that.
94
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:24,014
Okay, so here, let's do it.
95
00:09:24,048 --> 00:09:28,152
Alright, if he gets the leg,
then loop your arm like this.
96
00:09:28,185 --> 00:09:30,154
Punch the wizard, there.
97
00:09:30,187 --> 00:09:32,427
Now you've got leverage,
you can throw him over your leg.
98
00:09:34,058 --> 00:09:35,092
Got it?
99
00:09:35,125 --> 00:09:37,261
Questions, comments, concerns?
100
00:09:37,294 --> 00:09:39,930
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay. Alright, then try.
101
00:09:39,964 --> 00:09:40,998
Your turn, come on.
102
00:09:46,303 --> 00:09:49,406
There you go.
Yeah, there you go, alright.
103
00:09:51,075 --> 00:09:53,410
Loop your arm, loop your arm,
loop your arm!
104
00:09:53,444 --> 00:09:55,279
Faster, faster!
105
00:10:00,918 --> 00:10:02,019
Alright, good, Abi.
106
00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:10,394
Nick, do you know
what happened there?
107
00:10:10,427 --> 00:10:14,798
- Yeah, he kicked my ass.
- Good observation. Do you know why?
108
00:10:14,832 --> 00:10:16,333
That's the key
to getting better.
109
00:10:27,044 --> 00:10:28,412
See how that works?
110
00:10:28,445 --> 00:10:30,414
Left arm behind the head.
111
00:10:30,447 --> 00:10:32,449
You only need your right-hand
to pull this off.
112
00:10:33,917 --> 00:10:35,152
Alright, it's your turn.
113
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:47,530
Not bad.
114
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,349
Alright, guys,
come on, huddle up.
115
00:11:38,382 --> 00:11:39,550
Come on, move it.
116
00:11:41,452 --> 00:11:44,121
Remember, every point counts,
stay off your backs.
117
00:11:44,154 --> 00:11:45,122
Abi, you're up.
118
00:11:45,155 --> 00:11:46,490
Alright, send him out.
119
00:11:47,558 --> 00:11:49,226
Yeah.
120
00:11:49,259 --> 00:11:51,428
- One, two, three...
- Abi!
121
00:12:03,273 --> 00:12:04,541
Come on, work. Work, Abi, work!
122
00:12:15,452 --> 00:12:17,421
Run the bar, run the bar.
123
00:12:21,091 --> 00:12:23,193
Come on, get him, Abi. Get him!
124
00:12:23,227 --> 00:12:25,028
Yes!
125
00:12:26,597 --> 00:12:28,232
Good, Abi, good.
126
00:12:30,334 --> 00:12:32,035
- Good job, son.
- Thank you, sir.
127
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,611
Hey, hey, hey, yes! Good job.
128
00:12:40,644 --> 00:12:43,380
Next up at 150lbs:
129
00:12:43,414 --> 00:12:46,917
Nick Newell versus Tyler Burrow.
130
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:50,997
- Alright, let's send him out.
- Let's go.
131
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:52,122
- Alright.
- Let's go, Nick.
132
00:12:52,156 --> 00:12:54,491
- One, two, three...
- Nick.
133
00:12:57,995 --> 00:13:00,364
- You've got this, bro.
- Remember the basics.
134
00:13:00,397 --> 00:13:03,100
Remember what we talked about,
stay focused.
135
00:13:09,473 --> 00:13:10,574
You got this.
136
00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:13,977
- You can do it.
- Come on.
137
00:13:14,011 --> 00:13:15,279
It's all yours.
138
00:13:46,109 --> 00:13:47,344
Tough finish.
139
00:13:50,481 --> 00:13:52,282
Geez, Coach,
kid only had one arm.
140
00:13:56,553 --> 00:13:57,655
Good effort.
141
00:13:58,288 --> 00:13:59,691
Hey...
142
00:13:59,724 --> 00:14:01,124
you'll get him
next time, alright.
143
00:14:15,305 --> 00:14:17,174
Nick, dinner's ready.
144
00:14:20,444 --> 00:14:22,012
Come on.
145
00:14:25,315 --> 00:14:26,550
What's wrong?
146
00:14:27,719 --> 00:14:30,053
I can't do this, Mom.
147
00:14:30,087 --> 00:14:33,290
Look, the only
disability in life
148
00:14:33,323 --> 00:14:35,158
is a shitty attitude, Nick.
149
00:14:37,461 --> 00:14:38,730
You can do it.
150
00:15:00,852 --> 00:15:04,454
Jim, over here!
Jim, I want you to meet my son.
151
00:15:04,488 --> 00:15:06,490
Jim, hi, how are you?
152
00:15:07,725 --> 00:15:10,093
- Jim Abbott.
- So they tell me.
153
00:15:10,127 --> 00:15:11,763
Mr. Abbott,
my son is a big fan of yours.
154
00:15:11,796 --> 00:15:13,573
I mean, if we could
just have a moment of your time.
155
00:15:13,597 --> 00:15:15,375
He's a wrestler,
he's not very good but he's...
156
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:16,400
- Mom.
- What?
157
00:15:16,433 --> 00:15:18,569
Wrestling, huh?
158
00:15:18,602 --> 00:15:21,505
I'll tell you what,
I don't have to be back for a few minutes
159
00:15:21,538 --> 00:15:24,842
so why don't we
go over here and have a chat.
160
00:15:24,876 --> 00:15:26,510
Come on, let's go.
161
00:15:32,482 --> 00:15:34,318
So you're a wrestler, huh?
162
00:15:36,353 --> 00:15:37,722
Yeah, but, um...
163
00:15:37,755 --> 00:15:39,389
But what?
164
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,395
I suck.
165
00:15:46,496 --> 00:15:48,599
Do you want to know something?
166
00:15:48,632 --> 00:15:50,868
I sucked too,
when I was in high school.
167
00:15:52,636 --> 00:15:56,473
But I loved baseball,
more than anything.
168
00:15:57,675 --> 00:15:59,109
And I stuck with it.
169
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:04,247
If you love wrestling,
170
00:16:04,281 --> 00:16:07,384
you've got to work harder
than everyone else.
171
00:16:09,954 --> 00:16:11,521
But do what you love.
172
00:16:22,967 --> 00:16:24,267
Stick with it.
173
00:16:26,738 --> 00:16:29,172
And never give up.
174
00:16:47,491 --> 00:16:50,327
- Oh, hey, Coach.
- Oh, Nick will be right out.
175
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,629
Coach, I wanted to talk to you
about something.
176
00:16:52,664 --> 00:16:54,264
Sure, what's up?
177
00:16:54,297 --> 00:16:56,433
I was wondering if you
thought there might be a way
178
00:16:56,466 --> 00:16:58,836
for Nick to get better, quicker.
179
00:17:00,504 --> 00:17:02,572
Well, there's-there's
wrestling camp
180
00:17:02,606 --> 00:17:04,307
over the summer but it's...
181
00:17:04,341 --> 00:17:06,276
- But?
- But it's not cheap,
182
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:08,509
and I'm never comfortable
spending other people's money.
183
00:17:09,881 --> 00:17:11,749
Alright,
let me worry about that.
184
00:17:37,675 --> 00:17:39,443
Sorry, I'm late.
I'll get dinner ready.
185
00:17:39,476 --> 00:17:41,012
No, don't worry about it.
186
00:17:41,045 --> 00:17:42,780
No, it'll only take me
a few minutes.
187
00:17:42,814 --> 00:17:45,917
- Mom, sit down.
- Hm...
188
00:17:47,819 --> 00:17:48,853
What's wrong?
189
00:17:53,825 --> 00:17:55,258
What's-what's the matter?
190
00:17:56,526 --> 00:17:58,361
Why were these in the trash?
191
00:18:00,832 --> 00:18:02,466
Because Coach Jeremy
thinks you should go
192
00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:04,577
to wrestling camp this summer,
and I happen to be in agreement.
193
00:18:04,601 --> 00:18:05,837
I know.
194
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:07,313
Well, then why didn't you
say anything?
195
00:18:07,337 --> 00:18:08,438
Because we can't afford it.
196
00:18:08,472 --> 00:18:10,708
That is not for you
to worry about.
197
00:18:10,742 --> 00:18:12,442
- I'm not going.
- Yes, you are.
198
00:18:12,476 --> 00:18:13,945
It's already been decided, Nick.
199
00:18:16,681 --> 00:18:19,884
You need that money,
for nursing school, it's important.
200
00:18:19,917 --> 00:18:21,786
It is not as important.
201
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:28,434
And when you become a parent
one day you will realize
202
00:18:28,458 --> 00:18:30,962
that your kids dreams
come before your own, okay?
203
00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:33,463
Please allow me that.
204
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:44,307
Just promise me... promise me one day
you're gonna go to nursing school.
205
00:18:44,341 --> 00:18:45,843
Okay, I promise you.
206
00:19:28,052 --> 00:19:30,620
Alright, time to get back
in the game, right?
207
00:19:30,655 --> 00:19:32,622
You've got to get
your head right, out of summer.
208
00:19:32,657 --> 00:19:34,091
Gonna be a great season.
209
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:36,127
Hey, come on.
Come on, you guys, sit down.
210
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,428
Join us. Nick, Abi, sit down.
211
00:19:38,461 --> 00:19:39,964
Abi, Nick, welcome back.
212
00:19:39,997 --> 00:19:41,631
Great.
213
00:19:41,666 --> 00:19:43,034
We're gonna suck
again this year.
214
00:19:43,067 --> 00:19:46,771
Hey. Hey, that's enough, Shelby.
It's a team effort.
215
00:19:46,804 --> 00:19:49,006
Then Elbow
doesn't belong on the team.
216
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,842
Well, you're one to talk Shelby.
217
00:19:50,875 --> 00:19:53,510
Only move your good at
is shitting out of your mouth.
218
00:19:53,543 --> 00:19:54,846
Cool it, Newell.
219
00:19:54,879 --> 00:19:57,347
- Hey...
- You know, how about we wrestle?
220
00:19:58,883 --> 00:20:00,117
Yeah.
221
00:20:00,151 --> 00:20:02,053
How about we wrestle.
222
00:20:02,086 --> 00:20:04,922
Elbow, what dreamland
are you living in?
223
00:20:06,090 --> 00:20:07,524
I want to wrestle him, Coach.
224
00:20:09,492 --> 00:20:11,394
Tell you what,
if you win I'll walk.
225
00:20:14,999 --> 00:20:15,999
Alright, Nick.
226
00:20:17,601 --> 00:20:20,637
So if he wins,
no more nicknames, right?
227
00:20:23,074 --> 00:20:24,541
- Do it, Shelby.
- Alright.
228
00:20:24,574 --> 00:20:25,743
You scared?
229
00:20:28,813 --> 00:20:31,716
Alright, freak, let's do this.
230
00:20:38,656 --> 00:20:39,656
Wrestle.
231
00:20:41,458 --> 00:20:42,894
Come on, Nick, kick his ass.
232
00:20:45,663 --> 00:20:46,664
Where are you going?
233
00:20:50,835 --> 00:20:52,169
You done yet?
234
00:20:52,203 --> 00:20:53,771
Not even close.
235
00:21:00,144 --> 00:21:01,144
Yes!
236
00:21:07,151 --> 00:21:09,086
No, no, no.
237
00:21:10,888 --> 00:21:13,556
Okay, alright, he's pinned,
he's pinned. It's over.
238
00:21:14,557 --> 00:21:15,760
Yes!
239
00:21:15,793 --> 00:21:16,793
Hey!
240
00:21:18,029 --> 00:21:20,231
That's not fair!
241
00:21:20,264 --> 00:21:22,599
I was clearly
outside of the circle.
242
00:21:22,632 --> 00:21:26,603
- What, you want to go again?
- No, no, it's over it's over. Newell won.
243
00:21:26,636 --> 00:21:28,005
No more nicknames, period.
244
00:21:29,907 --> 00:21:31,042
Nice.
245
00:21:41,852 --> 00:21:44,088
Whoo!
246
00:21:50,061 --> 00:21:51,162
You're a beast, man
247
00:21:51,195 --> 00:21:53,130
I agree.
248
00:21:53,164 --> 00:21:56,233
Nick Newell
and Jeff Sommers to the mat.
249
00:21:56,267 --> 00:21:58,601
Alright, alright, listen to me,
250
00:21:58,635 --> 00:22:01,038
this guy is strong,
and he has good technique.
251
00:22:01,072 --> 00:22:02,605
Alright. Any weaknesses?
252
00:22:02,639 --> 00:22:06,010
Uh, nope, he's basically like
the perfect wrestler.
253
00:22:07,678 --> 00:22:11,548
- Sick.
- No, Nick, you can beat him.
254
00:22:11,581 --> 00:22:13,184
Just don't let him
dictate the action.
255
00:22:13,217 --> 00:22:15,686
Stay aggressive,
and go right after him.
256
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,254
Hey, hey, hey,
who's the coach here?
257
00:22:17,288 --> 00:22:19,223
- Sorry, Coach.
- Alright, Nick, listen.
258
00:22:19,256 --> 00:22:23,661
Listen, I want you to do...
to do exactly what Abi says.
259
00:22:23,694 --> 00:22:26,964
Huh? We only need one more match
win to get us to regionals.
260
00:22:26,998 --> 00:22:30,968
Alright, okay,
huddle up, come on.
261
00:22:31,002 --> 00:22:33,771
Alright, it's Nick. Here we go.
262
00:22:35,572 --> 00:22:37,875
- Alright, one, two, three...
- Nick!
263
00:23:02,733 --> 00:23:04,668
Nick, Nick, you done?
264
00:23:06,636 --> 00:23:09,240
There's a consolation match
coming up in...
265
00:23:09,273 --> 00:23:11,909
Oh, man, I am freezing
my ass off out here.
266
00:23:15,913 --> 00:23:20,317
Alright, I'm going back inside.
267
00:23:20,351 --> 00:23:23,187
If you're not right behind me
I'm gonna tell the officials
268
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:26,323
that you're forfeiting the
consolation round because you quit.
269
00:23:27,825 --> 00:23:29,193
Are you a quitter, Newell?
270
00:23:38,903 --> 00:23:41,872
Just remember, remember Nick,
271
00:23:41,906 --> 00:23:45,608
fear is only temporary,
regret is forever.
272
00:24:28,352 --> 00:24:30,688
Got 'em.
273
00:24:30,721 --> 00:24:32,756
Dammit.
274
00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:34,425
Oh, you're getting
much better, man.
275
00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:36,660
Yeah.
276
00:24:39,096 --> 00:24:41,765
- Almost. Yeah.
- Almost? How about a rematch?
277
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:42,933
- Let's go.
- Rematch?
278
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:44,168
Can we get some more beers
279
00:24:44,201 --> 00:24:46,303
whenever you get a chance,
please? Thank you.
280
00:24:51,041 --> 00:24:54,145
I missed you, man.
It's been a while.
281
00:24:54,178 --> 00:24:55,178
Yeah.
282
00:24:56,313 --> 00:24:58,949
Yeah, man, too long.
283
00:25:01,452 --> 00:25:03,220
Let's not let that happen again.
284
00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:06,690
Deal.
285
00:25:06,724 --> 00:25:08,101
I'm going to empty
the tanks real quick, alright.
286
00:25:08,125 --> 00:25:09,160
Yeah.
287
00:25:13,364 --> 00:25:15,199
- I'm sorry, man.
- What the hell, man?
288
00:25:22,940 --> 00:25:24,074
Are we done here?
289
00:25:25,242 --> 00:25:26,710
Yeah, we're done.
290
00:25:31,882 --> 00:25:34,251
That was crazy. Where the hell
did you learn how to do that?
291
00:25:34,285 --> 00:25:35,486
Yeah, man, I know, I...
292
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:37,454
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
293
00:25:38,389 --> 00:25:39,690
Check this out.
294
00:26:00,778 --> 00:26:02,146
So this is mixed martial arts?
295
00:26:02,179 --> 00:26:04,014
Yeah, man, it's a combat sport
296
00:26:04,048 --> 00:26:05,883
that combines both
striking and wrestling.
297
00:26:05,916 --> 00:26:08,886
It's growing like crazy
right now.
298
00:26:08,919 --> 00:26:10,788
And you want to know
what the best part is?
299
00:26:11,322 --> 00:26:12,356
What?
300
00:26:12,389 --> 00:26:14,091
We get paid.
301
00:26:18,028 --> 00:26:19,330
That's-that's cool and all, Abi.
302
00:26:19,363 --> 00:26:21,265
We're not MMA fighters.
303
00:26:21,298 --> 00:26:23,867
Yeah, but we're wrestlers,
304
00:26:23,901 --> 00:26:26,237
which is the best foundation
to start with.
305
00:26:28,405 --> 00:26:29,405
Come on.
306
00:26:38,949 --> 00:26:41,051
Hey, you here for the try outs?
307
00:26:41,085 --> 00:26:42,453
Oh, yeah.
308
00:26:42,486 --> 00:26:45,456
- Tryouts?
- Yes, next week.
309
00:26:45,489 --> 00:26:47,400
Several of you will beat
the shit out of each other,
310
00:26:47,424 --> 00:26:48,568
and one of you will be
the winner,
311
00:26:48,592 --> 00:26:51,128
and get $500 and a fight
312
00:26:51,161 --> 00:26:53,530
in next month's
amateur promotion.
313
00:26:55,065 --> 00:26:56,467
Do you want to fill one out?
314
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:58,469
Five-hundred bucks right?
315
00:26:58,502 --> 00:27:00,371
If you're the winner, yeah.
316
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,341
Yeah, give me an application.
317
00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:06,076
- Alright then.
- Thank you.
318
00:27:09,947 --> 00:27:11,915
Good thing you
write with your right hand.
319
00:27:55,225 --> 00:27:56,960
This is what you
want to do to make money?
320
00:27:57,961 --> 00:28:00,931
Hell, yeah. It pays well.
321
00:28:05,436 --> 00:28:08,505
Besides,
these guys are strikers.
322
00:28:08,539 --> 00:28:11,241
You get them to the ground
and they're helpless.
323
00:28:12,509 --> 00:28:13,509
Mm.
324
00:28:19,216 --> 00:28:22,096
How many punches am I gonna have to
take before I get them to the ground?
325
00:28:23,053 --> 00:28:25,856
A few,
but you've got a thick skull.
326
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:30,360
You're up.
327
00:28:34,331 --> 00:28:35,966
Show 'em how it's done, man.
328
00:28:44,608 --> 00:28:46,176
Let's go, Abi!
329
00:29:01,959 --> 00:29:03,160
Oh, sh...
330
00:29:14,071 --> 00:29:15,205
Come on, man, come on.
331
00:29:18,242 --> 00:29:19,610
Come on, Abi, lock it in!
332
00:29:21,645 --> 00:29:25,215
Yes! Come on, baby! Hell, yeah!
333
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:29,553
Okay, next up.
334
00:29:35,092 --> 00:29:36,493
My boy.
335
00:29:36,527 --> 00:29:38,162
That's not bad, man.
336
00:29:38,195 --> 00:29:40,631
Alright. Kick his ass, alright.
337
00:29:40,665 --> 00:29:44,101
- Alright, man.
- Yeah. Go get him.
338
00:29:47,004 --> 00:29:48,605
Alright, guys,
let's keep it clean.
339
00:29:48,639 --> 00:29:51,508
I just want to
see your skills, okay?
340
00:29:51,542 --> 00:29:54,077
Yo, I can't fight this guy.
341
00:29:54,111 --> 00:29:55,747
You know, if I had a dollar
342
00:29:55,780 --> 00:29:57,181
for every asswipe
that's said that,
343
00:29:57,214 --> 00:29:58,525
I wouldn't have to fight
for this 500.
344
00:29:58,549 --> 00:30:00,317
Bro, who are you
calling an asswipe, man?
345
00:30:00,350 --> 00:30:02,386
Okay, you know what,
to compete in this promotion,
346
00:30:02,419 --> 00:30:06,356
you actually need to physically
beat him not with your scary words.
347
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:09,526
So let's fight, huh?
You guys ready?
348
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,262
It's your funeral, gimp.
349
00:30:14,298 --> 00:30:17,167
Okay. Fight.
350
00:30:25,175 --> 00:30:26,678
Gotta protect yourself, Nick.
351
00:30:42,626 --> 00:30:44,729
Wrestle, Nick, wrestle!
Get him to the ground!
352
00:30:47,264 --> 00:30:48,298
There you go.
353
00:31:02,747 --> 00:31:07,518
Okay, uh, he's technically
asleep now, so nice going.
354
00:31:09,453 --> 00:31:10,587
Yes!
355
00:31:10,621 --> 00:31:12,422
Whoo!
356
00:31:12,456 --> 00:31:14,157
Alright, uh, first of all,
357
00:31:14,191 --> 00:31:16,059
I want to thank all of you
for coming out
358
00:31:16,093 --> 00:31:18,562
and kicking ass the way you did.
Very impressive.
359
00:31:18,595 --> 00:31:20,597
I wish we had more than
one spot quite frankly,
360
00:31:20,631 --> 00:31:24,167
because a few of you really
could be moving on at this point.
361
00:31:24,201 --> 00:31:27,070
But only one of you can,
as promised.
362
00:31:27,104 --> 00:31:30,574
So without further ado,
363
00:31:30,607 --> 00:31:34,378
the winner is Abi Maestre.
364
00:31:35,512 --> 00:31:38,615
Look at this guy.
How about that?
365
00:31:38,649 --> 00:31:40,217
Hey, drinks on me
tonight, fellas.
366
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:41,318
Alright, but listen up,
367
00:31:41,351 --> 00:31:43,554
you got four weeks
to prepare, okay.
368
00:31:43,587 --> 00:31:46,791
This Matt Bartunek,
he's not to be taken lightly.
369
00:31:46,824 --> 00:31:50,193
He'll rip off your head and show it
to you before you die, you understand?
370
00:31:50,227 --> 00:31:52,195
- Yes, sir.
- Alright, let's hear it for him.
371
00:32:06,143 --> 00:32:08,111
- Alright, alright, alright.
- Whoo!
372
00:32:08,145 --> 00:32:10,314
All you other losers
better beware,
373
00:32:10,347 --> 00:32:13,650
he'll smash you,
and thrash you, Bubba the Bear!
374
00:32:17,154 --> 00:32:18,656
The Bear's in trouble.
375
00:32:18,690 --> 00:32:21,191
Ladies and gentlemen,
we might have a new champion.
376
00:32:21,224 --> 00:32:22,727
Ahh, not so fast.
377
00:32:26,597 --> 00:32:27,832
Come on, man.
378
00:32:30,702 --> 00:32:32,737
I gotta get going, man.
379
00:32:32,770 --> 00:32:34,504
I'm having dinner with my dad.
380
00:32:34,538 --> 00:32:37,374
Your dad, seriously?
381
00:32:38,275 --> 00:32:39,343
Yeah.
382
00:32:40,812 --> 00:32:42,346
I'll fill you in later.
383
00:32:44,481 --> 00:32:45,482
Alright.
384
00:32:58,595 --> 00:33:02,332
Man I, uh...
I wish you were fighting too.
385
00:33:03,868 --> 00:33:08,305
Nah, they picked the best guy.
386
00:33:08,338 --> 00:33:10,708
Besides, man, for the first time
in my life, I...
387
00:33:12,844 --> 00:33:14,812
I feel like I have
some sort of direction.
388
00:33:16,313 --> 00:33:17,682
So thank you for that.
389
00:33:18,615 --> 00:33:20,183
You always have my back.
390
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:26,289
Of course, man,
you're my brother.
391
00:33:26,891 --> 00:33:28,726
You're my brother.
392
00:33:31,796 --> 00:33:33,230
Now, I'll see you tomorrow,
right?
393
00:33:33,263 --> 00:33:34,297
Yes, sir.
394
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:40,404
Hey, yo, Nick,
do me a favor, alright?
395
00:33:40,437 --> 00:33:41,538
What's up?
396
00:33:42,506 --> 00:33:43,741
Keep your hands up.
397
00:33:45,475 --> 00:33:46,576
Keep my hands up?
398
00:33:46,610 --> 00:33:48,478
Yeah, yeah?
399
00:34:14,371 --> 00:34:15,371
Need a hand with that?
400
00:34:19,476 --> 00:34:20,912
Is that a joke?
401
00:34:20,945 --> 00:34:23,647
Oh, hell no, I-I didn't
mean that I just was...
402
00:34:23,681 --> 00:34:24,782
I'm kidding, Erroll.
403
00:34:28,953 --> 00:34:31,923
Um... it's okay to call me dad.
404
00:34:31,956 --> 00:34:33,590
Yeah, I know.
405
00:34:35,827 --> 00:34:38,428
Is that why you changed
your last name to Newell?
406
00:34:38,462 --> 00:34:39,563
Are you ashamed of my name?
407
00:34:39,596 --> 00:34:40,732
No.
408
00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:44,601
But Mom was.
409
00:34:47,537 --> 00:34:51,641
Listen, Nick, I don't know what your
mom told you about why I left...
410
00:34:53,077 --> 00:34:55,545
but there is so much more...
411
00:34:55,579 --> 00:34:57,481
She told me that you were
a selfish shit
412
00:34:57,514 --> 00:35:00,017
who freaked out at the idea
of raising a kid with one arm.
413
00:35:01,451 --> 00:35:03,688
That sounds like typical
Stacey bullshit.
414
00:35:03,721 --> 00:35:07,557
Hey, Nick, Nick, Nick.
Come on, come...
415
00:35:07,591 --> 00:35:09,559
I'm sorry, come on, come back.
416
00:35:13,064 --> 00:35:14,564
Come on.
417
00:35:14,598 --> 00:35:16,533
No, you listen to me.
418
00:35:16,566 --> 00:35:18,045
You don't get to
talk to her like that.
419
00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:20,537
You don't get to
speak about her like that.
420
00:35:20,570 --> 00:35:23,440
You weren't there for me
and she was.
421
00:35:23,473 --> 00:35:25,710
You weren't there for me
when I needed you.
422
00:35:27,678 --> 00:35:29,781
She's more of a parent to me
that you would ever be.
423
00:35:32,349 --> 00:35:33,349
I know.
424
00:35:34,919 --> 00:35:36,921
I know.
425
00:35:36,954 --> 00:35:40,725
I let you down, and I'm sorry.
426
00:35:42,126 --> 00:35:44,695
I couldn't get my shit together.
427
00:35:44,729 --> 00:35:50,400
I had some issues, some demons
that I couldn't quite drown.
428
00:35:51,702 --> 00:35:55,372
But, look, I-I'm...
I'm better now.
429
00:35:55,405 --> 00:35:56,674
You know what, just..
430
00:35:59,643 --> 00:36:00,812
Don't worry about it.
431
00:36:03,114 --> 00:36:04,581
Mom and I did just fine.
432
00:36:05,850 --> 00:36:06,850
I know you did.
433
00:36:10,154 --> 00:36:11,989
I noticed
you're wrestling again.
434
00:36:13,057 --> 00:36:14,491
How'd you know that?
435
00:36:17,061 --> 00:36:19,596
Hey, how'd you know I even
wrestled in the first place?
436
00:36:20,530 --> 00:36:23,533
Well, I... I check in.
437
00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:25,467
Always have.
438
00:36:32,542 --> 00:36:33,610
Second chance.
439
00:36:34,411 --> 00:36:35,478
Second chance.
440
00:36:37,815 --> 00:36:38,916
Hey, Mom.
441
00:36:42,653 --> 00:36:43,654
Mom?
442
00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:46,657
Mom, what's wrong?
443
00:36:48,159 --> 00:36:49,861
Mom...
444
00:36:50,962 --> 00:36:53,597
Abi was in
a motorcycle accident.
445
00:36:55,967 --> 00:36:57,534
Well, is he okay?
446
00:36:59,136 --> 00:37:01,605
Nick, he died.
447
00:37:03,074 --> 00:37:04,374
What?
448
00:37:05,609 --> 00:37:07,410
What?
449
00:37:07,444 --> 00:37:09,780
- I'm so sorry.
- Abi's dead?
450
00:37:14,085 --> 00:37:15,920
- No.
- Nick...
451
00:37:16,988 --> 00:37:20,725
No. No, Mom, no, no.
452
00:38:17,048 --> 00:38:20,751
Why?! Why?! Why him?!
453
00:38:20,785 --> 00:38:24,889
Why?! Why him?! Why?!
454
00:39:01,624 --> 00:39:02,624
Hey, Nick.
455
00:39:04,729 --> 00:39:06,529
Yeah.
456
00:39:06,563 --> 00:39:07,665
Listen, uh...
457
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,202
I just wanted to say
how sorry I am about Abi.
458
00:39:11,235 --> 00:39:12,870
I know how close you two were.
459
00:39:14,238 --> 00:39:15,272
Yeah.
460
00:39:16,841 --> 00:39:18,608
Yeah, you guys, uh,
461
00:39:18,641 --> 00:39:20,911
you both showed real skill
during the try outs, you know.
462
00:39:22,113 --> 00:39:24,081
I watch you train every day.
463
00:39:25,582 --> 00:39:27,018
Thank you.
464
00:39:27,051 --> 00:39:30,154
Yeah, we still got
that promotional fight...
465
00:39:31,722 --> 00:39:34,125
against Bartunek,
you know, coming up.
466
00:39:37,862 --> 00:39:39,562
How would you feel
about stepping in?
467
00:39:42,266 --> 00:39:44,735
For Abi?
468
00:39:44,769 --> 00:39:47,304
I watch you
train every day with him.
469
00:39:47,338 --> 00:39:48,906
You're ready.
470
00:39:51,608 --> 00:39:54,245
And I'll pay you
the same 500 I promised to him.
471
00:39:56,747 --> 00:39:58,249
The fight's in two days.
472
00:40:01,385 --> 00:40:04,321
Yeah, okay, $1,000 then.
473
00:40:04,355 --> 00:40:06,657
And we got
the championship arena.
474
00:40:11,996 --> 00:40:15,598
Hey, what the hell else
you gonna do on Saturday night?
475
00:40:26,277 --> 00:40:30,181
Hey, you got a nickname?
476
00:40:31,749 --> 00:40:34,051
Um, no.
477
00:40:35,252 --> 00:40:36,954
How about Notorious Nick?
478
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:40,623
Eh, try it on.
479
00:40:48,432 --> 00:40:49,733
Welcome home.
480
00:40:51,035 --> 00:40:53,737
Wow, Chinese food.
481
00:40:53,771 --> 00:40:55,906
I mean, this is something else.
482
00:40:55,940 --> 00:40:58,242
I got you
your favorite too, here.
483
00:41:02,146 --> 00:41:03,714
You're up to something.
484
00:41:05,783 --> 00:41:06,884
What is this?
485
00:41:12,356 --> 00:41:14,796
There's no way you're not going
to finish nursing school, Mom.
486
00:41:16,694 --> 00:41:18,162
Where did you get
this type of money?
487
00:41:19,363 --> 00:41:21,932
- Where?
- I'm filling in for Abi.
488
00:41:23,467 --> 00:41:26,036
You're fighting?
489
00:41:26,070 --> 00:41:29,073
- Yeah.
- Are you out of your mind?
490
00:41:29,106 --> 00:41:31,151
I mean, who's gonna pay for your
medical bills, Nick, when you get hurt?
491
00:41:31,175 --> 00:41:33,144
We don't have medical insurance.
492
00:41:33,177 --> 00:41:35,179
You're almost a nurse,
right, so...
493
00:41:35,212 --> 00:41:36,814
Very funny.
494
00:41:36,847 --> 00:41:41,185
Mom, I'm gonna be careful.
495
00:41:41,218 --> 00:41:42,820
Okay, I know
how to protect myself.
496
00:41:42,853 --> 00:41:46,190
No, no, this is... this is...
this is crazy.
497
00:41:46,223 --> 00:41:48,692
Look, you've been taking care
of me my entire life.
498
00:41:50,194 --> 00:41:53,230
I want to help, it's my turn.
499
00:41:58,002 --> 00:42:01,205
Well, I guess if you're gonna
fight you better kick some ass.
500
00:42:03,774 --> 00:42:05,743
I mean,
some serious ass kicking.
501
00:42:05,776 --> 00:42:06,977
I will.
502
00:42:09,213 --> 00:42:10,915
Oh, my God.
503
00:42:12,783 --> 00:42:14,084
All for me?
504
00:42:23,260 --> 00:42:24,260
Nick.
505
00:42:26,897 --> 00:42:28,098
Coach.
506
00:42:30,034 --> 00:42:31,769
Long time, no see. What's up?
507
00:42:32,369 --> 00:42:33,737
Um...
508
00:42:35,773 --> 00:42:38,142
Look, I have...
I have a fight coming up.
509
00:42:39,977 --> 00:42:42,246
I was wondering if
you would work my corner.
510
00:42:46,317 --> 00:42:48,018
I don't work with quitters, kid.
511
00:42:52,056 --> 00:42:54,225
- Coach, this-this fight...
- I can't do it.
512
00:42:56,260 --> 00:42:57,962
My time's too valuable.
513
00:42:59,997 --> 00:43:01,232
Good luck.
514
00:43:13,277 --> 00:43:17,414
It's time for our next contest.
515
00:43:17,448 --> 00:43:22,186
Introducing first,
fighting out of the red corner,
516
00:43:22,219 --> 00:43:27,258
with a record of six wins
and zero losses,
517
00:43:27,291 --> 00:43:28,993
please welcome
518
00:43:29,026 --> 00:43:34,498
Matt "The Beast" Bartunek.
519
00:43:36,233 --> 00:43:41,472
And in the blue corner,
fighting for the first time,
520
00:43:41,505 --> 00:43:46,944
please welcome
Notorious Nick Newell.
521
00:43:48,245 --> 00:43:49,947
Notorious.
522
00:43:51,448 --> 00:43:52,549
To the center, gentlemen.
523
00:43:56,020 --> 00:43:59,456
Now, remember,
protect yourself at all times.
524
00:43:59,490 --> 00:44:02,326
If you don't have any questions,
just touch gloves. Good luck.
525
00:44:09,633 --> 00:44:10,901
Are you ready?
526
00:44:12,336 --> 00:44:13,504
Are you ready?
527
00:44:15,139 --> 00:44:16,807
And fight.
528
00:44:28,018 --> 00:44:29,018
Nick.
529
00:44:40,297 --> 00:44:41,865
Wrestle, dammit.
530
00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:15,399
Tap! Tap!
531
00:45:15,432 --> 00:45:18,302
That's it, that's it.
532
00:45:38,055 --> 00:45:39,556
How is he?
533
00:45:39,590 --> 00:45:41,325
He's a very lucky man.
534
00:45:41,358 --> 00:45:44,061
If you start getting headaches
or feeling nauseous,
535
00:45:44,094 --> 00:45:46,397
you need to see
a doctor immediately.
536
00:45:46,430 --> 00:45:49,099
- Understand?
- He understands.
537
00:46:00,077 --> 00:46:02,613
I didn't know.
538
00:46:02,646 --> 00:46:05,182
- Know what?
- I didn't know how brutal this sport is.
539
00:46:05,215 --> 00:46:08,285
I can't watch you
take another beatdown like that.
540
00:46:08,318 --> 00:46:10,154
What does that mean?
541
00:46:10,187 --> 00:46:12,089
It means that you
cannot fight again
542
00:46:12,122 --> 00:46:13,624
or you're gonna
get seriously hurt.
543
00:46:14,525 --> 00:46:16,093
I'll be fine, I promise.
544
00:46:16,126 --> 00:46:18,228
You cannot promise me
that about this.
545
00:46:18,262 --> 00:46:20,340
You can't promise me that you're
not gonna end up in a hospital,
546
00:46:20,364 --> 00:46:22,199
brain dead
with tubes keeping you alive.
547
00:46:22,232 --> 00:46:24,635
- You're being overly dramatic.
- Am I?
548
00:46:24,669 --> 00:46:27,237
You always told me that I could
be anything I put my mind to.
549
00:46:27,271 --> 00:46:28,515
That doesn't mean
that you're superhuman,
550
00:46:28,539 --> 00:46:31,041
and that you're not
gonna get seriously hurt!
551
00:46:31,074 --> 00:46:34,411
You need to quit
before that ends up happening.
552
00:46:37,214 --> 00:46:38,659
I can't believe
you're telling me to quit.
553
00:46:38,683 --> 00:46:40,317
Listen to me.
554
00:46:40,350 --> 00:46:42,619
Listen to me.
555
00:46:42,654 --> 00:46:45,766
I have always told you that I would be honest
with you no matter how much it hurts you,
556
00:46:45,790 --> 00:46:50,227
and you cannot make a career
of this sport Nick. You cannot.
557
00:46:50,260 --> 00:46:52,129
I don't need to hear that
from you right now.
558
00:46:54,364 --> 00:46:55,999
I've heard that shit
my entire life,
559
00:46:56,033 --> 00:46:57,669
I don't need to
hear it from you!
560
00:46:58,569 --> 00:47:00,137
Well, you just did.
561
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:28,031
Coach.
562
00:47:31,736 --> 00:47:33,537
I thought I might find you here.
563
00:47:43,580 --> 00:47:45,349
I saw your fight
the other night.
564
00:47:47,484 --> 00:47:48,686
You shoulda won.
565
00:47:50,755 --> 00:47:52,589
Instead, you fought stupid
with anger
566
00:47:52,623 --> 00:47:56,193
and let your emotions
get the better of you.
567
00:48:04,501 --> 00:48:06,136
Anything else?
568
00:48:06,169 --> 00:48:08,071
You went toe-to-toe
with a puncher.
569
00:48:09,306 --> 00:48:11,843
Played right into his strength
570
00:48:11,876 --> 00:48:15,312
instead of exploiting his
weakness, which was wrestling.
571
00:48:19,616 --> 00:48:21,753
Did I do anything right?
572
00:48:21,786 --> 00:48:26,758
Yeah,
you showed unbelievable heart.
573
00:48:29,126 --> 00:48:33,230
That can't be learned.
You either have it or you don't.
574
00:48:33,263 --> 00:48:35,599
You have it in spades, kid.
575
00:48:40,404 --> 00:48:43,173
I should have never quit on you.
576
00:48:43,206 --> 00:48:44,508
You know, you didn't quit on me,
577
00:48:44,541 --> 00:48:47,110
you quit on yourself,
you quit on the team.
578
00:48:47,144 --> 00:48:49,246
I didn't think
I was good enough.
579
00:48:49,279 --> 00:48:51,214
What makes you think
you're good enough now?
580
00:48:52,784 --> 00:48:54,618
Because Abi thought so.
581
00:48:58,823 --> 00:49:00,357
It's okay to grieve, kid.
582
00:49:02,827 --> 00:49:06,764
Grieving leaves scars that
each wears as a badge of honor.
583
00:49:08,165 --> 00:49:10,868
It means you love someone.
584
00:49:10,902 --> 00:49:13,270
And take it from me,
the mourning will never stop.
585
00:49:13,303 --> 00:49:15,372
And you should never want it to.
586
00:49:15,405 --> 00:49:17,374
I wanted to win
the fight for him.
587
00:49:19,610 --> 00:49:22,179
You don't honor Abi
by winning a fight.
588
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,248
Win the fights for yourself.
589
00:49:32,657 --> 00:49:36,761
You're gonna have to listen to what I
say, and trust me.
590
00:49:39,196 --> 00:49:40,832
You saying
you're going to train me?
591
00:49:50,675 --> 00:49:51,709
Coach...
592
00:49:54,846 --> 00:49:56,480
I need to do this.
593
00:49:58,950 --> 00:50:01,652
You know I don't know shit
about mixed martial arts.
594
00:50:07,692 --> 00:50:09,559
Does it look like I do?
595
00:50:12,496 --> 00:50:17,267
No, no. We're going to learn.
596
00:50:45,529 --> 00:50:47,497
Alright, all the way down.
597
00:50:47,531 --> 00:50:48,833
All the way down.
598
00:50:51,035 --> 00:50:52,302
Alright, that's good.
599
00:50:52,335 --> 00:50:54,371
Come on, come on, come on!
One more.
600
00:50:54,404 --> 00:50:58,642
Push, push. You can do it.
601
00:50:58,676 --> 00:51:00,610
Oh, your new
sparring partner's here.
602
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:22,033
He's pretty square
on his opponent.
603
00:51:22,066 --> 00:51:24,267
See this guy? This guy, too,
is dominating, right?
604
00:51:24,301 --> 00:51:27,270
Look how this guy backs up...
then he sneaks by.
605
00:51:27,304 --> 00:51:29,506
But now he-he seems like he's...
606
00:51:29,539 --> 00:51:31,641
- Certainly being the aggressor.
- Right.
607
00:51:46,958 --> 00:51:48,059
Alright, Nick.
608
00:51:48,092 --> 00:51:49,026
Nick, we made it, man.
609
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:51,963
We made it.
We are here, fight number one.
610
00:51:51,996 --> 00:51:54,832
Alright, prove you belong.
Prove you belong!
611
00:52:00,738 --> 00:52:01,973
Fighter, are you ready?
612
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,440
Fighter, are you ready?
613
00:52:05,342 --> 00:52:06,343
Fight.
614
00:52:19,090 --> 00:52:20,524
Get out of there,
get out of there!
615
00:52:33,436 --> 00:52:34,806
You got it. You got him.
Hold him!
616
00:52:42,379 --> 00:52:44,882
Oh, oh! Whoa! Whoo!
617
00:52:50,620 --> 00:52:52,657
KO! KO, KO, KO!
618
00:53:05,602 --> 00:53:06,771
Jab! Give me a pop up.
619
00:53:06,804 --> 00:53:07,905
Give me a pop up. There.
620
00:53:31,494 --> 00:53:32,529
There, Nick...
621
00:53:46,844 --> 00:53:47,844
Alright, here we go.
622
00:53:51,514 --> 00:53:52,950
He doesn't look that tough.
623
00:54:22,179 --> 00:54:25,683
Yeah, yeah! Hell, yeah! Whoo!
624
00:54:26,784 --> 00:54:28,551
I guess looks can be deceiving.
625
00:54:34,926 --> 00:54:36,426
Rich, hey.
626
00:54:37,128 --> 00:54:38,128
It's Nick.
627
00:54:39,196 --> 00:54:41,666
Hey, Rich.
628
00:54:41,699 --> 00:54:43,968
I just wanted to, uh,
congratulate you on your win.
629
00:54:44,001 --> 00:54:45,435
Hey, thanks, man.
630
00:54:50,507 --> 00:54:52,109
It's gonna be
a real honor to fight you.
631
00:54:54,644 --> 00:54:57,447
Fight me? Fat chance.
632
00:54:58,749 --> 00:55:00,017
What do you mean?
633
00:55:00,051 --> 00:55:02,619
Nick's ranked number one,
he's your mandatory.
634
00:55:03,988 --> 00:55:05,756
I don't give a shit.
635
00:55:05,790 --> 00:55:08,225
I'm a legitimate fighter,
not a publicity stunt.
636
00:55:08,259 --> 00:55:10,161
Who the hell are you
calling a publicity stunt?
637
00:55:10,194 --> 00:55:12,997
I can't even
take you serious, little boy.
638
00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:15,632
Look, how do we benefit
in either case?
639
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:17,068
- It's a lose-lose.
- Right.
640
00:55:17,101 --> 00:55:20,637
If we beat you, then Rich
beat a one-handed fighter.
641
00:55:20,671 --> 00:55:22,139
And if he loses...
642
00:55:22,173 --> 00:55:24,641
then he lost
to a one-handed fighter.
643
00:55:24,675 --> 00:55:26,010
Pretty much.
644
00:55:26,043 --> 00:55:27,878
Look, I earned my way here.
645
00:55:27,912 --> 00:55:29,512
Sure, you did.
646
00:55:29,546 --> 00:55:31,248
The hell
is that supposed to mean?
647
00:55:31,282 --> 00:55:33,550
C'mon, man, everybody knows
that promoters
648
00:55:33,583 --> 00:55:36,519
use you to draw big crowds
and match you up with bums.
649
00:55:36,553 --> 00:55:37,553
It's no secret.
650
00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:41,591
Okay, if you're so sure
then take the fight.
651
00:55:44,128 --> 00:55:45,696
You don't seem to get it do you.
652
00:55:46,563 --> 00:55:49,266
You're a sideshow,
a marketing ploy.
653
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:51,035
You're giving
real fighters a bad name.
654
00:55:51,068 --> 00:55:53,146
- This sideshow's about to beat your ass!
- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
655
00:55:53,170 --> 00:55:54,739
Alright,
we're not taking the bait,
656
00:55:54,772 --> 00:55:55,782
and we are not taking the fight.
657
00:55:55,806 --> 00:55:58,075
Now you guys need to
get out of here right now.
658
00:55:58,109 --> 00:55:59,143
Now!
659
00:55:59,176 --> 00:56:00,745
This isn't over.
660
00:56:00,778 --> 00:56:02,880
We're going to take this
to the XFC!
661
00:56:02,913 --> 00:56:04,048
Yeah, yeah, good luck.
662
00:56:04,081 --> 00:56:05,648
Come on, let's go!
Come on, Nick.
663
00:56:05,683 --> 00:56:07,685
Go! Get the hell out of here.
664
00:56:08,352 --> 00:56:10,553
Nice meeting you.
665
00:56:18,696 --> 00:56:19,764
Hey, guy.
666
00:56:19,797 --> 00:56:22,199
Hey, uh, I got some bad news.
667
00:56:22,233 --> 00:56:25,269
Uh, XFC has
a new sanctioning board
668
00:56:25,302 --> 00:56:27,204
and after looking at
our application
669
00:56:27,238 --> 00:56:31,075
they've, uh, announced they're
not going to sanction a fight.
670
00:56:32,710 --> 00:56:33,677
What?
671
00:56:33,711 --> 00:56:36,847
Yeah, yeah, they're denying
your right to fight.
672
00:56:40,251 --> 00:56:42,820
No, no. They can't...
they can't do that.
673
00:56:42,853 --> 00:56:44,131
- I know.
- Look, I earned my way here.
674
00:56:44,155 --> 00:56:45,332
- You did.
- They cannot do that.
675
00:56:45,356 --> 00:56:46,257
You did, I know.
676
00:56:46,290 --> 00:56:48,659
Let's-let's step over here
and talk about it.
677
00:56:56,633 --> 00:56:58,135
I mean, what the hell
is the point
678
00:56:58,169 --> 00:56:59,713
of having rankings if they're
not going to honor them?
679
00:56:59,737 --> 00:57:01,739
I understand, okay.
Let's-let's stay calm
680
00:57:01,772 --> 00:57:03,274
and try to think this through.
681
00:57:03,307 --> 00:57:05,743
Nick's a contender
for the title, this is his shot.
682
00:57:05,776 --> 00:57:07,978
Of course it is, alright,
no one's doubting that,
683
00:57:08,012 --> 00:57:09,880
it's just this is
a new sanctioning board
684
00:57:09,914 --> 00:57:13,084
and they've been told
a different story.
685
00:57:13,117 --> 00:57:15,853
They just think the XFC has been
using Nick as a publicity stunt.
686
00:57:15,886 --> 00:57:18,222
- Man, this is such bullshit.
- Of course it is.
687
00:57:18,255 --> 00:57:22,326
You beat legitimate guys:
Maze, Butler, you whipped them.
688
00:57:22,359 --> 00:57:25,696
Okay, then why?
Why can't I fight?
689
00:57:25,729 --> 00:57:28,065
They're just afraid
that if these rumors go public
690
00:57:28,099 --> 00:57:31,135
and you get hurt during a fight,
then their credibility is shot,
691
00:57:31,168 --> 00:57:33,938
not to mention
lawsuits up the ass.
692
00:57:33,971 --> 00:57:35,673
What can we do?
693
00:57:35,706 --> 00:57:37,775
Well, you can petition
the board, ask for a hearing.
694
00:57:37,808 --> 00:57:39,043
Stand up for yourself.
695
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,851
Gentlemen,
welcome to our XFC board.
696
00:57:46,884 --> 00:57:47,985
Please, have a seat.
697
00:57:52,022 --> 00:57:55,893
We, uh...
we have sworn testimony
698
00:57:55,926 --> 00:57:59,897
from Nick's last three opponents
that those fights were legit.
699
00:57:59,930 --> 00:58:02,199
Nick won them fair and square
700
00:58:02,233 --> 00:58:05,002
no matter what you might
have heard. Here.
701
00:58:06,971 --> 00:58:08,281
What incentive
would these fighters
702
00:58:08,305 --> 00:58:09,940
have to say
anything differently?
703
00:58:09,974 --> 00:58:11,408
It would ruin their reputations.
704
00:58:11,442 --> 00:58:13,077
Wait, so you think
they're lying?
705
00:58:13,110 --> 00:58:15,880
Mr. Newell,
wait your turn, please.
706
00:58:15,913 --> 00:58:18,315
No, I'm not gonna wait my turn.
707
00:58:18,349 --> 00:58:20,751
You guys
are messing with my career.
708
00:58:20,784 --> 00:58:22,028
You're taking away
my livelihood.
709
00:58:22,052 --> 00:58:23,020
I am the one
that has to live with
710
00:58:23,053 --> 00:58:25,890
the consequences
of your decisions, not you.
711
00:58:27,124 --> 00:58:28,359
I want to be heard.
712
00:58:30,794 --> 00:58:31,829
Go ahead, Mr. Newell.
713
00:58:35,833 --> 00:58:37,701
Hi.
714
00:58:39,336 --> 00:58:41,939
Nick, I, um...
715
00:58:41,972 --> 00:58:44,808
Hi gentlemen, I'm Stacey Newell,
Nick's mother.
716
00:58:44,842 --> 00:58:46,810
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Newell.
717
00:58:47,511 --> 00:58:49,146
Ms. Newell.
718
00:58:49,180 --> 00:58:51,048
Sorry, Ms. Please continue.
719
00:58:52,316 --> 00:58:54,018
Robert M. Hensel once said
720
00:58:54,051 --> 00:58:55,395
that we the ones
who are challenged
721
00:58:55,419 --> 00:58:58,923
need to be heard, to be seen.
722
00:58:58,956 --> 00:59:03,994
Not as a disability, but as a person
who has and will continue to grow.
723
00:59:04,028 --> 00:59:10,334
To be seen not as a handicap,
but as a well intact human being.
724
00:59:11,902 --> 00:59:14,872
Ma'am, I'm not sure
we understand what you mean.
725
00:59:14,905 --> 00:59:17,007
It means that if he had
two good hands
726
00:59:17,041 --> 00:59:19,343
would we be
even having this hearing?
727
00:59:19,376 --> 00:59:21,879
The first priority
is the safety of our fighters.
728
00:59:21,912 --> 00:59:24,215
I appreciate that, I do.
729
00:59:24,248 --> 00:59:28,385
And no one is more concerned
about Nick's health than I am.
730
00:59:28,419 --> 00:59:30,354
I must admit,
there's a small part of me
731
00:59:30,387 --> 00:59:32,823
that wants you
to deny him his license,
732
00:59:33,991 --> 00:59:35,960
but that is a mother speaking.
733
00:59:35,993 --> 00:59:39,396
And I forget that he
is no longer a little boy
734
00:59:39,430 --> 00:59:43,133
struggling with a disability,
but a man who has overcome it.
735
00:59:44,902 --> 00:59:48,138
Nick has the right to live
the life he wants to live
736
00:59:48,172 --> 00:59:50,374
and to have the career
he wants to pursue.
737
00:59:50,407 --> 00:59:53,877
Especially since he's proven
that he can handle it.
738
00:59:56,547 --> 01:00:00,150
We appreciate your input and it will
be noted. Thank you, Ms. Newell.
739
01:00:00,184 --> 01:00:05,289
Excuse me... you might be surprised
how many supporters Nick has.
740
01:00:07,091 --> 01:00:09,059
And how much press
a one-armed fighter could get
741
01:00:09,093 --> 01:00:12,896
if he's being denied his dreams and
told that he can't fight anymore.
742
01:00:12,930 --> 01:00:17,067
I'm sure that there are countless news
outlets, social media, TV, newspapers,
743
01:00:17,101 --> 01:00:18,969
that would really love to
hear this story.
744
01:00:20,237 --> 01:00:22,006
Let's not make threats now.
745
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:24,908
I'm not making threats,
I'm making promises.
746
01:00:26,243 --> 01:00:28,078
Thank you, Ms. Newell,
747
01:00:28,112 --> 01:00:30,247
we will take this
under advisement.
748
01:00:31,849 --> 01:00:33,550
Let's go. Let's go.
749
01:00:43,927 --> 01:00:45,896
Hey, Vito, how are you doing?
750
01:00:45,929 --> 01:00:47,464
Alex.
751
01:00:47,498 --> 01:00:49,042
It's good to see you,
it's been a while.
752
01:00:49,066 --> 01:00:52,102
- Good to see you, too.
- Yeah, can we talk?
753
01:00:53,370 --> 01:00:55,205
Chris, could you
give us a moment?
754
01:00:57,074 --> 01:01:00,110
Thanks, man.
It's about Nick Newell.
755
01:01:00,144 --> 01:01:02,446
I figured that.
756
01:01:02,479 --> 01:01:05,382
You need to know
that this kid's the real deal.
757
01:01:05,416 --> 01:01:10,220
Every fighter that he's taken on
has been legit, and he has not lost.
758
01:01:10,254 --> 01:01:11,522
I don't know if he's gonna.
759
01:01:12,890 --> 01:01:15,993
Alright? He won't let you down,
760
01:01:16,026 --> 01:01:18,829
I'm not sure he's gonna
disappoint anybody ever.
761
01:01:20,898 --> 01:01:26,537
Look, I just... I need you
to do me this favor, that's all.
762
01:01:26,570 --> 01:01:30,274
I've never asked you
for anything, you know that.
763
01:01:30,307 --> 01:01:33,010
- Ever.
- Alex, I appreciate it.
764
01:01:33,043 --> 01:01:36,347
I really do.
Let me see what I can do.
765
01:01:37,548 --> 01:01:38,548
Alright.
766
01:01:40,050 --> 01:01:42,619
- Hey, Alex?
- Yeah?
767
01:01:43,420 --> 01:01:44,656
Do me a favor,
768
01:01:44,689 --> 01:01:46,957
have your people
keep a lid on this
769
01:01:46,990 --> 01:01:48,392
until we sort things out.
770
01:01:51,261 --> 01:01:52,896
I'll see what I can do.
771
01:02:10,614 --> 01:02:14,284
Okay. You guys good?
772
01:02:14,952 --> 01:02:16,053
Yeah.
773
01:02:16,086 --> 01:02:17,588
Okay.
774
01:02:17,621 --> 01:02:18,922
Alright, what are they...
775
01:02:18,956 --> 01:02:20,033
- Still haven't called.
- No? Okay.
776
01:02:20,057 --> 01:02:20,725
That's okay.
777
01:02:20,759 --> 01:02:22,694
They get busy you know, it's...
778
01:02:22,727 --> 01:02:25,028
- They're gonna call. What time is it?
- Yeah.
779
01:02:25,062 --> 01:02:27,598
It's a little after 2:00.
780
01:02:27,631 --> 01:02:28,631
Nick.
781
01:02:30,234 --> 01:02:31,268
Pick it up.
782
01:02:36,306 --> 01:02:37,441
Hello?
783
01:02:39,643 --> 01:02:41,445
Yeah, yeah, this is him.
784
01:02:48,285 --> 01:02:49,353
I understand.
785
01:02:52,589 --> 01:02:54,925
And that's your final decision?
786
01:03:00,130 --> 01:03:01,198
Okay.
787
01:03:03,133 --> 01:03:08,005
Alright, yeah. Okay. You too.
788
01:03:14,746 --> 01:03:15,746
Well?
789
01:03:18,015 --> 01:03:19,383
I'm gonna fight.
790
01:03:19,416 --> 01:03:22,619
Oh, you got me.
791
01:03:25,222 --> 01:03:26,523
You got me.
792
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,464
- Oh, my gosh.
- We've got to get to work right away, hm?
793
01:03:33,497 --> 01:03:35,399
- Yeah.
- Look familiar?
794
01:03:39,603 --> 01:03:41,238
Go say something.
795
01:03:51,816 --> 01:03:52,983
Excuse me.
796
01:03:54,651 --> 01:03:56,386
You're Notorious Nick Newell!
797
01:03:58,222 --> 01:04:00,324
Yeah, so I've been told.
798
01:04:00,357 --> 01:04:01,358
What's your name?
799
01:04:01,391 --> 01:04:02,794
I'm Eli.
800
01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:05,195
Eli.
Well, nice to meet you, Eli.
801
01:04:05,229 --> 01:04:06,396
Nice to meet you, too.
802
01:04:07,531 --> 01:04:09,667
Look, Eli...
803
01:04:11,335 --> 01:04:12,670
I'm fighting
for the championship.
804
01:04:12,704 --> 01:04:16,006
- Wow.
- Yeah, it's pretty cool, right?
805
01:04:17,341 --> 01:04:20,177
- Wanna come to a fight?
- Mom can I?
806
01:04:20,210 --> 01:04:21,278
Yes.
807
01:04:21,311 --> 01:04:22,479
Awesome.
808
01:04:23,614 --> 01:04:25,315
You do any fighting yourself?
809
01:04:25,349 --> 01:04:28,051
- Nah, I'm a baseball pitcher.
- Okay, cool.
810
01:04:28,085 --> 01:04:29,586
But I'm not a very good one.
811
01:04:30,621 --> 01:04:31,723
Yeah? Why is that?
812
01:04:31,756 --> 01:04:33,725
Is something
wrong with your eyes?
813
01:04:38,796 --> 01:04:40,564
Do you love baseball, Eli?
814
01:04:41,398 --> 01:04:43,100
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
815
01:04:43,835 --> 01:04:45,202
Then stick with it.
816
01:04:46,838 --> 01:04:50,340
You know, someone once told me
that if you love something
817
01:04:50,374 --> 01:04:51,618
you may have to work
twice as hard
818
01:04:51,642 --> 01:04:54,746
as everyone else,
but it's worth it.
819
01:04:56,613 --> 01:04:57,614
Don't you ever give up.
820
01:04:59,449 --> 01:05:01,184
I believe in you.
821
01:05:02,152 --> 01:05:03,186
Alright?
822
01:05:04,154 --> 01:05:05,289
Alright.
823
01:05:05,322 --> 01:05:06,432
It was nice to meet you guys.
824
01:05:06,456 --> 01:05:07,500
I'll see you at the fight, okay.
825
01:05:07,524 --> 01:05:08,764
- I'll see you there.
- Alright.
826
01:05:15,499 --> 01:05:18,502
Yeah! Up, up, up, up.
827
01:05:18,535 --> 01:05:19,837
Pull, pull, pull.
828
01:05:19,871 --> 01:05:21,381
Do you want it?
You've got to take it, man.
829
01:05:21,405 --> 01:05:22,372
You've got to take it.
830
01:05:22,406 --> 01:05:24,107
Stay active.
831
01:05:24,141 --> 01:05:25,642
Keep working, keep working.
832
01:05:26,811 --> 01:05:28,211
Grind!
833
01:05:30,414 --> 01:05:33,785
Yep, yep, yep. Yep.
834
01:05:33,818 --> 01:05:36,119
Alright. Alright, alright,
settle, settle.
835
01:05:37,387 --> 01:05:38,522
No worries.
836
01:05:38,555 --> 01:05:40,825
Just stay calm, breathe easy.
837
01:05:40,858 --> 01:05:44,561
What's our transition?
Our transition.
838
01:05:44,595 --> 01:05:46,898
We need to transition
into omoplata. Alright?
839
01:05:46,931 --> 01:05:48,298
Yeah.
840
01:05:48,332 --> 01:05:49,572
Okay, alright, let me show you.
841
01:05:51,435 --> 01:05:52,770
Alright, come here.
842
01:05:54,806 --> 01:05:57,174
Alright, so you've got him
in a triangle.
843
01:05:57,207 --> 01:05:59,376
- Yeah.
- Huh, lock your arm back here.
844
01:05:59,409 --> 01:06:03,347
Alright, so if you can't finish
the triangle past your left leg,
845
01:06:03,380 --> 01:06:06,216
over his head like this.
Sit up in omoplata.
846
01:06:06,249 --> 01:06:08,418
- Huh? Now he's done.
- Just crank right there?
847
01:06:08,452 --> 01:06:10,855
Yup, right here. You got it?
848
01:06:10,888 --> 01:06:12,556
Questions, comments, concerns?
849
01:06:12,589 --> 01:06:13,825
No.
850
01:06:13,858 --> 01:06:15,192
Your turn.
851
01:06:19,563 --> 01:06:21,666
- Okay, there's triangle.
- Yup, triangle.
852
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,670
- So when he goes to defend it...
- Uh-huh.
853
01:06:26,738 --> 01:06:28,305
Trap the arm.
854
01:06:29,707 --> 01:06:31,308
Yes, that's it.
855
01:06:31,341 --> 01:06:33,377
Yep, you got it, great job.
856
01:06:33,410 --> 01:06:36,580
You got it.
That's good. Nice job.
857
01:07:36,808 --> 01:07:39,342
Elbow, hook, elbow, hook.
858
01:07:39,376 --> 01:07:41,311
Elbow, hook. Elbow, hook.
859
01:07:41,344 --> 01:07:43,881
Alright. Okay, that's it.
860
01:07:44,749 --> 01:07:45,749
Alright, take a seat.
861
01:07:46,884 --> 01:07:48,452
Alright, listen to me.
862
01:07:49,586 --> 01:07:51,354
You need to have
patience tonight.
863
01:07:51,388 --> 01:07:52,622
Believe in the game plan.
864
01:07:52,657 --> 01:07:54,391
Don't blow all your energy
865
01:07:54,424 --> 01:07:56,027
in one big adrenaline dump.
866
01:07:56,060 --> 01:07:57,829
Trust that you did
all you could do
867
01:07:57,862 --> 01:08:00,430
to get ready
for this fight. Huh?
868
01:08:00,464 --> 01:08:03,467
And I want you to know,
that no matter what happens tonight,
869
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:04,769
I couldn't be prouder of you.
870
01:08:06,738 --> 01:08:08,505
Questions, comments, concerns?
871
01:08:11,441 --> 01:08:12,777
Thank you, Coach.
872
01:08:14,611 --> 01:08:16,246
Thank you for everything.
873
01:08:33,396 --> 01:08:36,968
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I'm the champ!
874
01:08:37,001 --> 01:08:38,635
I'm the champ, it's my time!
875
01:08:38,669 --> 01:08:41,973
Let's go! Whoo! Yeah!
Hell, yeah!
876
01:08:56,620 --> 01:08:58,288
I fear no man.
877
01:09:01,692 --> 01:09:03,460
No beast or evil.
878
01:09:18,776 --> 01:09:20,044
It's time, Nick.
879
01:09:37,128 --> 01:09:39,429
It's a big night
at the XFC arena,
880
01:09:39,462 --> 01:09:42,033
as Nick Newell facing off
against Rich Reynolds
881
01:09:42,066 --> 01:09:43,768
for the lightweight
championship belt.
882
01:09:43,801 --> 01:09:45,045
Yeah, this should be
a great one.
883
01:09:45,069 --> 01:09:49,040
Newell is talented,
but Reynolds is an animal.
884
01:09:49,073 --> 01:09:52,143
He might be a little bit too polished
and experienced though for Newell.
885
01:09:52,176 --> 01:09:54,979
Well, we'll see, it's a championship
match that means five rounds.
886
01:09:55,012 --> 01:09:56,948
Yeah, and Newell
is a big underdog in this one.
887
01:09:56,981 --> 01:09:59,884
Most experts think that he won't
even make it out of that first round.
888
01:10:23,107 --> 01:10:24,541
Hey, it's time.
889
01:10:55,907 --> 01:10:57,675
Mom, Mom, there he is!
890
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:16,961
Tape.
891
01:11:22,166 --> 01:11:25,836
Cup. Mouthpiece.
Extra mouthpiece.
892
01:11:32,910 --> 01:11:33,910
You understand the rules?
893
01:11:34,979 --> 01:11:36,113
Have a good fight.
894
01:12:12,950 --> 01:12:15,920
Ladies and gentlemen,
895
01:12:15,953 --> 01:12:21,558
welcome to the XFC
World Championship Event.
896
01:12:21,591 --> 01:12:25,628
And now the moment
you have all been waiting for.
897
01:12:25,663 --> 01:12:30,600
With a professional record
of eight wins, no losses,
898
01:12:30,633 --> 01:12:35,773
the Notorious Nick Newell.
899
01:12:40,211 --> 01:12:42,612
And from the other corner,
900
01:12:42,645 --> 01:12:46,050
the XFC's Lightweight Champion
of the World,
901
01:12:46,083 --> 01:12:49,820
with an undefeated record
of 16-0,
902
01:12:49,854 --> 01:12:53,691
it's Rich "It's a Wrap"
Reynolds.
903
01:12:59,864 --> 01:13:01,165
- You ready?
- Yeah.
904
01:13:01,198 --> 01:13:02,632
Have a good fight.
905
01:13:03,701 --> 01:13:04,701
You ready?
906
01:13:05,269 --> 01:13:06,670
Have a good fight.
907
01:13:22,787 --> 01:13:25,322
Okay, guys, let's have
a good clean fight.
908
01:13:25,356 --> 01:13:27,992
Tap gloves, and go back
to your corners.
909
01:13:28,025 --> 01:13:30,261
Let me show you what
a real fighter's about, chump.
910
01:13:31,128 --> 01:13:32,163
Hey.
911
01:13:32,196 --> 01:13:34,597
Oh, no love loss
between these two.
912
01:13:34,631 --> 01:13:36,734
The crowd is really
looking forward to this fight.
913
01:13:36,767 --> 01:13:38,278
I just hope Newell
can hang in there long enough
914
01:13:38,302 --> 01:13:39,582
to give them
their money's worth.
915
01:14:07,298 --> 01:14:09,300
Remember, patience, Nick.
916
01:14:09,333 --> 01:14:11,235
Stay clear of his right hand.
Wear him out!
917
01:14:16,373 --> 01:14:17,607
You ready?
918
01:14:18,275 --> 01:14:19,910
You ready?
919
01:14:19,944 --> 01:14:21,644
Fight.
920
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,429
Wow, Newell in trouble
almost immediately.
921
01:14:38,462 --> 01:14:40,865
One clean blow from Reynolds,
and this could be the end.
922
01:14:48,372 --> 01:14:50,808
Don't panic!
Remember what we practiced!
923
01:15:37,855 --> 01:15:40,224
Break it up, break it up. Break it up.
924
01:15:45,763 --> 01:15:48,866
Nick. Nick, Nick.
925
01:15:48,899 --> 01:15:51,268
Play our game,
don't play his game.
926
01:15:51,302 --> 01:15:52,870
You've got to
stay out of his reach
927
01:15:52,903 --> 01:15:54,004
until he throws a punch,
928
01:15:54,038 --> 01:15:55,839
then go in
and hit him with a combo.
929
01:15:55,873 --> 01:15:57,875
Alright?
If he takes you down again,
930
01:15:57,908 --> 01:15:58,842
stay off your back!
931
01:15:58,876 --> 01:16:00,411
You're exerting too much energy.
932
01:16:00,444 --> 01:16:02,746
Newell looks spent
after just one round.
933
01:16:02,780 --> 01:16:05,091
Yeah, the champ is putting on
tremendous pressure on Newell.
934
01:16:05,115 --> 01:16:06,875
I'd be surprised to see
the end of round two.
935
01:16:22,933 --> 01:16:24,333
Ooh, a hard right
to Reynolds' head.
936
01:16:27,438 --> 01:16:29,873
Another right
to the champ's head!
937
01:16:41,952 --> 01:16:43,454
The champ is down!
938
01:16:43,487 --> 01:16:44,922
Take him down!
939
01:16:44,955 --> 01:16:46,090
Get off the ground, Richie!
940
01:16:47,958 --> 01:16:49,193
Come on, Nick!
941
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,250
It's over now, Reynolds has him
in his patented leg lock.
942
01:17:13,284 --> 01:17:16,220
Newell is gonna have to tap here or
he is in for some serious damage.
943
01:17:16,253 --> 01:17:17,921
Get out of it, Nick,
get out of it!
944
01:17:20,190 --> 01:17:21,558
You can do it, Nick!
945
01:17:21,592 --> 01:17:23,160
He's going to roll, Rich!
946
01:17:28,265 --> 01:17:30,968
Come on, come on, come on.
Hang tight, Nick, come on.
947
01:17:31,001 --> 01:17:33,137
The round's almost over.
Come on, hang on!
948
01:17:35,472 --> 01:17:37,107
Fifteen seconds!
949
01:17:41,645 --> 01:17:43,814
You got him.
You got him, just hold on.
950
01:17:54,892 --> 01:17:58,862
Newell is limping badly,
he's got 60 seconds to recover.
951
01:17:58,896 --> 01:18:00,336
Not sure that's gonna be
enough time.
952
01:18:10,641 --> 01:18:12,276
How's the leg, son?
953
01:18:14,111 --> 01:18:15,412
I'm good to go.
954
01:18:17,147 --> 01:18:18,515
Does that hurt?
955
01:18:20,150 --> 01:18:21,285
No.
956
01:18:23,153 --> 01:18:26,190
Alright. Good luck.
957
01:18:33,063 --> 01:18:35,165
I didn't come this far to lose.
958
01:18:39,203 --> 01:18:41,472
Just tell me if you can't go on.
959
01:18:43,708 --> 01:18:46,543
- I can win this.
- I believe you.
960
01:18:46,577 --> 01:18:49,113
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick...
961
01:18:49,146 --> 01:18:53,050
Hear that? They believe you, too.
962
01:19:05,996 --> 01:19:08,098
Well, we know who the crowd
is rooting for.
963
01:19:08,132 --> 01:19:10,577
Yeah, Newell had a hard time
getting sanctioned for this fight,
964
01:19:10,601 --> 01:19:15,105
but he's shown today that he is a
true warrior, no one can deny that.
965
01:19:15,139 --> 01:19:17,819
Yeah, no doubt, but I'm not sure
how much longer this can go on for.
966
01:19:49,540 --> 01:19:51,308
Wrestle, Nick, wrestle!
967
01:19:52,276 --> 01:19:54,378
Wrestle, goddammit!
968
01:20:08,258 --> 01:20:11,228
My God, Newell has Reynolds
in a rear naked choke!
969
01:20:11,261 --> 01:20:12,963
That came out of nowhere!
970
01:20:14,565 --> 01:20:16,099
Come on, Nick, you can do it!
971
01:20:18,435 --> 01:20:21,138
Hold on. Hold on!
972
01:20:23,173 --> 01:20:25,008
You've got him, Nick!
973
01:20:25,042 --> 01:20:27,144
Come on, come on, choke him out,
Nick, come on!
974
01:20:27,177 --> 01:20:30,113
He may have this,
Reynolds can't break the hold.
975
01:20:34,051 --> 01:20:35,753
He's done, you're done.
976
01:20:35,787 --> 01:20:39,022
That's it! The fight is over!
977
01:20:40,257 --> 01:20:42,292
Yeah!
978
01:20:43,060 --> 01:20:43,795
Ah!
979
01:20:43,828 --> 01:20:45,529
Yeah!
980
01:20:45,562 --> 01:20:48,632
Oh! Whoo!
981
01:20:51,736 --> 01:20:53,303
This is unbelievable!
982
01:20:53,337 --> 01:20:56,640
Newell won,
he actually won the fight!
983
01:21:04,816 --> 01:21:09,286
You've just witnessed one of the
greatest upsets in sports history!
984
01:21:09,854 --> 01:21:11,455
Oh, my God!
985
01:21:11,488 --> 01:21:14,358
Oh, my God! Oh, my...
986
01:21:14,391 --> 01:21:16,761
That's my son! That's my boy!
987
01:21:20,597 --> 01:21:22,533
Yes, yes, yes!
988
01:21:25,302 --> 01:21:29,439
Unbelievable!
There are no words to describe this!
989
01:21:33,610 --> 01:21:35,078
Mom, can I go?
990
01:21:36,346 --> 01:21:40,050
You did it! You did it!
Yes! Whoo!
991
01:22:01,138 --> 01:22:04,508
We did it. You did it, it's yours.
It's yours.
992
01:22:15,152 --> 01:22:16,253
Ladies and gentlemen,
993
01:22:16,286 --> 01:22:18,255
your new XFC champion,
994
01:22:18,288 --> 01:22:20,591
Notorious Nick Newell.
995
01:22:43,715 --> 01:22:45,415
Abi, we did it.
996
01:23:00,197 --> 01:23:03,367
I don't think my story is any
more special than anyone else.
997
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,737
You know, um, the truth is,
998
01:23:05,770 --> 01:23:08,405
you know, I am a one-handed guy
and I had these problems,
999
01:23:08,438 --> 01:23:10,340
and I had these obstacles,
and I overcame them
1000
01:23:10,374 --> 01:23:12,744
to become something and make
something out of myself.
1001
01:23:12,777 --> 01:23:15,512
His just... his internal drive.
1002
01:23:15,545 --> 01:23:17,414
He wanted to be the best,
1003
01:23:17,447 --> 01:23:19,650
he wanted to be...
He wanted to improve.
1004
01:23:19,684 --> 01:23:21,351
He fell in love with the sport.
1005
01:23:21,385 --> 01:23:22,930
Uh, I can remember
when he called me and said,
1006
01:23:22,954 --> 01:23:23,888
"Oh, I started training MMA,"
1007
01:23:23,921 --> 01:23:25,699
and I was like "What the...
What are you doing?"
1008
01:23:25,723 --> 01:23:28,291
It all actually happened.
It's not like he made it up.
1009
01:23:28,325 --> 01:23:30,360
You know, and if anybody
thinks it's fake,
1010
01:23:30,394 --> 01:23:32,462
they can come to Connecticut
and come to his gym
1011
01:23:32,496 --> 01:23:34,231
and look on the wall
and see the belt.
1012
01:23:34,264 --> 01:23:35,967
It is main event time.
1013
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,337
"Notorious" Nick Newell versus
"It's a Wrap" Eric Reynolds.
1014
01:23:40,370 --> 01:23:44,341
We are set for five rounds.
The championship at 155 pounds.
1015
01:23:44,374 --> 01:23:48,913
Southpaw start, as always,
for Notorious Nick Newell.
1016
01:23:48,946 --> 01:23:50,948
He starts off
with some solid leg kicks, Pat.
1017
01:23:50,982 --> 01:23:53,417
Newell said he worked a
lot on his kicks for this fight.
1018
01:23:54,886 --> 01:23:56,353
He'll try to muscle his way
1019
01:23:56,386 --> 01:23:58,355
and get Eric Reynolds
onto his back.
1020
01:23:58,388 --> 01:24:00,490
There's a high left round kick
from Nick Newell.
1021
01:24:00,524 --> 01:24:02,727
Overhand right from Newell
and Reynolds fires back
1022
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,327
with a right hand of his own.
1023
01:24:04,361 --> 01:24:05,863
High left round kick
from Newell.
1024
01:24:08,365 --> 01:24:10,968
Newell tries to
catch the kicking leg.
1025
01:24:11,002 --> 01:24:12,770
He's trying to lock onto
his arm there.
1026
01:24:12,804 --> 01:24:14,782
He's got it locked,
let's see what he does with it.
1027
01:24:14,806 --> 01:24:16,373
Come on, Nick!
1028
01:24:16,406 --> 01:24:18,442
Oh, suplex!
1029
01:24:18,475 --> 01:24:20,912
Oh, it's a back suplex there
from Nick Newell.
1030
01:24:20,945 --> 01:24:23,447
This is where Nick Newell
is so good.
1031
01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:25,582
There's the arm
under the chin now.
1032
01:24:25,615 --> 01:24:28,585
The hooks are in
for Notorious Nick Newell.
1033
01:24:28,618 --> 01:24:30,788
Is he on his way
to a world championship?
1034
01:24:30,822 --> 01:24:32,389
This is where it's an advantage
1035
01:24:32,422 --> 01:24:33,791
because he can't get
hand control
1036
01:24:33,825 --> 01:24:35,325
on that shorter arm.
1037
01:24:35,358 --> 01:24:36,798
He's pulling down
on the gloved hand,
1038
01:24:36,828 --> 01:24:38,261
but that's already trapped.
1039
01:24:38,295 --> 01:24:40,530
Reynolds in trouble!
1040
01:24:40,564 --> 01:24:41,875
- Reynolds taps out!
- That's it, that's it!
1041
01:24:41,899 --> 01:24:44,634
It's goodnight, Irene!
1042
01:24:44,669 --> 01:24:47,872
The fairy tale comes true!
1043
01:24:47,905 --> 01:24:50,808
Winner blue,
tap out, by rear naked choke.
1044
01:24:50,842 --> 01:24:55,278
Nick Newell is the XFC champion!
1045
01:24:55,312 --> 01:24:58,548
A standing ovation
here in Nashville!
1046
01:24:58,582 --> 01:24:59,784
Nice fight, brother.
1047
01:24:59,817 --> 01:25:02,019
That kid is happy.
1048
01:25:02,053 --> 01:25:04,689
Nashville
has gone into meltdown!
1049
01:25:04,722 --> 01:25:07,058
Nick Newell
has gone into ecstasy!
