00:00:54,939 --> 00:00:56,774
Are you ready?
3
00:00:56,807 --> 00:00:58,508
Are you ready?
4
00:01:01,610 --> 00:01:03,313
And fight.
5
00:01:50,593 --> 00:01:52,697
Tap! Tap!
6
00:01:52,729 --> 00:01:53,865
That's it. That's it.
7
00:02:09,781 --> 00:02:12,348
Let me see it. Give it to me.
8
00:02:15,118 --> 00:02:16,419
Give it!
9
00:02:16,987 --> 00:02:18,955
Leave him alone!
10
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:20,925
Hey, guys, look.
11
00:02:20,957 --> 00:02:22,926
- I got the freak's arm!
- Give it back!
12
00:02:34,771 --> 00:02:36,639
What's your name?
13
00:02:36,674 --> 00:02:38,608
Nick.
14
00:02:38,641 --> 00:02:41,078
My name's Abi.
You watch wrestling?
15
00:02:41,111 --> 00:02:42,947
Every Saturday morning.
16
00:02:42,979 --> 00:02:46,515
Me too. I watch it
every Saturday Morning, too.
17
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:49,086
- Even the reruns?
- Yeah. Who's your favorite?
18
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,620
Probably "The Bear Braun".
19
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:53,456
Cool.
20
00:02:53,490 --> 00:02:55,324
It's yours. You keep it.
21
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,062
Cool. Thanks.
22
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:02,894
- Hi.
- Hi.
23
00:04:02,926 --> 00:04:04,493
Is Nick here?
24
00:04:04,526 --> 00:04:06,496
- What's your name?
- Abi.
25
00:04:06,528 --> 00:04:09,866
Abi. Okay, um...
Nick, Abi's here!
26
00:04:09,901 --> 00:04:11,368
- I'll show you to his room.
- Alright.
27
00:04:19,776 --> 00:04:22,045
We must be twins.
28
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,915
I have those same posters.
29
00:04:24,949 --> 00:04:27,449
I'm the main event.
I never lose a bout!
30
00:04:27,483 --> 00:04:31,721
Here comes a sucka-sucka-sucker punch.
Lights out.
31
00:04:31,755 --> 00:04:35,557
I fear no man,
no beast, or evil brother.
32
00:04:35,591 --> 00:04:38,728
Awesome! My turn.
33
00:04:47,038 --> 00:04:50,572
When I grow up, I want to be
a professional wrestler.
34
00:04:50,606 --> 00:04:53,677
Have a big house.
Own four Harley's.
35
00:04:53,711 --> 00:04:56,079
Harley's? What's that?
36
00:04:56,112 --> 00:04:58,480
Only the greatest motorcycle
ever made.
37
00:04:58,514 --> 00:05:01,851
My dad promised
he'd buy me one when I turn 16.
38
00:05:01,886 --> 00:05:04,154
- What about your dad?
- What about him?
39
00:05:04,187 --> 00:05:06,723
- Where is he?
- Don't know.
40
00:05:06,757 --> 00:05:08,490
What do you mean you
"don't know"?
41
00:05:08,524 --> 00:05:10,827
He left when I was a baby.
42
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:13,197
Well, he sucks.
43
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:15,733
Yeah. He does.
44
00:05:21,872 --> 00:05:25,641
Sucka Punch Pinsky's
on the top apron and...
45
00:05:25,675 --> 00:05:27,509
pile drives an elbow
into his head.
46
00:05:27,543 --> 00:05:30,646
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Knock it off!
47
00:05:38,788 --> 00:05:43,927
Why don't you guys stop faking like
you wrestle, and do it for real, huh?
48
00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:21,064
A girl.
49
00:06:21,098 --> 00:06:23,233
You've got to be kidding me.
50
00:06:23,266 --> 00:06:24,968
Hey, Shelby, eat shit.
51
00:06:27,937 --> 00:06:30,007
Hey, what are you laughing at,
"Elbow"?
52
00:06:30,875 --> 00:06:31,975
His name is Nick.
53
00:06:32,009 --> 00:06:33,978
No, it ain't, it's Elbow.
54
00:06:34,011 --> 00:06:36,846
Alright, cut the crap.
55
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,615
Everybody gather around.
56
00:06:39,884 --> 00:06:41,685
Come on,
move it like you mean it.
57
00:06:41,718 --> 00:06:43,120
There you go. Come on, come on.
58
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:46,656
You, you, you, you,
let's do this.
59
00:06:46,689 --> 00:06:49,726
Come on, Elbow,
you better not lose to a girl.
60
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:52,295
You know what,
don't you worry about me, man.
61
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:54,665
Coach must know I'm the only
one that can handle the ladies.
62
00:06:58,369 --> 00:07:00,737
Holy crap! Oh, my God!
63
00:07:00,771 --> 00:07:03,274
Elbow just lost to a girl!
64
00:07:03,307 --> 00:07:05,875
Alright. Okay, alright.
65
00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:09,312
Let's, uh... Maybe we need to
go over some basics.
66
00:07:10,915 --> 00:07:12,016
You're not gonna quit.
67
00:07:13,651 --> 00:07:15,886
- Everybody laughed at me.
- So what?
68
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,288
- "So what?"
- So what?
69
00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:18,988
The kids already make fun of me
because of my arm,
70
00:07:19,023 --> 00:07:20,356
now I get beat
by a girl, I mean...
71
00:07:20,391 --> 00:07:22,625
Do you like wrestling?
72
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:25,028
- Yeah.
- Well, then you're gonna stick with it.
73
00:07:27,197 --> 00:07:31,935
Listen, if you don't believe in
yourself why would anybody else?
74
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:55,725
Holy shit, man!
Are you kidding me?
75
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:00,898
Man, this is a 1979
Harley Davidson Shovelhead.
76
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:03,033
This beauty has
a high performance engine
77
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:07,137
running 1,340 cc's
of pure aggression.
78
00:08:07,170 --> 00:08:10,173
S&S heads and carburetor,
all chrome parts,
79
00:08:10,206 --> 00:08:14,345
polished up with a two-tone metal flake
blue and green and a white pearl finish.
80
00:08:17,947 --> 00:08:20,016
I have no idea
what you just said.
81
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,086
Chicks dig bikes.
82
00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:26,956
Keep telling yourself that.
83
00:08:28,826 --> 00:08:31,127
Wait, is that jealousy I smell?
84
00:08:31,161 --> 00:08:34,097
Oh-oh, yes, it is, Nick,
and it's strong.
85
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:37,301
It's strong man.
86
00:08:37,334 --> 00:08:38,969
- Come on, we're going to be late.
- Yeah.
87
00:08:43,072 --> 00:08:46,210
Alright, there you go.
Take him down.
88
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:48,178
Take him down.
89
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,283
Keep active, keep active.
Active.
90
00:08:52,316 --> 00:08:53,884
Alright.
91
00:09:03,894 --> 00:09:06,230
Okay, okay, okay.
Good, Abi, good.
92
00:09:09,099 --> 00:09:10,000
Good, stand up.
93
00:09:16,173 --> 00:09:19,375
Nick. Nick.
94
00:09:19,409 --> 00:09:21,845
You can't let him
get position like that.
95
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:24,014
Okay, so here, let's do it.
96
00:09:24,048 --> 00:09:28,152
Alright, if he gets the leg,
then loop your arm like this.
97
00:09:28,184 --> 00:09:30,153
Punch the wizard, there.
98
00:09:30,187 --> 00:09:32,288
Now you've got leverage,
you can throw him over your leg.
99
00:09:34,057 --> 00:09:35,091
Got it?
100
00:09:35,125 --> 00:09:37,260
Questions, comments, concerns?
101
00:09:37,293 --> 00:09:39,929
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay. Alright, then try.
102
00:09:39,963 --> 00:09:40,998
Your turn, come on.
103
00:09:46,302 --> 00:09:49,405
There you go.
Yeah, there you go, alright.
104
00:09:51,075 --> 00:09:53,409
Loop your arm, loop your arm,
loop your arm!
105
00:09:53,443 --> 00:09:55,278
Faster, faster!
106
00:10:00,918 --> 00:10:02,019
Alright, good, Abi.
107
00:10:06,889 --> 00:10:10,394
Nick, do you know
what happened there?
108
00:10:10,427 --> 00:10:14,798
- Yeah, he kicked my ass.
- Good observation. Do you know why?
109
00:10:14,831 --> 00:10:16,332
That's the key
to getting better.
110
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:28,412
See how that works?
111
00:10:28,445 --> 00:10:30,413
Left arm behind the head.
112
00:10:30,447 --> 00:10:32,448
You only need your right-hand
to pull this off.
113
00:10:33,917 --> 00:10:35,152
Alright, it's your turn.
114
00:10:46,529 --> 00:10:47,498
Not bad.
115
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,349
Alright, guys,
come on, huddle up.
116
00:11:38,381 --> 00:11:39,549
Come on, move it.
117
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:44,120
Remember, every point counts,
stay off your backs.
118
00:11:44,153 --> 00:11:45,121
Abi, you're up.
119
00:11:45,154 --> 00:11:46,490
Alright, send him out.
120
00:11:47,557 --> 00:11:49,225
Yeah.
121
00:11:49,259 --> 00:11:51,427
- One, two, three...
- Abi!
122
00:12:03,273 --> 00:12:04,541
Come on, work.
Work, Abi, work!
123
00:12:15,451 --> 00:12:17,421
Run the bar, run the bar.
124
00:12:21,091 --> 00:12:23,192
Come on, get him, Abi.
Get him!
125
00:12:23,226 --> 00:12:25,028
Yes!
126
00:12:26,596 --> 00:12:28,231
Good, Abi, good.
127
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:32,034
- Good job, son.
- Thank you, sir.
128
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,610
Hey, hey, hey, yes! Good job.
129
00:12:40,644 --> 00:12:43,379
Next up at 150lbs:
130
00:12:43,413 --> 00:12:46,917
Nick Newell
versus Tyler Burrow.
131
00:12:49,419 --> 00:12:50,988
- Alright, let's send him out.
- Let's go.
132
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,121
- Alright.
- Let's go, Nick.
133
00:12:52,155 --> 00:12:54,490
- One, two, three...
- Nick.
134
00:12:57,995 --> 00:13:00,364
- You've got this, bro.
- Remember the basics.
135
00:13:00,397 --> 00:13:03,100
Remember what we talked about,
stay focused.
136
00:13:09,472 --> 00:13:10,573
You got this.
137
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:13,976
- You can do it.
- Come on.
138
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:15,278
It's all yours.
139
00:13:46,109 --> 00:13:47,344
Tough finish.
140
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,282
Geez, Coach,
kid only had one arm.
141
00:13:56,552 --> 00:13:57,654
Good effort.
142
00:13:58,288 --> 00:13:59,691
Hey...
143
00:13:59,724 --> 00:14:01,124
you'll get him
next time, alright.
144
00:14:15,304 --> 00:14:17,173
Nick, dinner's ready.
145
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:22,011
Come on.
146
00:14:25,315 --> 00:14:26,549
What's wrong?
147
00:14:27,719 --> 00:14:30,052
I can't do this, Mom.
148
00:14:30,086 --> 00:14:33,289
Look, the only
disability in life
149
00:14:33,322 --> 00:14:35,158
is a shitty attitude, Nick.
150
00:14:37,461 --> 00:14:38,730
You can do it.
151
00:15:00,851 --> 00:15:04,453
Jim, over here!
Jim, I want you to meet my son.
152
00:15:04,488 --> 00:15:06,490
Jim, hi, how are you?
153
00:15:07,725 --> 00:15:10,092
- Jim Abbott.
- So they tell me.
154
00:15:10,126 --> 00:15:11,763
Mr. Abbott,
my son is a big fan of yours.
155
00:15:11,796 --> 00:15:13,563
I mean, if we could
just have a moment of your time.
156
00:15:13,596 --> 00:15:15,365
He's a wrestler,
he's not very good but he's...
157
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:16,399
- Mom.
- What?
158
00:15:16,432 --> 00:15:18,568
Wrestling, huh?
159
00:15:18,601 --> 00:15:21,504
I'll tell you what,
I don't have to be back for a few minutes
160
00:15:21,538 --> 00:15:24,841
so why don't we
go over here and have a chat.
161
00:15:24,875 --> 00:15:26,509
Come on, let's go.
162
00:15:32,481 --> 00:15:34,317
So you're a wrestler, huh?
163
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:37,721
Yeah, but, um...
164
00:15:37,754 --> 00:15:39,389
But what?
165
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:45,394
I suck.
166
00:15:46,495 --> 00:15:48,599
Do you want to know something?
167
00:15:48,631 --> 00:15:50,868
I sucked too,
when I was in high school.
168
00:15:52,635 --> 00:15:56,472
But I loved baseball,
more than anything.
169
00:15:57,674 --> 00:15:59,109
And I stuck with it.
170
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:04,246
If you love wrestling,
171
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,384
you've got to work harder
than everyone else.
172
00:16:09,953 --> 00:16:11,520
But do what you love.
173
00:16:22,966 --> 00:16:24,267
Stick with it.
174
00:16:26,738 --> 00:16:29,172
And never give up.
175
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:50,326
- Oh, hey, Coach.
- Oh, Nick will be right out.
176
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,629
Coach, I wanted to talk to you
about something.
177
00:16:52,663 --> 00:16:54,264
Sure, what's up?
178
00:16:54,297 --> 00:16:56,432
I was wondering if you
thought there might be a way
179
00:16:56,466 --> 00:16:58,836
for Nick to get better, quicker.
180
00:17:00,504 --> 00:17:02,572
Well, there's-there's
wrestling camp
181
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,307
over the summer but it's...
182
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:06,276
- But?
- But it's not cheap,
183
00:17:06,308 --> 00:17:08,278
and I'm never comfortable
spending other people's money.
184
00:17:09,881 --> 00:17:11,749
Alright,
let me worry about that.
185
00:17:37,674 --> 00:17:39,442
Sorry, I'm late.
I'll get dinner ready.
186
00:17:39,476 --> 00:17:41,011
No, don't worry about it.
187
00:17:41,045 --> 00:17:42,779
No, it'll only take me
a few minutes.
188
00:17:42,814 --> 00:17:45,916
- Mom, sit down.
- Hm...
189
00:17:47,818 --> 00:17:48,853
What's wrong?
190
00:17:53,825 --> 00:17:55,258
What's-what's the matter?
191
00:17:56,526 --> 00:17:58,361
Why were these in the trash?
192
00:18:00,832 --> 00:18:02,465
Because Coach Jeremy
thinks you should go
193
00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:04,567
to wrestling camp this summer,
and I happen to be in agreement.
194
00:18:04,601 --> 00:18:05,836
I know.
195
00:18:05,869 --> 00:18:07,304
Well, then why didn't you
say anything?
196
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:08,438
Because we can't afford it.
197
00:18:08,471 --> 00:18:10,708
That is not for you
to worry about.
198
00:18:10,741 --> 00:18:12,442
- I'm not going.
- Yes, you are.
199
00:18:12,476 --> 00:18:13,944
It's already been decided, Nick.
200
00:18:16,681 --> 00:18:19,884
You need that money,
for nursing school, it's important.
201
00:18:19,916 --> 00:18:21,786
It is not as important.
202
00:18:26,522 --> 00:18:28,424
And when you become a parent
one day you will realize
203
00:18:28,458 --> 00:18:30,961
that your kids dreams
come before your own, okay?
204
00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:33,462
Please allow me that.
205
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:44,307
Just promise me... promise me one day
you're gonna go to nursing school.
206
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:45,843
Okay, I promise you.
207
00:19:28,051 --> 00:19:30,619
Alright, time to get back
in the game, right?
208
00:19:30,654 --> 00:19:32,622
You've got to get
your head right, out of summer.
209
00:19:32,656 --> 00:19:34,090
Gonna be a great season.
210
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:36,126
Hey, come on.
Come on, you guys, sit down.
211
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,427
Join us. Nick, Abi, sit down.
212
00:19:38,461 --> 00:19:39,963
Abi, Nick, welcome back.
213
00:19:39,997 --> 00:19:41,631
Great.
214
00:19:41,665 --> 00:19:43,034
We're gonna suck
again this year.
215
00:19:43,067 --> 00:19:46,770
Hey. Hey, that's enough, Shelby.
It's a team effort.
216
00:19:46,804 --> 00:19:49,006
Then Elbow
doesn't belong on the team.
217
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:50,842
Well, you're one to talk Shelby.
218
00:19:50,875 --> 00:19:53,509
Only move your good at
is shitting out of your mouth.
219
00:19:53,542 --> 00:19:54,846
Cool it, Newell.
220
00:19:54,878 --> 00:19:57,346
- Hey...
- You know, how about we wrestle?
221
00:19:58,883 --> 00:20:00,116
Yeah.
222
00:20:00,151 --> 00:20:02,053
How about we wrestle.
223
00:20:02,086 --> 00:20:04,922
Elbow, what dreamland
are you living in?
224
00:20:06,089 --> 00:20:07,523
I want to wrestle him, Coach.
225
00:20:09,491 --> 00:20:11,394
Tell you what,
if you win I'll walk.
226
00:20:14,999 --> 00:20:15,967
Alright, Nick.
227
00:20:17,601 --> 00:20:20,636
So if he wins,
no more nicknames, right?
228
00:20:23,074 --> 00:20:24,540
- Do it, Shelby.
- Alright.
229
00:20:24,574 --> 00:20:25,742
You scared?
230
00:20:28,813 --> 00:20:31,715
Alright, freak, let's do this.
231
00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:39,623
Wrestle.
232
00:20:41,458 --> 00:20:42,894
Come on, Nick, kick his ass.
233
00:20:45,663 --> 00:20:46,663
Where are you going?
234
00:20:50,835 --> 00:20:52,169
You done yet?
235
00:20:52,202 --> 00:20:53,770
Not even close.
236
00:21:00,144 --> 00:21:01,112
Yes!
237
00:21:07,151 --> 00:21:09,086
No, no, no.
238
00:21:10,887 --> 00:21:13,556
Okay, alright, he's pinned,
he's pinned. It's over.
239
00:21:14,557 --> 00:21:15,759
Yes!
240
00:21:15,792 --> 00:21:16,661
Hey!
241
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:20,230
That's not fair!
242
00:21:20,263 --> 00:21:22,598
I was clearly
outside of the circle.
243
00:21:22,632 --> 00:21:26,603
- What, you want to go again?
- No, no, it's over it's over. Newell won.
244
00:21:26,635 --> 00:21:28,005
No more nicknames, period.
245
00:21:29,906 --> 00:21:31,041
Nice.
246
00:21:41,852 --> 00:21:44,087
Whoo!
247
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:51,162
You're a beast, man
248
00:21:51,194 --> 00:21:53,130
I agree.
249
00:21:53,163 --> 00:21:56,232
Nick Newell
and Jeff Sommers to the mat.
250
00:21:56,267 --> 00:21:58,601
Alright, alright, listen to me,
251
00:21:58,634 --> 00:22:01,038
this guy is strong,
and he has good technique.
252
00:22:01,071 --> 00:22:02,605
Alright. Any weaknesses?
253
00:22:02,638 --> 00:22:06,009
Uh, nope, he's basically like
the perfect wrestler.
254
00:22:07,678 --> 00:22:11,548
- Sick.
- No, Nick, you can beat him.
255
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:13,183
Just don't let him
dictate the action.
256
00:22:13,217 --> 00:22:15,685
Stay aggressive,
and go right after him.
257
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,253
Hey, hey, hey,
who's the coach here?
258
00:22:17,288 --> 00:22:19,222
- Sorry, Coach.
- Alright, Nick, listen.
259
00:22:19,256 --> 00:22:23,661
Listen, I want you to do...
to do exactly what Abi says.
260
00:22:23,693 --> 00:22:26,963
Huh? We only need one more match
win to get us to regionals.
261
00:22:26,998 --> 00:22:30,968
Alright, okay,
huddle up, come on.
262
00:22:31,001 --> 00:22:33,770
Alright, it's Nick.
Here we go.
263
00:22:35,572 --> 00:22:37,875
- Alright, one, two, three...
- Nick!
264
00:23:02,732 --> 00:23:04,667
Nick, Nick, you done?
265
00:23:06,635 --> 00:23:09,240
There's a consolation match
coming up in...
266
00:23:09,272 --> 00:23:11,909
Oh, man, I am freezing
my ass off out here.
267
00:23:15,913 --> 00:23:20,317
Alright, I'm going back inside.
268
00:23:20,351 --> 00:23:23,186
If you're not right behind me
I'm gonna tell the officials
269
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:26,323
that you're forfeiting the
consolation round because you quit.
270
00:23:27,825 --> 00:23:29,192
Are you a quitter, Newell?
271
00:23:38,903 --> 00:23:41,872
Just remember, remember Nick,
272
00:23:41,905 --> 00:23:45,607
fear is only temporary,
regret is forever.
273
00:24:28,352 --> 00:24:30,688
Got 'em.
274
00:24:30,721 --> 00:24:32,756
Dammit.
275
00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:34,424
Oh, you're getting
much better, man.
276
00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:36,660
Yeah.
277
00:24:39,096 --> 00:24:41,765
- Almost. Yeah.
- Almost? How about a rematch?
278
00:24:41,798 --> 00:24:42,932
- Let's go.
- Rematch?
279
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:44,167
Can we get some more beers
280
00:24:44,201 --> 00:24:46,302
whenever you get a chance,
please? Thank you.
281
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,144
I missed you, man.
It's been a while.
282
00:24:54,177 --> 00:24:55,112
Yeah.
283
00:24:56,313 --> 00:24:58,949
Yeah, man, too long.
284
00:25:01,451 --> 00:25:03,220
Let's not let that happen again.
285
00:25:04,387 --> 00:25:06,690
Deal.
286
00:25:06,723 --> 00:25:08,092
I'm going to empty
the tanks real quick, alright.
287
00:25:08,125 --> 00:25:09,160
Yeah.
288
00:25:13,364 --> 00:25:15,199
- I'm sorry, man.
- What the hell, man?
289
00:25:22,940 --> 00:25:24,074
Are we done here?
290
00:25:25,241 --> 00:25:26,710
Yeah, we're done.
291
00:25:31,882 --> 00:25:34,250
That was crazy. Where the hell
did you learn how to do that?
292
00:25:34,285 --> 00:25:35,486
Yeah, man, I know, I...
293
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:37,453
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
294
00:25:38,388 --> 00:25:39,690
Check this out.
295
00:26:00,778 --> 00:26:02,145
So this is mixed martial arts?
296
00:26:02,179 --> 00:26:04,013
Yeah, man, it's a combat sport
297
00:26:04,048 --> 00:26:05,883
that combines both
striking and wrestling.
298
00:26:05,915 --> 00:26:08,885
It's growing like crazy
right now.
299
00:26:08,919 --> 00:26:10,788
And you want to know
what the best part is?
300
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:12,355
What?
301
00:26:12,388 --> 00:26:14,090
We get paid.
302
00:26:18,028 --> 00:26:19,329
That's-that's cool and all, Abi.
303
00:26:19,363 --> 00:26:21,265
We're not MMA fighters.
304
00:26:21,298 --> 00:26:23,866
Yeah, but we're wrestlers,
305
00:26:23,901 --> 00:26:26,237
which is the best foundation
to start with.
306
00:26:28,404 --> 00:26:29,373
Come on.
307
00:26:38,949 --> 00:26:41,050
Hey, you here for the try outs?
308
00:26:41,085 --> 00:26:42,452
Oh, yeah.
309
00:26:42,486 --> 00:26:45,455
- Tryouts?
- Yes, next week.
310
00:26:45,489 --> 00:26:47,391
Several of you will beat
the shit out of each other,
311
00:26:47,423 --> 00:26:48,558
and one of you will be
the winner,
312
00:26:48,592 --> 00:26:51,127
and get $500 and a fight
313
00:26:51,161 --> 00:26:53,529
in next month's
amateur promotion.
314
00:26:55,065 --> 00:26:56,467
Do you want to fill one out?
315
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:58,469
Five-hundred bucks right?
316
00:26:58,501 --> 00:27:00,371
If you're the winner, yeah.
317
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:04,340
Yeah, give me an application.
318
00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:06,076
- Alright then.
- Thank you.
319
00:27:09,946 --> 00:27:11,914
Good thing you
write with your right hand.
320
00:27:55,224 --> 00:27:56,960
This is what you
want to do to make money?
321
00:27:57,961 --> 00:28:00,931
Hell, yeah. It pays well.
322
00:28:05,435 --> 00:28:08,505
Besides,
these guys are strikers.
323
00:28:08,538 --> 00:28:11,240
You get them to the ground
and they're helpless.
324
00:28:12,509 --> 00:28:13,477
Mm.
325
00:28:19,215 --> 00:28:21,551
How many punches am I gonna have to
take before I get them to the ground?
326
00:28:23,053 --> 00:28:25,855
A few,
but you've got a thick skull.
327
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,326
You're up.
328
00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:35,965
Show 'em how it's done, man.
329
00:28:44,607 --> 00:28:46,175
Let's go, Abi!
330
00:29:01,959 --> 00:29:03,160
Oh, sh...
331
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:15,204
Come on, man, come on.
332
00:29:18,241 --> 00:29:19,609
Come on, Abi, lock it in!
333
00:29:21,644 --> 00:29:25,214
Yes! Come on, baby!
Hell, yeah!
334
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:29,553
Okay, next up.
335
00:29:35,092 --> 00:29:36,492
My boy.
336
00:29:36,527 --> 00:29:38,162
That's not bad, man.
337
00:29:38,194 --> 00:29:40,631
Alright. Kick his ass, alright.
338
00:29:40,664 --> 00:29:44,101
- Alright, man.
- Yeah. Go get him.
339
00:29:47,003 --> 00:29:48,605
Alright, guys,
let's keep it clean.
340
00:29:48,638 --> 00:29:51,508
I just want to
see your skills, okay?
341
00:29:51,541 --> 00:29:54,076
Yo, I can't fight this guy.
342
00:29:54,111 --> 00:29:55,747
You know, if I had a dollar
343
00:29:55,779 --> 00:29:57,181
for every asswipe
that's said that,
344
00:29:57,213 --> 00:29:58,515
I wouldn't have to fight
for this 500.
345
00:29:58,548 --> 00:30:00,317
Bro, who are you
calling an asswipe, man?
346
00:30:00,349 --> 00:30:02,385
Okay, you know what,
to compete in this promotion,
347
00:30:02,419 --> 00:30:06,355
you actually need to physically
beat him not with your scary words.
348
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:09,526
So let's fight, huh?
You guys ready?
349
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:12,261
It's your funeral, gimp.
350
00:30:14,298 --> 00:30:17,166
Okay. Fight.
351
00:30:25,174 --> 00:30:26,678
Gotta protect yourself, Nick.
352
00:30:42,625 --> 00:30:44,729
Wrestle, Nick, wrestle!
Get him to the ground!
353
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:48,298
There you go.
354
00:31:02,747 --> 00:31:07,518
Okay, uh, he's technically
asleep now, so nice going.
355
00:31:09,452 --> 00:31:10,586
Yes!
356
00:31:10,621 --> 00:31:12,422
Whoo!
357
00:31:12,455 --> 00:31:14,156
Alright, uh, first of all,
358
00:31:14,191 --> 00:31:16,058
I want to thank all of you
for coming out
359
00:31:16,093 --> 00:31:18,561
and kicking ass the way you did.
Very impressive.
360
00:31:18,595 --> 00:31:20,596
I wish we had more than
one spot quite frankly,
361
00:31:20,631 --> 00:31:24,166
because a few of you really
could be moving on at this point.
362
00:31:24,201 --> 00:31:27,069
But only one of you can,
as promised.
363
00:31:27,104 --> 00:31:30,574
So without further ado,
364
00:31:30,606 --> 00:31:34,377
the winner is Abi Maestre.
365
00:31:35,511 --> 00:31:38,615
Look at this guy.
How about that?
366
00:31:38,648 --> 00:31:40,217
Hey, drinks on me
tonight, fellas.
367
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:41,317
Alright, but listen up,
368
00:31:41,351 --> 00:31:43,554
you got four weeks
to prepare, okay.
369
00:31:43,586 --> 00:31:46,790
This Matt Bartunek,
he's not to be taken lightly.
370
00:31:46,824 --> 00:31:50,192
He'll rip off your head and show it
to you before you die, you understand?
371
00:31:50,227 --> 00:31:52,194
- Yes, sir.
- Alright, let's hear it for him.
372
00:32:06,143 --> 00:32:08,111
- Alright, alright, alright.
- Whoo!
373
00:32:08,144 --> 00:32:10,314
All you other losers
better beware,
374
00:32:10,346 --> 00:32:13,650
he'll smash you,
and thrash you, Bubba the Bear!
375
00:32:17,153 --> 00:32:18,655
The Bear's in trouble.
376
00:32:18,690 --> 00:32:21,191
Ladies and gentlemen,
we might have a new champion.
377
00:32:21,223 --> 00:32:22,727
Ahh, not so fast.
378
00:32:26,596 --> 00:32:27,832
Come on, man.
379
00:32:30,701 --> 00:32:32,737
I gotta get going, man.
380
00:32:32,769 --> 00:32:34,503
I'm having dinner with my dad.
381
00:32:34,538 --> 00:32:37,374
Your dad, seriously?
382
00:32:38,275 --> 00:32:39,343
Yeah.
383
00:32:40,811 --> 00:32:42,346
I'll fill you in later.
384
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,481
Alright.
385
00:32:58,595 --> 00:33:02,332
Man I, uh...
I wish you were fighting too.
386
00:33:03,867 --> 00:33:08,305
Nah, they picked the best guy.
387
00:33:08,337 --> 00:33:10,708
Besides, man, for the first time
in my life, I...
388
00:33:12,844 --> 00:33:14,811
I feel like I have
some sort of direction.
389
00:33:16,313 --> 00:33:17,682
So thank you for that.
390
00:33:18,615 --> 00:33:20,182
You always have my back.
391
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:26,288
Of course, man,
you're my brother.
392
00:33:26,891 --> 00:33:28,726
You're my brother.
393
00:33:31,796 --> 00:33:33,230
Now, I'll see you tomorrow,
right?
394
00:33:33,262 --> 00:33:34,297
Yes, sir.
395
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,403
Hey, yo, Nick,
do me a favor, alright?
396
00:33:40,436 --> 00:33:41,538
What's up?
397
00:33:42,506 --> 00:33:43,740
Keep your hands up.
398
00:33:45,474 --> 00:33:46,576
Keep my hands up?
399
00:33:46,609 --> 00:33:48,478
Yeah, yeah?
400
00:34:14,371 --> 00:34:15,338
Need a hand with that?
401
00:34:19,476 --> 00:34:20,911
Is that a joke?
402
00:34:20,945 --> 00:34:23,646
Oh, hell no, I-I didn't
mean that I just was...
403
00:34:23,681 --> 00:34:24,782
I'm kidding, Erroll.
404
00:34:28,952 --> 00:34:31,922
Um... it's okay to call me dad.
405
00:34:31,956 --> 00:34:33,590
Yeah, I know.
406
00:34:35,827 --> 00:34:38,427
Is that why you changed
your last name to Newell?
407
00:34:38,461 --> 00:34:39,563
Are you ashamed of my name?
408
00:34:39,596 --> 00:34:40,731
No.
409
00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:44,601
But Mom was.
410
00:34:47,536 --> 00:34:51,641
Listen, Nick, I don't know what your
mom told you about why I left...
411
00:34:53,077 --> 00:34:55,545
but there is so much more...
412
00:34:55,579 --> 00:34:57,481
She told me that you were
a selfish shit
413
00:34:57,514 --> 00:35:00,016
who freaked out at the idea
of raising a kid with one arm.
414
00:35:01,451 --> 00:35:03,688
That sounds like typical
Stacey bullshit.
415
00:35:03,721 --> 00:35:07,556
Hey, Nick, Nick, Nick.
Come on, come...
416
00:35:07,590 --> 00:35:09,559
I'm sorry, come on, come back.
417
00:35:13,063 --> 00:35:14,563
Come on.
418
00:35:14,597 --> 00:35:16,532
No, you listen to me.
419
00:35:16,565 --> 00:35:18,034
You don't get to
talk to her like that.
420
00:35:18,068 --> 00:35:20,536
You don't get to
speak about her like that.
421
00:35:20,570 --> 00:35:23,440
You weren't there for me
and she was.
422
00:35:23,472 --> 00:35:25,710
You weren't there for me
when I needed you.
423
00:35:27,677 --> 00:35:29,780
She's more of a parent to me
that you would ever be.
424
00:35:32,349 --> 00:35:33,050
I know.
425
00:35:34,918 --> 00:35:36,920
I know.
426
00:35:36,954 --> 00:35:40,724
I let you down,
and I'm sorry.
427
00:35:42,126 --> 00:35:44,695
I couldn't get my shit together.
428
00:35:44,728 --> 00:35:50,400
I had some issues, some demons
that I couldn't quite drown.
429
00:35:51,702 --> 00:35:55,371
But, look, I-I'm...
I'm better now.
430
00:35:55,405 --> 00:35:56,673
You know what, just..
431
00:35:59,643 --> 00:36:00,811
Don't worry about it.
432
00:36:03,114 --> 00:36:04,581
Mom and I did just fine.
433
00:36:05,849 --> 00:36:06,818
I know you did.
434
00:36:10,153 --> 00:36:11,989
I noticed
you're wrestling again.
435
00:36:13,056 --> 00:36:14,490
How'd you know that?
436
00:36:17,061 --> 00:36:19,596
Hey, how'd you know I even
wrestled in the first place?
437
00:36:20,530 --> 00:36:23,532
Well, I... I check in.
438
00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:25,402
Always have.
439
00:36:32,541 --> 00:36:33,610
Second chance.
440
00:36:34,411 --> 00:36:35,478
Second chance.
441
00:36:37,815 --> 00:36:38,916
Hey, Mom.
442
00:36:42,652 --> 00:36:43,653
Mom?
443
00:36:45,588 --> 00:36:46,657
Mom, what's wrong?
444
00:36:48,159 --> 00:36:49,860
Mom...
445
00:36:50,961 --> 00:36:53,597
Abi was in
a motorcycle accident.
446
00:36:55,967 --> 00:36:57,534
Well, is he okay?
447
00:36:59,135 --> 00:37:01,605
Nick, he died.
448
00:37:03,074 --> 00:37:04,373
What?
449
00:37:05,608 --> 00:37:07,409
What?
450
00:37:07,443 --> 00:37:09,780
- I'm so sorry.
- Abi's dead?
451
00:37:14,085 --> 00:37:15,920
- No.
- Nick...
452
00:37:16,987 --> 00:37:20,724
No. No, Mom, no, no.
453
00:38:17,047 --> 00:38:20,751
Why?! Why?! Why him?!
454
00:38:20,784 --> 00:38:24,889
Why?! Why him?! Why?!
455
00:39:01,623 --> 00:39:02,592
Hey, Nick.
456
00:39:04,728 --> 00:39:06,528
Yeah.
457
00:39:06,563 --> 00:39:07,664
Listen, uh...
458
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:11,202
I just wanted to say
how sorry I am about Abi.
459
00:39:11,235 --> 00:39:12,869
I know how close you two were.
460
00:39:14,237 --> 00:39:15,271
Yeah.
461
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,608
Yeah, you guys, uh,
462
00:39:18,641 --> 00:39:20,911
you both showed real skill
during the try outs, you know.
463
00:39:22,112 --> 00:39:24,081
I watch you train every day.
464
00:39:25,581 --> 00:39:27,018
Thank you.
465
00:39:27,050 --> 00:39:30,153
Yeah, we still got
that promotional fight...
466
00:39:31,722 --> 00:39:34,125
against Bartunek,
you know, coming up.
467
00:39:37,862 --> 00:39:39,561
How would you feel
about stepping in?
468
00:39:42,266 --> 00:39:44,735
For Abi?
469
00:39:44,768 --> 00:39:47,304
I watch you
train every day with him.
470
00:39:47,338 --> 00:39:48,905
You're ready.
471
00:39:51,608 --> 00:39:54,244
And I'll pay you
the same 500 I promised to him.
472
00:39:56,746 --> 00:39:58,248
The fight's in two days.
473
00:40:01,385 --> 00:40:04,320
Yeah, okay, $1,000 then.
474
00:40:04,355 --> 00:40:06,657
And we got
the championship arena.
475
00:40:11,996 --> 00:40:15,597
Hey, what the hell else
you gonna do on Saturday night?
476
00:40:26,277 --> 00:40:30,181
Hey, you got a nickname?
477
00:40:31,748 --> 00:40:34,050
Um, no.
478
00:40:35,251 --> 00:40:36,954
How about Notorious Nick?
479
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:40,623
Eh, try it on.
480
00:40:48,431 --> 00:40:49,733
Welcome home.
481
00:40:51,034 --> 00:40:53,737
Wow, Chinese food.
482
00:40:53,771 --> 00:40:55,905
I mean,
this is something else.
483
00:40:55,940 --> 00:40:58,242
I got you
your favorite too, here.
484
00:41:02,146 --> 00:41:03,713
You're up to something.
485
00:41:05,782 --> 00:41:06,884
What is this?
486
00:41:12,356 --> 00:41:14,757
There's no way you're not going
to finish nursing school, Mom.
487
00:41:16,693 --> 00:41:18,161
Where did you get
this type of money?
488
00:41:19,362 --> 00:41:21,931
- Where?
- I'm filling in for Abi.
489
00:41:23,467 --> 00:41:26,036
You're fighting?
490
00:41:26,070 --> 00:41:29,072
- Yeah.
- Are you out of your mind?
491
00:41:29,106 --> 00:41:31,141
I mean, who's gonna pay for your
medical bills, Nick, when you get hurt?
492
00:41:31,175 --> 00:41:33,143
We don't have
medical insurance.
493
00:41:33,177 --> 00:41:35,179
You're almost a nurse,
right, so...
494
00:41:35,211 --> 00:41:36,813
Very funny.
495
00:41:36,847 --> 00:41:41,184
Mom, I'm gonna be careful.
496
00:41:41,217 --> 00:41:42,820
Okay, I know
how to protect myself.
497
00:41:42,853 --> 00:41:46,190
No, no, this is... this is...
this is crazy.
498
00:41:46,222 --> 00:41:48,692
Look, you've been taking care
of me my entire life.
499
00:41:50,193 --> 00:41:53,230
I want to help, it's my turn.
500
00:41:58,001 --> 00:42:01,204
Well, I guess if you're gonna
fight you better kick some ass.
501
00:42:03,773 --> 00:42:05,742
I mean,
some serious ass kicking.
502
00:42:05,775 --> 00:42:06,976
I will.
503
00:42:09,213 --> 00:42:10,914
Oh, my God.
504
00:42:12,782 --> 00:42:14,083
All for me?
505
00:42:23,260 --> 00:42:24,228
Nick.
506
00:42:26,896 --> 00:42:28,097
Coach.
507
00:42:30,034 --> 00:42:31,768
Long time, no see.
What's up?
508
00:42:32,369 --> 00:42:33,737
Um...
509
00:42:35,773 --> 00:42:38,141
Look, I have...
I have a fight coming up.
510
00:42:39,976 --> 00:42:42,246
I was wondering if
you would work my corner.
511
00:42:46,317 --> 00:42:48,018
I don't work with quitters, kid.
512
00:42:52,056 --> 00:42:54,224
- Coach, this-this fight...
- I can't do it.
513
00:42:56,260 --> 00:42:57,961
My time's too valuable.
514
00:42:59,996 --> 00:43:01,231
Good luck.
515
00:43:13,277 --> 00:43:17,414
It's time for our next contest.
516
00:43:17,447 --> 00:43:22,186
Introducing first,
fighting out of the red corner,
517
00:43:22,219 --> 00:43:27,257
with a record of six wins
and zero losses,
518
00:43:27,291 --> 00:43:28,992
please welcome
519
00:43:29,025 --> 00:43:34,498
Matt "The Beast" Bartunek.
520
00:43:36,233 --> 00:43:41,472
And in the blue corner,
fighting for the first time,
521
00:43:41,505 --> 00:43:46,943
please welcome
Notorious Nick Newell.
522
00:43:48,244 --> 00:43:49,947
Notorious.
523
00:43:51,447 --> 00:43:52,548
To the center, gentlemen.
524
00:43:56,019 --> 00:43:59,456
Now, remember,
protect yourself at all times.
525
00:43:59,489 --> 00:44:02,326
If you don't have any questions,
just touch gloves. Good luck.
526
00:44:09,632 --> 00:44:10,900
Are you ready?
527
00:44:12,335 --> 00:44:13,503
Are you ready?
528
00:44:15,139 --> 00:44:16,806
And fight.
529
00:44:28,018 --> 00:44:28,952
Nick.
530
00:44:40,297 --> 00:44:41,864
Wrestle, dammit.
531
00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:15,398
Tap! Tap!
532
00:45:15,431 --> 00:45:18,302
That's it, that's it.
533
00:45:38,054 --> 00:45:39,556
How is he?
534
00:45:39,590 --> 00:45:41,324
He's a very lucky man.
535
00:45:41,358 --> 00:45:44,061
If you start getting headaches
or feeling nauseous,
536
00:45:44,094 --> 00:45:46,396
you need to see
a doctor immediately.
537
00:45:46,429 --> 00:45:49,099
- Understand?
- He understands.
538
00:46:00,077 --> 00:46:02,612
I didn't know.
539
00:46:02,646 --> 00:46:05,181
- Know what?
- I didn't know how brutal this sport is.
540
00:46:05,215 --> 00:46:08,284
I can't watch you
take another beatdown like that.
541
00:46:08,318 --> 00:46:10,153
What does that mean?
542
00:46:10,186 --> 00:46:12,088
It means that you
cannot fight again
543
00:46:12,121 --> 00:46:13,623
or you're gonna
get seriously hurt.
544
00:46:14,525 --> 00:46:16,092
I'll be fine, I promise.
545
00:46:16,126 --> 00:46:18,228
You cannot promise me
that about this.
546
00:46:18,262 --> 00:46:20,329
You can't promise me that you're
not gonna end up in a hospital,
547
00:46:20,364 --> 00:46:22,199
brain dead
with tubes keeping you alive.
548
00:46:22,231 --> 00:46:24,635
- You're being overly dramatic.
- Am I?
549
00:46:24,668 --> 00:46:27,237
You always told me that I could
be anything I put my mind to.
550
00:46:27,271 --> 00:46:28,505
That doesn't mean
that you're superhuman,
551
00:46:28,539 --> 00:46:31,041
and that you're not
gonna get seriously hurt!
552
00:46:31,074 --> 00:46:34,411
You need to quit
before that ends up happening.
553
00:46:37,213 --> 00:46:38,648
I can't believe
you're telling me to quit.
554
00:46:38,682 --> 00:46:40,317
Listen to me.
555
00:46:40,349 --> 00:46:42,619
Listen to me.
556
00:46:42,653 --> 00:46:45,757
I have always told you that I would be honest
with you no matter how much it hurts you,
557
00:46:45,789 --> 00:46:50,226
and you cannot make a career
of this sport Nick. You cannot.
558
00:46:50,260 --> 00:46:52,128
I don't need to hear that
from you right now.
559
00:46:54,364 --> 00:46:55,998
I've heard that shit
my entire life,
560
00:46:56,032 --> 00:46:57,668
I don't need to
hear it from you!
561
00:46:58,568 --> 00:47:00,137
Well, you just did.
562
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:28,030
Coach.
563
00:47:31,735 --> 00:47:33,536
I thought I might find you here.
564
00:47:43,579 --> 00:47:45,349
I saw your fight
the other night.
565
00:47:47,483 --> 00:47:48,686
You shoulda won.
566
00:47:50,755 --> 00:47:52,588
Instead, you fought stupid
with anger
567
00:47:52,623 --> 00:47:56,193
and let your emotions
get the better of you.
568
00:48:04,501 --> 00:48:06,135
Anything else?
569
00:48:06,168 --> 00:48:08,070
You went toe-to-toe
with a puncher.
570
00:48:09,306 --> 00:48:11,842
Played right into his strength
571
00:48:11,876 --> 00:48:15,311
instead of exploiting his
weakness, which was wrestling.
572
00:48:19,615 --> 00:48:21,753
Did I do anything right?
573
00:48:21,786 --> 00:48:26,757
Yeah,
you showed unbelievable heart.
574
00:48:29,126 --> 00:48:33,230
That can't be learned.
You either have it or you don't.
575
00:48:33,262 --> 00:48:35,599
You have it in spades, kid.
576
00:48:40,403 --> 00:48:43,172
I should have never quit on you.
577
00:48:43,206 --> 00:48:44,507
You know, you didn't quit on me,
578
00:48:44,541 --> 00:48:47,110
you quit on yourself,
you quit on the team.
579
00:48:47,143 --> 00:48:49,246
I didn't think
I was good enough.
580
00:48:49,278 --> 00:48:51,213
What makes you think
you're good enough now?
581
00:48:52,784 --> 00:48:54,617
Because Abi thought so.
582
00:48:58,822 --> 00:49:00,356
It's okay to grieve, kid.
583
00:49:02,827 --> 00:49:06,764
Grieving leaves scars that
each wears as a badge of honor.
584
00:49:08,164 --> 00:49:10,867
It means you love someone.
585
00:49:10,902 --> 00:49:13,269
And take it from me,
the mourning will never stop.
586
00:49:13,302 --> 00:49:15,371
And you should never want it to.
587
00:49:15,405 --> 00:49:17,373
I wanted to win
the fight for him.
588
00:49:19,610 --> 00:49:22,179
You don't honor Abi
by winning a fight.
589
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,248
Win the fights for yourself.
590
00:49:32,657 --> 00:49:36,760
You're gonna have to listen to what I
say, and trust me.
591
00:49:39,195 --> 00:49:40,831
You saying
you're going to train me?
592
00:49:50,675 --> 00:49:51,708
Coach...
593
00:49:54,846 --> 00:49:56,480
I need to do this.
594
00:49:58,949 --> 00:50:01,652
You know I don't know shit
about mixed martial arts.
595
00:50:07,692 --> 00:50:09,559
Does it look like I do?
596
00:50:12,496 --> 00:50:17,266
No, no.
We're going to learn.
597
00:50:45,528 --> 00:50:47,496
Alright, all the way down.
598
00:50:47,530 --> 00:50:48,833
All the way down.
599
00:50:51,034 --> 00:50:52,302
Alright, that's good.
600
00:50:52,335 --> 00:50:54,371
Come on, come on, come on!
One more.
601
00:50:54,403 --> 00:50:58,641
Push, push. You can do it.
602
00:50:58,675 --> 00:51:00,610
Oh, your new
sparring partner's here.
603
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:22,032
He's pretty square
on his opponent.
604
00:51:22,065 --> 00:51:24,266
See this guy? This guy, too,
is dominating, right?
605
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:27,269
Look how this guy backs up...
then he sneaks by.
606
00:51:27,304 --> 00:51:29,505
But now he-he seems like he's...
607
00:51:29,539 --> 00:51:31,641
- Certainly being the aggressor.
- Right.
608
00:51:46,958 --> 00:51:48,059
Alright, Nick.
609
00:51:48,092 --> 00:51:49,025
Nick, we made it, man.
610
00:51:49,059 --> 00:51:51,963
We made it.
We are here, fight number one.
611
00:51:51,996 --> 00:51:54,831
Alright, prove you belong.
Prove you belong!
612
00:52:00,737 --> 00:52:01,972
Fighter, are you ready?
613
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,340
Fighter, are you ready?
614
00:52:05,342 --> 00:52:06,342
Fight.
615
00:52:19,090 --> 00:52:20,523
Get out of there,
get out of there!
616
00:52:33,436 --> 00:52:34,806
You got it. You got him.
Hold him!
617
00:52:42,378 --> 00:52:44,882
Oh, oh! Whoa! Whoo!
618
00:52:50,619 --> 00:52:52,657
KO! KO, KO, KO!
619
00:53:05,601 --> 00:53:06,771
Jab! Give me a pop up.
620
00:53:06,804 --> 00:53:07,905
Give me a pop up. There.
621
00:53:31,494 --> 00:53:32,528
There, Nick...
622
00:53:46,844 --> 00:53:47,811
Alright, here we go.
623
00:53:51,514 --> 00:53:52,949
He doesn't look that tough.
624
00:54:22,179 --> 00:54:25,682
Yeah, yeah! Hell, yeah! Whoo!
625
00:54:26,784 --> 00:54:28,550
I guess looks can be deceiving.
626
00:54:34,925 --> 00:54:36,425
Rich, hey.
627
00:54:37,128 --> 00:54:37,961
It's Nick.
628
00:54:39,195 --> 00:54:41,666
Hey, Rich.
629
00:54:41,699 --> 00:54:43,967
I just wanted to, uh,
congratulate you on your win.
630
00:54:44,001 --> 00:54:45,434
Hey, thanks, man.
631
00:54:50,507 --> 00:54:52,108
It's gonna be
a real honor to fight you.
632
00:54:54,643 --> 00:54:57,447
Fight me? Fat chance.
633
00:54:58,748 --> 00:55:00,016
What do you mean?
634
00:55:00,050 --> 00:55:02,619
Nick's ranked number one,
he's your mandatory.
635
00:55:03,987 --> 00:55:05,755
I don't give a shit.
636
00:55:05,789 --> 00:55:08,224
I'm a legitimate fighter,
not a publicity stunt.
637
00:55:08,259 --> 00:55:10,161
Who the hell are you
calling a publicity stunt?
638
00:55:10,193 --> 00:55:12,996
I can't even
take you serious, little boy.
639
00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:15,632
Look, how do we benefit
in either case?
640
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:17,068
- It's a lose-lose.
- Right.
641
00:55:17,101 --> 00:55:20,637
If we beat you, then Rich
beat a one-handed fighter.
642
00:55:20,670 --> 00:55:22,139
And if he loses...
643
00:55:22,172 --> 00:55:24,641
then he lost
to a one-handed fighter.
644
00:55:24,675 --> 00:55:26,010
Pretty much.
645
00:55:26,043 --> 00:55:27,878
Look, I earned my way here.
646
00:55:27,911 --> 00:55:29,512
Sure, you did.
647
00:55:29,545 --> 00:55:31,248
The hell
is that supposed to mean?
648
00:55:31,282 --> 00:55:33,550
C'mon, man, everybody knows
that promoters
649
00:55:33,583 --> 00:55:36,518
use you to draw big crowds
and match you up with bums.
650
00:55:36,552 --> 00:55:37,253
It's no secret.
651
00:55:39,588 --> 00:55:41,590
Okay, if you're so sure
then take the fight.
652
00:55:44,128 --> 00:55:45,695
You don't seem to get it do you.
653
00:55:46,563 --> 00:55:49,266
You're a sideshow,
a marketing ploy.
654
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:51,034
You're giving
real fighters a bad name.
655
00:55:51,068 --> 00:55:53,137
- This sideshow's about to beat your ass!
- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
656
00:55:53,170 --> 00:55:54,739
Alright,
we're not taking the bait,
657
00:55:54,771 --> 00:55:55,773
and we are not
taking the fight.
658
00:55:55,806 --> 00:55:58,074
Now you guys need to
get out of here right now.
659
00:55:58,108 --> 00:55:59,143
Now!
660
00:55:59,175 --> 00:56:00,744
This isn't over.
661
00:56:00,777 --> 00:56:02,880
We're going to take this
to the XFC!
662
00:56:02,913 --> 00:56:04,047
Yeah, yeah, good luck.
663
00:56:04,081 --> 00:56:05,648
Come on, let's go!
Come on, Nick.
664
00:56:05,682 --> 00:56:07,684
Go! Get the hell out of here.
665
00:56:08,351 --> 00:56:10,552
Nice meeting you.
666
00:56:18,695 --> 00:56:19,764
Hey, guy.
667
00:56:19,797 --> 00:56:22,199
Hey, uh, I got some bad news.
668
00:56:22,233 --> 00:56:25,268
Uh, XFC has
a new sanctioning board
669
00:56:25,302 --> 00:56:27,204
and after looking at
our application
670
00:56:27,237 --> 00:56:31,074
they've, uh, announced they're
not going to sanction a fight.
671
00:56:32,710 --> 00:56:33,677
What?
672
00:56:33,710 --> 00:56:36,847
Yeah, yeah, they're denying
your right to fight.
673
00:56:40,251 --> 00:56:42,820
No, no. They can't...
they can't do that.
674
00:56:42,853 --> 00:56:44,121
- I know.
- Look, I earned my way here.
675
00:56:44,155 --> 00:56:45,322
- You did.
- They cannot do that.
676
00:56:45,356 --> 00:56:46,257
You did, I know.
677
00:56:46,289 --> 00:56:48,659
Let's-let's step over here
and talk about it.
678
00:56:56,632 --> 00:56:58,135
I mean, what the hell
is the point
679
00:56:58,168 --> 00:56:59,702
of having rankings if they're
not going to honor them?
680
00:56:59,737 --> 00:57:01,739
I understand, okay.
Let's-let's stay calm
681
00:57:01,771 --> 00:57:03,273
and try to think this through.
682
00:57:03,306 --> 00:57:05,742
Nick's a contender
for the title, this is his shot.
683
00:57:05,775 --> 00:57:07,978
Of course it is, alright,
no one's doubting that,
684
00:57:08,012 --> 00:57:09,880
it's just this is
a new sanctioning board
685
00:57:09,914 --> 00:57:13,083
and they've been told
a different story.
686
00:57:13,117 --> 00:57:15,853
They just think the XFC has been
using Nick as a publicity stunt.
687
00:57:15,885 --> 00:57:18,222
- Man, this is such bullshit.
- Of course it is.
688
00:57:18,255 --> 00:57:22,326
You beat legitimate guys:
Maze, Butler, you whipped them.
689
00:57:22,358 --> 00:57:25,695
Okay, then why?
Why can't I fight?
690
00:57:25,728 --> 00:57:28,065
They're just afraid
that if these rumors go public
691
00:57:28,099 --> 00:57:31,135
and you get hurt during a fight,
then their credibility is shot,
692
00:57:31,168 --> 00:57:33,938
not to mention
lawsuits up the ass.
693
00:57:33,971 --> 00:57:35,672
What can we do?
694
00:57:35,706 --> 00:57:37,775
Well, you can petition
the board, ask for a hearing.
695
00:57:37,807 --> 00:57:39,043
Stand up for yourself.
696
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,851
Gentlemen,
welcome to our XFC board.
697
00:57:46,884 --> 00:57:47,985
Please, have a seat.
698
00:57:52,021 --> 00:57:55,893
We, uh...
we have sworn testimony
699
00:57:55,925 --> 00:57:59,896
from Nick's last three opponents
that those fights were legit.
700
00:57:59,929 --> 00:58:02,199
Nick won them fair and square
701
00:58:02,233 --> 00:58:05,001
no matter what you might
have heard. Here.
702
00:58:06,971 --> 00:58:08,271
What incentive
would these fighters
703
00:58:08,304 --> 00:58:09,940
have to say
anything differently?
704
00:58:09,974 --> 00:58:11,407
It would ruin their reputations.
705
00:58:11,442 --> 00:58:13,077
Wait, so you think
they're lying?
706
00:58:13,110 --> 00:58:15,880
Mr. Newell,
wait your turn, please.
707
00:58:15,913 --> 00:58:18,315
No, I'm not gonna wait my turn.
708
00:58:18,349 --> 00:58:20,751
You guys
are messing with my career.
709
00:58:20,784 --> 00:58:22,018
You're taking away
my livelihood.
710
00:58:22,052 --> 00:58:23,019
I am the one
that has to live with
711
00:58:23,052 --> 00:58:25,889
the consequences
of your decisions, not you.
712
00:58:27,123 --> 00:58:28,358
I want to be heard.
713
00:58:30,793 --> 00:58:31,829
Go ahead, Mr. Newell.
714
00:58:35,833 --> 00:58:37,701
Hi.
715
00:58:39,335 --> 00:58:41,938
Nick, I, um...
716
00:58:41,972 --> 00:58:44,807
Hi gentlemen, I'm Stacey Newell,
Nick's mother.
717
00:58:44,842 --> 00:58:46,809
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Newell.
718
00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:49,146
Ms. Newell.
719
00:58:49,179 --> 00:58:51,047
Sorry, Ms. Please continue.
720
00:58:52,315 --> 00:58:54,018
Robert M. Hensel once said
721
00:58:54,050 --> 00:58:55,385
that we the ones
who are challenged
722
00:58:55,418 --> 00:58:58,922
need to be heard, to be seen.
723
00:58:58,956 --> 00:59:03,994
Not as a disability, but as a person
who has and will continue to grow.
724
00:59:04,027 --> 00:59:10,333
To be seen not as a handicap,
but as a well intact human being.
725
00:59:11,902 --> 00:59:14,871
Ma'am, I'm not sure
we understand what you mean.
726
00:59:14,905 --> 00:59:17,007
It means that if he had
two good hands
727
00:59:17,041 --> 00:59:19,342
would we be
even having this hearing?
728
00:59:19,376 --> 00:59:21,878
The first priority
is the safety of our fighters.
729
00:59:21,911 --> 00:59:24,215
I appreciate that, I do.
730
00:59:24,248 --> 00:59:28,385
And no one is more concerned
about Nick's health than I am.
731
00:59:28,418 --> 00:59:30,353
I must admit,
there's a small part of me
732
00:59:30,387 --> 00:59:32,822
that wants you
to deny him his license,
733
00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:35,960
but that is a mother speaking.
734
00:59:35,992 --> 00:59:39,396
And I forget that he
is no longer a little boy
735
00:59:39,429 --> 00:59:43,132
struggling with a disability,
but a man who has overcome it.
736
00:59:44,902 --> 00:59:48,137
Nick has the right to live
the life he wants to live
737
00:59:48,172 --> 00:59:50,373
and to have the career
he wants to pursue.
738
00:59:50,407 --> 00:59:53,876
Especially since he's proven
that he can handle it.
739
00:59:56,547 --> 01:00:00,150
We appreciate your input and it will
be noted. Thank you, Ms. Newell.
740
01:00:00,184 --> 01:00:05,289
Excuse me... you might be surprised
how many supporters Nick has.
741
01:00:07,090 --> 01:00:09,059
And how much press
a one-armed fighter could get
742
01:00:09,092 --> 01:00:12,896
if he's being denied his dreams and
told that he can't fight anymore.
743
01:00:12,929 --> 01:00:17,067
I'm sure that there are countless news
outlets, social media, TV, newspapers,
744
01:00:17,101 --> 01:00:18,969
that would really love to
hear this story.
745
01:00:20,237 --> 01:00:22,005
Let's not make threats now.
746
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:24,907
I'm not making threats,
I'm making promises.
747
01:00:26,242 --> 01:00:28,077
Thank you, Ms. Newell,
748
01:00:28,112 --> 01:00:30,246
we will take this
under advisement.
749
01:00:31,849 --> 01:00:33,550
Let's go. Let's go.
750
01:00:43,927 --> 01:00:45,896
Hey, Vito, how are you doing?
751
01:00:45,929 --> 01:00:47,463
Alex.
752
01:00:47,498 --> 01:00:49,032
It's good to see you,
it's been a while.
753
01:00:49,065 --> 01:00:52,101
- Good to see you, too.
- Yeah, can we talk?
754
01:00:53,369 --> 01:00:55,204
Chris, could you
give us a moment?
755
01:00:57,074 --> 01:01:00,110
Thanks, man.
It's about Nick Newell.
756
01:01:00,143 --> 01:01:02,445
I figured that.
757
01:01:02,478 --> 01:01:05,382
You need to know
that this kid's the real deal.
758
01:01:05,416 --> 01:01:10,219
Every fighter that he's taken on
has been legit, and he has not lost.
759
01:01:10,253 --> 01:01:11,521
I don't know if he's gonna.
760
01:01:12,889 --> 01:01:15,992
Alright? He won't let you down,
761
01:01:16,025 --> 01:01:18,829
I'm not sure he's gonna
disappoint anybody ever.
762
01:01:20,898 --> 01:01:26,536
Look, I just... I need you
to do me this favor, that's all.
763
01:01:26,570 --> 01:01:30,273
I've never asked you
for anything, you know that.
764
01:01:30,306 --> 01:01:33,010
- Ever.
- Alex, I appreciate it.
765
01:01:33,043 --> 01:01:36,347
I really do.
Let me see what I can do.
766
01:01:37,547 --> 01:01:38,514
Alright.
767
01:01:40,050 --> 01:01:42,619
- Hey, Alex?
- Yeah?
768
01:01:43,420 --> 01:01:44,655
Do me a favor,
769
01:01:44,688 --> 01:01:46,956
have your people
keep a lid on this
770
01:01:46,989 --> 01:01:48,391
until we sort things out.
771
01:01:51,260 --> 01:01:52,896
I'll see what I can do.
772
01:02:10,614 --> 01:02:14,284
Okay. You guys good?
773
01:02:14,952 --> 01:02:16,052
Yeah.
774
01:02:16,085 --> 01:02:17,588
Okay.
775
01:02:17,621 --> 01:02:18,922
Alright, what are they...
776
01:02:18,956 --> 01:02:20,023
- Still haven't called.
- No? Okay.
777
01:02:20,056 --> 01:02:20,724
That's okay.
778
01:02:20,759 --> 01:02:22,693
They get busy you know, it's...
779
01:02:22,726 --> 01:02:25,027
- They're gonna call. What time is it?
- Yeah.
780
01:02:25,061 --> 01:02:27,597
It's a little after 2:00.
781
01:02:27,630 --> 01:02:28,565
Nick.
782
01:02:30,233 --> 01:02:31,268
Pick it up.
783
01:02:36,306 --> 01:02:37,440
Hello?
784
01:02:39,643 --> 01:02:41,445
Yeah, yeah, this is him.
785
01:02:48,284 --> 01:02:49,353
I understand.
786
01:02:52,588 --> 01:02:54,925
And that's your final decision?
787
01:03:00,130 --> 01:03:01,197
Okay.
788
01:03:03,132 --> 01:03:08,005
Alright, yeah.
Okay. You too.
789
01:03:14,746 --> 01:03:15,612
Well?
790
01:03:18,014 --> 01:03:19,382
I'm gonna fight.
791
01:03:19,416 --> 01:03:22,619
Oh, you got me.
792
01:03:25,222 --> 01:03:26,523
You got me.
793
01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:33,463
- Oh, my gosh.
- We've got to get to work right away, hm?
794
01:03:33,496 --> 01:03:35,398
- Yeah.
- Look familiar?
795
01:03:39,603 --> 01:03:41,237
Go say something.
796
01:03:51,815 --> 01:03:52,983
Excuse me.
797
01:03:54,650 --> 01:03:56,385
You're Notorious Nick Newell!
798
01:03:58,222 --> 01:04:00,324
Yeah, so I've been told.
799
01:04:00,356 --> 01:04:01,358
What's your name?
800
01:04:01,391 --> 01:04:02,793
I'm Eli.
801
01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:05,195
Eli.
Well, nice to meet you, Eli.
802
01:04:05,228 --> 01:04:06,396
Nice to meet you, too.
803
01:04:07,530 --> 01:04:09,666
Look, Eli...
804
01:04:11,335 --> 01:04:12,670
I'm fighting
for the championship.
805
01:04:12,704 --> 01:04:16,005
- Wow.
- Yeah, it's pretty cool, right?
806
01:04:17,340 --> 01:04:20,177
- Wanna come to a fight?
- Mom can I?
807
01:04:20,210 --> 01:04:21,277
Yes.
808
01:04:21,311 --> 01:04:22,478
Awesome.
809
01:04:23,614 --> 01:04:25,315
You do any
fighting yourself?
810
01:04:25,349 --> 01:04:28,050
- Nah, I'm a baseball pitcher.
- Okay, cool.
811
01:04:28,085 --> 01:04:29,585
But I'm not a very good one.
812
01:04:30,621 --> 01:04:31,722
Yeah? Why is that?
813
01:04:31,755 --> 01:04:33,724
Is something
wrong with your eyes?
814
01:04:38,795 --> 01:04:40,563
Do you love baseball, Eli?
815
01:04:41,398 --> 01:04:43,099
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
816
01:04:43,835 --> 01:04:45,202
Then stick with it.
817
01:04:46,838 --> 01:04:50,340
You know, someone once told me
that if you love something
818
01:04:50,373 --> 01:04:51,608
you may have to work
twice as hard
819
01:04:51,641 --> 01:04:54,746
as everyone else,
but it's worth it.
820
01:04:56,612 --> 01:04:57,614
Don't you ever give up.
821
01:04:59,449 --> 01:05:01,184
I believe in you.
822
01:05:02,152 --> 01:05:03,186
Alright?
823
01:05:04,153 --> 01:05:05,289
Alright.
824
01:05:05,322 --> 01:05:06,422
It was nice to meet you guys.
825
01:05:06,456 --> 01:05:07,490
I'll see you at the fight, okay.
826
01:05:07,523 --> 01:05:08,358
- I'll see you there.
- Alright.
827
01:05:15,498 --> 01:05:18,501
Yeah! Up, up, up, up.
828
01:05:18,534 --> 01:05:19,836
Pull, pull, pull.
829
01:05:19,871 --> 01:05:21,371
Do you want it?
You've got to take it, man.
830
01:05:21,405 --> 01:05:22,371
You've got to take it.
831
01:05:22,405 --> 01:05:24,106
Stay active.
832
01:05:24,141 --> 01:05:25,641
Keep working, keep working.
833
01:05:26,811 --> 01:05:28,210
Grind!
834
01:05:30,414 --> 01:05:33,784
Yep, yep, yep. Yep.
835
01:05:33,818 --> 01:05:36,119
Alright. Alright, alright,
settle, settle.
836
01:05:37,387 --> 01:05:38,521
No worries.
837
01:05:38,554 --> 01:05:40,824
Just stay calm, breathe easy.
838
01:05:40,858 --> 01:05:44,561
What's our transition?
Our transition.
839
01:05:44,594 --> 01:05:46,898
We need to transition
into omoplata. Alright?
840
01:05:46,931 --> 01:05:48,297
Yeah.
841
01:05:48,331 --> 01:05:49,231
Okay, alright,
let me show you.
842
01:05:51,434 --> 01:05:52,769
Alright, come here.
843
01:05:54,806 --> 01:05:57,173
Alright, so you've got him
in a triangle.
844
01:05:57,206 --> 01:05:59,376
- Yeah.
- Huh, lock your arm back here.
845
01:05:59,409 --> 01:06:03,347
Alright, so if you can't finish
the triangle past your left leg,
846
01:06:03,380 --> 01:06:06,215
over his head like this.
Sit up in omoplata.
847
01:06:06,248 --> 01:06:08,418
- Huh? Now he's done.
- Just crank right there?
848
01:06:08,452 --> 01:06:10,855
Yup, right here. You got it?
849
01:06:10,887 --> 01:06:12,556
Questions, comments, concerns?
850
01:06:12,588 --> 01:06:13,824
No.
851
01:06:13,858 --> 01:06:15,192
Your turn.
852
01:06:19,563 --> 01:06:21,666
- Okay, there's triangle.
- Yup, triangle.
853
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,670
- So when he goes to defend it...
- Uh-huh.
854
01:06:26,737 --> 01:06:28,304
Trap the arm.
855
01:06:29,706 --> 01:06:31,307
Yes, that's it.
856
01:06:31,340 --> 01:06:33,376
Yep, you got it, great job.
857
01:06:33,409 --> 01:06:36,579
You got it.
That's good. Nice job.
858
01:07:36,807 --> 01:07:39,342
Elbow, hook, elbow, hook.
859
01:07:39,376 --> 01:07:41,311
Elbow, hook.
Elbow, hook.
860
01:07:41,344 --> 01:07:43,880
Alright. Okay, that's it.
861
01:07:44,748 --> 01:07:45,717
Alright, take a seat.
862
01:07:46,884 --> 01:07:48,452
Alright, listen to me.
863
01:07:49,585 --> 01:07:51,353
You need to have
patience tonight.
864
01:07:51,387 --> 01:07:52,621
Believe in the game plan.
865
01:07:52,657 --> 01:07:54,391
Don't blow all your energy
866
01:07:54,423 --> 01:07:56,027
in one big adrenaline dump.
867
01:07:56,059 --> 01:07:57,829
Trust that you did
all you could do
868
01:07:57,862 --> 01:08:00,429
to get ready
for this fight. Huh?
869
01:08:00,463 --> 01:08:03,467
And I want you to know,
that no matter what happens tonight,
870
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:04,768
I couldn't be prouder of you.
871
01:08:06,737 --> 01:08:08,505
Questions, comments, concerns?
872
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:12,777
Thank you, Coach.
873
01:08:14,610 --> 01:08:16,246
Thank you for everything.
874
01:08:33,395 --> 01:08:36,967
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I'm the champ!
875
01:08:37,001 --> 01:08:38,635
I'm the champ, it's my time!
876
01:08:38,668 --> 01:08:41,972
Let's go! Whoo! Yeah!
Hell, yeah!
877
01:08:56,619 --> 01:08:58,287
I fear no man.
878
01:09:01,692 --> 01:09:03,460
No beast or evil.
879
01:09:18,775 --> 01:09:20,043
It's time, Nick.
880
01:09:37,127 --> 01:09:39,429
It's a big night
at the XFC arena,
881
01:09:39,462 --> 01:09:42,033
as Nick Newell facing off
against Rich Reynolds
882
01:09:42,065 --> 01:09:43,768
for the lightweight
championship belt.
883
01:09:43,801 --> 01:09:45,036
Yeah, this should be
a great one.
884
01:09:45,069 --> 01:09:49,039
Newell is talented,
but Reynolds is an animal.
885
01:09:49,073 --> 01:09:52,143
He might be a little bit too polished
and experienced though for Newell.
886
01:09:52,176 --> 01:09:54,979
Well, we'll see, it's a championship
match that means five rounds.
887
01:09:55,011 --> 01:09:56,948
Yeah, and Newell
is a big underdog in this one.
888
01:09:56,980 --> 01:09:59,884
Most experts think that he won't
even make it out of that first round.
889
01:10:23,106 --> 01:10:24,541
Hey, it's time.
890
01:10:55,907 --> 01:10:57,675
Mom, Mom, there he is!
891
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:16,961
Tape.
892
01:11:22,166 --> 01:11:25,836
Cup. Mouthpiece.
Extra mouthpiece.
893
01:11:32,909 --> 01:11:33,877
You understand the rules?
894
01:11:34,979 --> 01:11:36,113
Have a good fight.
895
01:12:12,949 --> 01:12:15,920
Ladies and gentlemen,
896
01:12:15,953 --> 01:12:21,557
welcome to the XFC
World Championship Event.
897
01:12:21,591 --> 01:12:25,627
And now the moment
you have all been waiting for.
898
01:12:25,662 --> 01:12:30,600
With a professional record
of eight wins, no losses,
899
01:12:30,632 --> 01:12:35,773
the Notorious Nick Newell.
900
01:12:40,211 --> 01:12:42,612
And from the other corner,
901
01:12:42,645 --> 01:12:46,050
the XFC's Lightweight Champion
of the World,
902
01:12:46,082 --> 01:12:49,819
with an undefeated record
of 16-0,
903
01:12:49,854 --> 01:12:53,690
it's Rich "It's a Wrap"
Reynolds.
904
01:12:59,863 --> 01:13:01,164
- You ready?
- Yeah.
905
01:13:01,198 --> 01:13:02,631
Have a good fight.
906
01:13:03,701 --> 01:13:04,634
You ready?
907
01:13:05,269 --> 01:13:06,670
Have a good fight.
908
01:13:22,787 --> 01:13:25,322
Okay, guys, let's have
a good clean fight.
909
01:13:25,355 --> 01:13:27,992
Tap gloves, and go back
to your corners.
910
01:13:28,024 --> 01:13:30,261
Let me show you what
a real fighter's about, chump.
911
01:13:31,127 --> 01:13:32,162
Hey.
912
01:13:32,195 --> 01:13:34,596
Oh, no love loss
between these two.
913
01:13:34,631 --> 01:13:36,734
The crowd is really
looking forward to this fight.
914
01:13:36,766 --> 01:13:38,269
I just hope Newell
can hang in there long enough
915
01:13:38,301 --> 01:13:39,270
to give them
their money's worth.
916
01:14:07,297 --> 01:14:09,300
Remember, patience, Nick.
917
01:14:09,332 --> 01:14:11,234
Stay clear of his right hand.
Wear him out!
918
01:14:16,372 --> 01:14:17,606
You ready?
919
01:14:18,274 --> 01:14:19,909
You ready?
920
01:14:19,944 --> 01:14:21,644
Fight.
921
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,429
Wow, Newell in trouble
almost immediately.
922
01:14:38,462 --> 01:14:40,864
One clean blow from Reynolds,
and this could be the end.
923
01:14:48,372 --> 01:14:50,807
Don't panic!
Remember what we practiced!
924
01:15:37,854 --> 01:15:40,224
Break it up, break it up. Break it up.
925
01:15:45,762 --> 01:15:48,865
Nick. Nick, Nick.
926
01:15:48,899 --> 01:15:51,268
Play our game,
don't play his game.
927
01:15:51,301 --> 01:15:52,869
You've got to
stay out of his reach
928
01:15:52,903 --> 01:15:54,003
until he throws a punch,
929
01:15:54,037 --> 01:15:55,838
then go in
and hit him with a combo.
930
01:15:55,872 --> 01:15:57,875
Alright?
If he takes you down again,
931
01:15:57,908 --> 01:15:58,841
stay off your back!
932
01:15:58,876 --> 01:16:00,411
You're exerting too much energy.
933
01:16:00,444 --> 01:16:02,746
Newell looks spent
after just one round.
934
01:16:02,779 --> 01:16:05,082
Yeah, the champ is putting on
tremendous pressure on Newell.
935
01:16:05,114 --> 01:16:06,850
I'd be surprised to see
the end of round two.
936
01:16:22,932 --> 01:16:24,268
Ooh, a hard right
to Reynolds' head.
937
01:16:27,438 --> 01:16:29,872
Another right
to the champ's head!
938
01:16:41,952 --> 01:16:43,453
The champ is down!
939
01:16:43,487 --> 01:16:44,921
Take him down!
940
01:16:44,954 --> 01:16:46,090
Get off the ground, Richie!
941
01:16:47,957 --> 01:16:49,193
Come on, Nick!
942
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,250
It's over now, Reynolds has him
in his patented leg lock.
943
01:17:13,283 --> 01:17:16,220
Newell is gonna have to tap here or
he is in for some serious damage.
944
01:17:16,252 --> 01:17:17,921
Get out of it, Nick,
get out of it!
945
01:17:20,189 --> 01:17:21,557
You can do it, Nick!
946
01:17:21,591 --> 01:17:23,159
He's going to roll, Rich!
947
01:17:28,265 --> 01:17:30,967
Come on, come on, come on.
Hang tight, Nick, come on.
948
01:17:31,001 --> 01:17:33,136
The round's almost over.
Come on, hang on!
949
01:17:35,471 --> 01:17:37,106
Fifteen seconds!
950
01:17:41,645 --> 01:17:43,814
You got him.
You got him, just hold on.
951
01:17:54,891 --> 01:17:58,862
Newell is limping badly,
he's got 60 seconds to recover.
952
01:17:58,895 --> 01:18:00,130
Not sure that's gonna be
enough time.
953
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,275
How's the leg, son?
954
01:18:14,110 --> 01:18:15,412
I'm good to go.
955
01:18:17,146 --> 01:18:18,515
Does that hurt?
956
01:18:20,149 --> 01:18:21,284
No.
957
01:18:23,153 --> 01:18:26,189
Alright. Good luck.
958
01:18:33,063 --> 01:18:35,164
I didn't come this far to lose.
959
01:18:39,203 --> 01:18:41,471
Just tell me if you can't go on.
960
01:18:43,707 --> 01:18:46,542
- I can win this.
- I believe you.
961
01:18:46,577 --> 01:18:49,113
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick...
962
01:18:49,145 --> 01:18:53,050
Hear that? They believe you, too.
963
01:19:05,996 --> 01:19:08,097
Well, we know who the crowd
is rooting for.
964
01:19:08,131 --> 01:19:10,567
Yeah, Newell had a hard time
getting sanctioned for this fight,
965
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:15,104
but he's shown today that he is a
true warrior, no one can deny that.
966
01:19:15,139 --> 01:19:17,440
Yeah, no doubt, but I'm not sure
how much longer this can go on for.
967
01:19:49,539 --> 01:19:51,307
Wrestle, Nick, wrestle!
968
01:19:52,275 --> 01:19:54,377
Wrestle, goddammit!
969
01:20:08,257 --> 01:20:11,228
My God, Newell has Reynolds
in a rear naked choke!
970
01:20:11,261 --> 01:20:12,962
That came out of nowhere!
971
01:20:14,564 --> 01:20:16,099
Come on, Nick, you can do it!
972
01:20:18,435 --> 01:20:21,137
Hold on. Hold on!
973
01:20:23,172 --> 01:20:25,007
You've got him, Nick!
974
01:20:25,042 --> 01:20:27,144
Come on, come on, choke him out,
Nick, come on!
975
01:20:27,176 --> 01:20:30,113
He may have this,
Reynolds can't break the hold.
976
01:20:34,051 --> 01:20:35,752
He's done, you're done.
977
01:20:35,787 --> 01:20:39,021
That's it! The fight is over!
978
01:20:40,256 --> 01:20:42,292
Yeah!
979
01:20:43,060 --> 01:20:43,795
Ah!
980
01:20:43,828 --> 01:20:45,529
Yeah!
981
01:20:45,561 --> 01:20:48,631
Oh! Whoo!
982
01:20:51,735 --> 01:20:53,302
This is unbelievable!
983
01:20:53,337 --> 01:20:56,640
Newell won,
he actually won the fight!
984
01:21:04,815 --> 01:21:09,286
You've just witnessed one of the
greatest upsets in sports history!
985
01:21:09,854 --> 01:21:11,454
Oh, my God!
986
01:21:11,488 --> 01:21:14,358
Oh, my God! Oh, my...
987
01:21:14,390 --> 01:21:16,761
That's my son! That's my boy!
988
01:21:20,596 --> 01:21:22,533
Yes, yes, yes!
989
01:21:25,301 --> 01:21:29,439
Unbelievable!
There are no words to describe this!
990
01:21:33,609 --> 01:21:35,078
Mom, can I go?
991
01:21:36,345 --> 01:21:40,050
You did it! You did it!
Yes! Whoo!
992
01:22:01,137 --> 01:22:04,507
We did it. You did it, it's yours.
It's yours.
993
01:22:15,152 --> 01:22:16,252
Ladies and gentlemen,
994
01:22:16,286 --> 01:22:18,255
your new XFC champion,
995
01:22:18,287 --> 01:22:20,591
Notorious Nick Newell.
996
01:22:43,715 --> 01:22:45,414
Abi, we did it.
997
01:23:00,197 --> 01:23:03,367
I don't think my story is any
more special than anyone else.
998
01:23:03,399 --> 01:23:05,737
You know, um, the truth is,
999
01:23:05,770 --> 01:23:08,404
you know, I am a one-handed guy
and I had these problems,
1000
01:23:08,438 --> 01:23:10,340
and I had these obstacles,
and I overcame them
1001
01:23:10,373 --> 01:23:12,743
to become something and make
something out of myself.
1002
01:23:12,777 --> 01:23:15,511
His just... his internal drive.
1003
01:23:15,545 --> 01:23:17,413
He wanted to be the best,
1004
01:23:17,447 --> 01:23:19,649
he wanted to be...
He wanted to improve.
1005
01:23:19,684 --> 01:23:21,350
He fell in love with the sport.
1006
01:23:21,385 --> 01:23:22,920
Uh, I can remember
when he called me and said,
1007
01:23:22,953 --> 01:23:23,887
"Oh, I started training MMA,"
1008
01:23:23,921 --> 01:23:25,689
and I was like "What the...
What are you doing?"
1009
01:23:25,722 --> 01:23:28,291
It all actually happened.
It's not like he made it up.
1010
01:23:28,324 --> 01:23:30,359
You know, and if anybody
thinks it's fake,
1011
01:23:30,394 --> 01:23:32,462
they can come to Connecticut
and come to his gym
1012
01:23:32,496 --> 01:23:34,230
and look on the wall
and see the belt.
1013
01:23:34,264 --> 01:23:35,966
It is main event time.
1014
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,337
"Notorious" Nick Newell versus
"It's a Wrap" Eric Reynolds.
1015
01:23:40,369 --> 01:23:44,341
We are set for five rounds.
The championship at 155 pounds.
1016
01:23:44,373 --> 01:23:48,912
Southpaw start, as always,
for Notorious Nick Newell.
1017
01:23:48,945 --> 01:23:50,948
He starts off
with some solid leg kicks, Pat.
1018
01:23:50,981 --> 01:23:53,417
Newell said he worked a
lot on his kicks for this fight.
1019
01:23:54,886 --> 01:23:56,353
He'll try to muscle his way
1020
01:23:56,386 --> 01:23:58,354
and get Eric Reynolds
onto his back.
1021
01:23:58,387 --> 01:24:00,489
There's a high left round kick
from Nick Newell.
1022
01:24:00,524 --> 01:24:02,726
Overhand right from Newell
and Reynolds fires back
1023
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,327
with a right hand of his own.
1024
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:05,863
High left round kick
from Newell.
1025
01:24:08,364 --> 01:24:10,967
Newell tries to
catch the kicking leg.
1026
01:24:11,002 --> 01:24:12,770
He's trying to lock onto
his arm there.
1027
01:24:12,804 --> 01:24:14,771
He's got it locked,
let's see what he does with it.
1028
01:24:14,805 --> 01:24:16,372
Come on, Nick!
1029
01:24:16,405 --> 01:24:18,442
Oh, suplex!
1030
01:24:18,475 --> 01:24:20,912
Oh, it's a back suplex there
from Nick Newell.
1031
01:24:20,944 --> 01:24:23,447
This is where Nick Newell
is so good.
1032
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,582
There's the arm
under the chin now.
1033
01:24:25,614 --> 01:24:28,585
The hooks are in
for Notorious Nick Newell.
1034
01:24:28,618 --> 01:24:30,787
Is he on his way
to a world championship?
1035
01:24:30,822 --> 01:24:32,389
This is where it's an advantage
1036
01:24:32,421 --> 01:24:33,791
because he can't get
hand control
1037
01:24:33,824 --> 01:24:35,324
on that shorter arm.
1038
01:24:35,358 --> 01:24:36,793
He's pulling down
on the gloved hand,
1039
01:24:36,828 --> 01:24:38,261
but that's already trapped.
1040
01:24:38,295 --> 01:24:40,529
Reynolds in trouble!
1041
01:24:40,564 --> 01:24:41,865
- Reynolds taps out!
- That's it, that's it!
1042
01:24:41,899 --> 01:24:44,634
It's goodnight, Irene!
1043
01:24:44,668 --> 01:24:47,872
The fairy tale comes true!
1044
01:24:47,904 --> 01:24:50,807
Winner blue,
tap out, by rear naked choke.
1045
01:24:50,841 --> 01:24:55,278
Nick Newell is the XFC champion!
1046
01:24:55,311 --> 01:24:58,547
A standing ovation
here in Nashville!
1047
01:24:58,582 --> 01:24:59,783
Nice fight, brother.
1048
01:24:59,817 --> 01:25:02,019
