The Hurt Business
takes the story well beyond the octagon fighting ring, detailing how the sport went from barbaric and banned, to a thriving part of mainstream culture.
With interviews with psychologists, neurologists, sociologists and government officials, the Business also analyzes the grim specter of brain trauma in the sport, and implications of it with MMA's increased popularity.
"I want to present a real look on the sport of MMA and its participants, showing the good and the ugly. No sugar coating," Yudin tells USA TODAY. "MMA became the fastest growing sport in the world in the last five years and yet not a lot is known about the actual athletes."

The film features interviews with the sports biggest stars, also including Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Georges St-Pierre, Kenny Florian, Urijah Faber, Ken Shamrock, Bas Rutten, and Josh Barnett.
An interview with Rousey, shot just before her infamous November UFC 193 match with Holm, shows her fully "confident" of victory (she then lost her first professional fight).
There is also plenty of MMA action in Business, and Yudin promises, there will be blood.
"The film doesn't just show athletes talking about fighting," says Yudin. "There is a lot of action as we follow characters closely as they pursue their lives and careers as fighters. "This is blood but also substance, seeing (MMA) fighters like never before, in moments of triumph and despair."

I love a good documentary.
I love MMA.
This looks bland and uninspired.

It's probably not intended for a junkie level fight fan. It's all kind of things we've known for a long time. But to the casual, this will probably be pretty eye opening.

how about Ronda at the weigh ins? if Ronda is fat what would you call Amy Schumer? or lets go bigger Rikki Lake? Rosie O'Donnell? Ronda has broader shoulders and frame than most females but i think her and Amy are far from 'fat'.
