Scott Voss (James) is a passionate but reckless biology teacher with a tardiness problem who is always trying to win a date with his beautiful colleague Bella (Hayek). When his buddy and fellow co-worker Marty Streb (Winkler) who teaches music is about to become unemployed because the schools lack of funds, Scott, who use to wrestle back in his school days, comes up with the idea of becoming a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter to raise the money to save Marty's job. He enlist the help of Niko (Rutten), an immigrant trying to gain US citizenship who's also a retired MMA fighter. Not knowing just what he was stepping into, Scott realizes that he is not only just in a fight to save Marty's job but also for his life.
Reel Talk:
James who you can certainly see that he physically conditioned himself for this film, brings some comedic boom to this action/comedy. He does not slack off with his hilarious brand of humor along with the additional help from co-stars Winkler, Hayek, Rutten and Gary Valentine. But besides the comedy the MMA fight scenes are pretty good. What MMA fight movie would be complete without adding commentator Joe Rogan who plays himself in this film. If you are in need of a good laugh see this movie, if you're in need of some action see this movie. You won't miss on either level.
