I found this heartwarming and fascinating series to stream, and I'm so happy that I did. This series follows a blue-collar group of trainees led by an affable coach building up their core fighting skills for MMA tournaments. It's a reality fly on the wall documentary series thankfully without any histrionics, as we see the young set of fighters show us their mettle and growing confidence and friendship found within this environment.
One of the key stories is the surprising and fascinating story of Thomas, a deaf fighter who is working his way up to make it as a professional. Being in the ring is tough enough without that condition, but to him it's just an inconvenience, and it's wonderful to watch the ups & downs he goes through with his mentor.
It's a fascinating and engrossing trip, and I admit that despite NOT being into MMA whatsover but admit this series has really made me reassess that view and respect it all a lot more.
I'd really recommend this series. After all the cod-reality documentaries that seem to pollute the streaming services (especially on Netflix) it's great to watch this down to earth series, which I feel deserves more praise and attention.
