Released after ten years, Dillon’s greeted by Jake, who lines him up with a job and introduces him to the world of minor league MMA fighting. Due to Jake’s outstanding gambling debt, Dillon agrees to three fights to cover it and literally save Jake’s life but finds himself caught between gangsters, dirty cops, a shady promoter, a snide parole officer and Jake’s disapproving sister. ??statmanjeffAwards: 1 winBudget: $5,000,000 (estimated)Soundtrack: Your Love Is Convenient (Written by Ian Honeyman and Mark Bates)
