    Excellent documentary. We were really lucky and Rosi came down to train with us a few times between Christmas and New Year and she is just awesome. Looking forwards to seeing her fight next.

    I actually thought it was a terrible doc, another BBC produced film that basically implied that the girls were being in some way bullied into fighting by their partners. They tried to portray Rosie as a bit of a sad case who had everything going for her and had been driven into fighting. Typical BBC,

    The only time i wouldn't mind being "mounted" and "ground & pounded" :thumb

    But i did see it and was impressed.
    especially with the english girl that won that tournament towards the end.

    i actually wathed this last night.. and i agree with all the points..

    I think it was good overall.. but i think they portrayed them wrong.. i think lisa and rosie did well, but again they werent portrayed as willing combatants as such (at least not fully) it did show some of the training/passion side of things well.

    overall i think its about a 7/10 but not sure how much 'help' it will be to uk mma and womens mma in general.

    i agree. it's a shame that the fighters and there coaches were portrayed in the light that they were. the way they represented fans of the sport was bad too. if u didn"t know much aboutt mma then i reckon people would have that the sport is bad. reminds me a bit of the ch 4 doc on kids muaythai that was on a while back.
