Born a Champion

By the early ‘90s ex-Marine and Brazilian jiu-jitsu master Mickey Kelley (Sean Patrick Flanery, who co-scripted) had built global repute in the emerging MMA scene, but a brutal Dubai match against the dangerous Marco Blaine (Edson Barboza) pushed him into retirement. Five years later, evidence of Blaine’s having cheated--and the lure of a huge purse--brought Kelley back to the ring for revenge and redemption. Stirring sports story co-stars Katrina Bowden, Currie Graham, and Dennis Quaid. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
