Nice to see Ronda Rousey supporting Anonymous.
FIGHTVILLE is about the art and sport of fighting: a microcosm of life, a physical manifestation of that other brutal contest called the American Dream, where men are not born, but built through self determination, hard work and faith. It may be a myth, but in FIGHTVILLE, that’s what champions are made of.

"There’s something special about Dustin. He’s so hungry that we have to stop him from over-training sometimes. He’s so strict with his diet. I remember after one of my fights in Oklahoma, we were trying to get something to eat and everywhere we went didn’t have any healthy food. So, Dustin wouldn’t eat. He’s that dedicated. He’s without a doubt a future UFC champion."

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
— Teddy Roosevelt, The Man in the Arena

Fightville Filmmaker Came to Pull for UFC fighters
It’s not uncommon in documentary films for a director to remain emotionally attached to a subject long after the cameras stop rolling.
But Michael Tucker, the New York-based filmmaker who co-directed Fightville with Petra Epperlein, admits he has continued to follow the career of professional mixed martial arts fighter and Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight Dustin Poirier with something bordering on obsession.
Fightville shines a sympathetic light on the rough-and-tumble world of mixed martial arts, following the early careers of two fighters, a trainer and promoter in Louisiana.
Poirier, who Tucker calls the “star” of the film, has gone on to great success on the UFC circuit, where he’s ranked in the Top 5 of his weight class.

Fighting is a fiction, but that doesn’t make it less true.
Fighting, if not rage, is a culture, for boys and soldiers and entertaining warriors. They craft their heroic self-images carefully.

A movie may have gotten me into MMA
Well, it’s finally happened. A movie may have gotten me into MMA. It wasn’t Never Back Down or Redbelt, and it certainly wasn’t Randy Couture in The Expendables. I’d seen some of the real matches but the footage captured in the documentary Fightville actually articulated the nuance and grace of the format.
