Today we have prepared for you trailers of as many as three sports dramas, dedicated to mixed martial arts, and more narrowly, MMA fights.
MMA drama called "Huracan" (Huracan) filmed in the UK by Studio Soho back in 2019. Since then, the drama has been making its rounds at film festivals.
The film was directed and written by Cassius Corrigan, who had previously shot exclusively short films. By the way, he played the main role.
The story follows Alonso Santos as he struggles to become a true professional in mixed martial arts. But what few people know is that outside the ring, Alonso struggles with dissociative identity disorder, which manifests itself in his frighteningly aggressive alternate personality, Huracan. Before the most important fight of his life, Santos turns to therapist Isabella, who tries to help him.

The second film is called "Combat readiness" (Embattled), which was shot by a Russian director for American studios Nikolay Sarkisov ("Red") according to the script David McKenna, famous for crime drama "American History X" (1998)
Synopsis: Mixed martial artist Cash was raised by an abusive father and channeled all his aggression into MMA. This bore fruit: he became a champion, earned wealth and fame. But Cash gives in and distances himself from his family as much as possible when his youngest son is born with Williams syndrome. Because of this, the eldest son named Jett, who is going to follow in his father’s footsteps, becomes Quinn’s guardian. But on this path he will face not only the difficulties and harsh training of his father, but also the parent himself in the ring.

Let’s finish today’s selection with a project from Ukraine called "Blindfolded" (in European version Blindfold).
The film was written and directed by Taras Dron (“DZIDZIO: First time”). For some time now, the drama, as they say, has been “rolling” around film festivals and the official release date is still unknown.
Synopsis: Yulia is a young martial artist who lost her fiancé in the war. The girl quits sports and starts a new relationship in order to free herself from the role of the widow of a war hero that society imposes on her.
