Product Description
Ringo Duran is one of the best fighters in the world; he just doesn t know it yet. Working two dead-end jobs and wasting away in amateur back-room cage matches, he dreams of becoming a professional fighter. When the Extreme Cage Fighting league announces a competition to discover the best unknown fighter, Ringo, pushed by his young manager and his sexy girlfriend Kara, reluctantly enters the cage. With old-school trainer Rafael, he embarks on an improbable, violent and bloody journey to prove once and for all that he s the best there is. With some of the best full-contact fighting sequences ever and starring UFC legends such as B.J. The Prodigy Penn and Rashad Sugar Evans, UNRIVALED is a spectacle of flesh-pounding, ruthless, jaw-dropping punishment unlike anything you've seen before.

Solidly Average MMA Movie
13 Mar 2010
Format:DVD
Unrivaled is about what you would expect from a straight-to-video action flick. The story is neither original nor inspiring, the dialogue is weak, and the fight scenes are just good enough to keep the movie afloat.
The only thing that really stands out about the film is the quality directing by Warren Sonoda. Good film work, editing and great lighting make for some decent visuals. The fight choreagraphy doesn't stand out. You're mostly treated to stand-up punching, a few kicks, and virtually no ground work until the film's end. All of the fights are set against hard rock, which works perfectly for the soundtrack.
Hector Echavarria does a terrible acting job as aging cage fighter Ringo Duran. Not to mention it's odd watching a guy that would be a Welterweight in the UFC giving a beating to Light Heavyweights like Rashad Evans and Keith Jardine. Only three or four cast members have any real film experience, including Al Sapienza (Mikey Palmice in The Sopranos).
Conveniently, Ringo Duran's second job is at a strip club, so there's more than a good bit of nudity in the film. Jordan Madley is painfully hot as Ringo's love interest Kara, as is Ashleigh Hubbard as the poetry-spouting pole dancer Pepper. But despite the hot women and cage matches, the movie is still predictable and not that exciting. Give this one a rent before you decide on buying the DVD.
