The Greatest MMA Documentary Ever Made
If you have never seen the MMA documentary Choke, you are missing
out on what is one of the most fascinating portrayals of the sport ever put to
the screen. The film was shot in
1995, back when the sport of MMA lived in relative obscurity. Featured in the film is none other than
BJJ and MMA legend Rickson Gracie.
Rickson, along with three other fighters, are followed as they prepare for
the Vale Tudo Japan tournament.
The tournament featured 8 fighters with no weight classes, and all of
the fights were fought in a single night.
In order to win, Rickson would have to win 3 fights in a single
night. The documentary ends with
one winner left standing.
