Like this guy is going out and doing what he can. It doesn't have to be necessarily to the death. It's self-sacrifice, really, in helping your friends. When you sacrifice, when you do these things, there is no greater love and it doesn't have to be so drastic. Even if it's not in the Bible, it's true. HG: You've talked about the MMA fighting in the movie being a metaphor, that your character was sacrificial… "He will lay down his life for his friends, which is the greatest love." That sounds very biblical. In hopes of and in doing that, he inspires all the students, which inspired the community. Then see what his sacrifice is… he is driven to give the ultimate sacrifice, which is to basically lay down his life for his friend.

By taking care of your own "home" and doing it like that, it has an effect on those around you. Only they can take control of what they do which, in fact, can inspire those around you in that it really has an effect on other people, how you act in a situation.

But I wanted to see more of Faber in it! He’s a legendary fighter and a former champ in World Extreme Cagefighting before the promotion merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), in which he was a perennial favorite he’s charming as hell he’s real cute and I kind of don’t know why you cast a mixed martial artist in a film in which they don’t then do mixed martial arts? It’s weird!įaber is the latest in a pretty steady stream of MMA fighters being cast in mainstream, fairly notable films, but I do think he’s the only one I’ve seen not actually fight, or at least be fight-adjacent.

Is retired MMA fighter Urijah Faber … really rocking fake tattoos, a faux-hawk, and one line of dialogue as a mercenary hired to capture a genetically modified 30-foot wolf?”
