Badass Showdown

I manage fighters in

mixed martial arts matches

all over the world. I'm great at

it; not great for a

woman by the way, I'm

great at it legit. My fighters

make a lot of money and

they win championships.

Best trainers in the world

at my disposal... no, I have

a knack for finding the

fighters with heart and

more importantly with

brains. Most managers

think the fight game is

checkers; but I know it's all

chess. You have to be 10

moves ahead before the

match even starts. Simple

as that... People don't

know what to expect from

me, or my fighters, ever...

and it's just the way I like it.

Ha. Ha...

Ha. Ha...

Is this Ivy's place? I have a

recruitment letter... said to

come here... I'm Connor...

Um... am I... in the

right place?

You're early.

Oh... Umm... I can come

back I guess...

Your room is upstairs.

Just... Excuse me...

Hey, Sorry about the bag... I

didn't know what to expect

this weekend... my

girlfriend is always saying

pack more than she does...

You room's upstairs.

Oh... cool... Well,

thanks for your help man...

Hey, here for tryouts...

I'm in the right place, aren't

I?

I'm not looking for trouble.

You're early.

Don't think so... sorry if I

caused you any problem.

I'm Just excited for the

opportunity, you know.

I'm Mason, by the way.

Your room is upstairs.

Thanks, man... really

appreciate it.

What's your name?

Jimmy.

Jimmy, That's really cool,

You a trainer here, cause I

can tell, you got a lot of

fighting experience, I

really can.

Awesome... look

forward to working

with you...

Is this the place I'm

supposed to go to?

You're early.

Oh...

Your room is upstairs.

Thanks...

I'm Dustin.

You're early.

Ya well, Early bird gets the

worm, right?

Room is ready upstairs.

Alright, Thanks.

You the butler.

No.

Bummer.

You're late.

So.

Do I have a room? Or do I

have problem?

Your room's upstairs.

Good.

Come in!

So, they all made it.

Yes.

And?

Not very impressive.

They're all impressive, Jimmy.

It says so right here.

They're all pearls... I want

diamonds.

You still don't know what I'm

talking about, do you?

You see things your way,

I see them mine.

I respect you, you know that.

I wouldn't have hired

you otherwise.

I guess.

And you needed the money, as I

recall. You know that

injury like yours...

I know the story, Ivy, I've

done this dance with you

before. Just get to it.

Sorry, Jimmy. I know it's a sore

subject

I watched them come in on

the closed circuit.

Tell me what you think about

them as fighters.

Ha... Ha...

Connor...

...He's all about defense and

counters and looking

for his shot. Not very

aggressive,

but he's cagey, Some times

even surprising...

Not sure if he has an

instinct though...

You're right about that.

He's an over thinker. Not a

lot of confidence...

I'll have to see if he has

any we can mine.

Mason is a decent all-

round fighter. He's had

some interest from other

promoters, but he always

manages to screw it up.

Yeah, he's a glad-hander,

he plays people because

he's selfish... which isn't

necessarily a bad trait.

Tyler can take a lot of

punishment, nothing

seems to phase him and

he's strong.

He's hard to beat.

True... but I need someone

with an edge, not someone

whose skull is full of scar

tissue and tapioca.

These are the top MMA

prospects in the nation,

probably the world. There

are promoters who would

kill to have any one of

these guys.

Ah, but you keep forgetting

I'm not any promoter.

I know, Ivy, I'm just saying

you could make millions

with any one of these guys.

I know I could.

I don't want the top fighters;

I want the best fighters.

Dammit, Ivy...

Calm down, Jimmy... Only

playing with ya...

Your so easy to frustrate.

Dustin... Not the biggest

or the fastest or

the strongest, bit of a

mystery really. But he sure

has luck on his side.

Or just what I'm

looking for?

He'd be my last choice...

but there's something

about him.

Yes, there is...

Now, Hunter, he's the real

deal, amazing striker,

bone-breaking grappler.

He's undefeated.

He's cocky, I'll give him that.

Perfect.

We'll see about that...

yeah, this is an interesting

group.

Should I get them all

together?

No, not just yet. Burn off all

their nervous energy. I'll

talk to them later.

You really think all this

mystery stuff helps make

them better fighters, don't you?

Jimmy, I know a lot of

things. And if you opened

your mind, just a little bit,

you might learn something.

I don't know what you're

talking about.

I know.

This place is crazy... we

don't have anything like

this back home.

Where's home?

My mom's place.

How'd you find out about

this tryout?

My mom is my manager... She

said it might be good

for my career.

Good for your career? If

Ivy takes you on as a

fighter, This would make

your career. She already

has three world champions

in her stable.

Opportunity like this don't

come by every day.

Right... yeah... Do you

think she has any potato

chips? I love potato chips...

Right...

Hey, Coach Trainer.

Name is Jimmy. You

two follow me.

I want you to do this circuit

of reps in this order.

Wow this is... A lot...

You're here to try out for

Ivy Reed. You don't want

to do what she asks, you

can find the door.

No, no. We'll get

It done...

Yeah... we got this.

Good. I'll be checking back

in. I wouldn't slouch off.

Dude, We better get right to it.

This circuit's going

to take awhile.

Yeah, you're right.

Now, this is my kind of

workout. If only there was

some hot girl's here it

would be perfect.

Ivy's pretty hot in her own

way.

Forget that, I like 'em

young and dumb.

Sounds good to me.

Hey,

Hunter, saw your last few

fights; you're a monster,

man.

Tell me about it. I'm getting

tired of washing the other

persons blood off me.

You got this thing in the

bag, you know. I mean,

I'm OK, but you've got

golden boy

written all over you.

YA... My brother thinks Ivy

would be good for me.

She's good with the

endorsements. Stuff like that

And I want some of that

sweet commercial money.

There's plenty of other

Promoters though... might

offer a bit more than Ivy.

What do you mean?

I'm friends with Scotty K.

Scotty K. He offered me

contract awhile ago.

But I deserve more than

what he offering you know!

What if I could get if for

you?

What's your angle,

Mason?

Just stacking the

deck, Is all.

I'm going to talk to you

more about this later. You

just Became more

interesting.

Either one of you know

where Dustin is?

Is he the butler? Tell him

to get me a brew.

I think he went for a run on

the beach...

Camp's over for now,

ladies.

Do this circuit, laps and

callisthenics.

All of these?

Until I tell you to stop...

This is a tryout...

an audition, not play Time...

Alright we got it.

You're right. It is the

chance of a lifetime.

I'll be checking back in!

Alright we got it,

chief thank's.

Hey, Do We get to

meet Ivy later?

Just do the circuit. You'll
