and cut this muscle off in half.

I was in so much pain.

And I went through it, you know.

In round first, second, third,

but in the fourth round

when I go to the corner,

your Uncle Jose was there.

I was ready to tell him, "Man,

I throw the towel, it's too much pain,

I can't take it, it's not worth it."

And right before I'm going to say it,

he looks at me and says

"You got this man, I love you."

And I felt like the whole world

was behind me.

And the bell ran and I turn around and

I see this guy

running at me like a train.

He keeps on coming and I'm waiting

and he's coming and when I get

right in front of him I punch him!

I'll never forget it,

he's flying in slow motion,

lands in the canvas

and I look around and

your Uncle Jose jumps

and hug me and says

"I told you you can do it."

And what I learned from that

is that you never give up.

And you'll never give up.

Cause I'm a champion

and you're a champion.

So you're going to be fine.

You're going to be fine, baby.

Very impressive, Mrs. Chavez.

You seem to be a little

over qualified for the job,

but I think I can hire you right away.

Thank you, Mr. White.

That's great, thank you.

You seem to really want to get this job.

Yes, my husband and I have

been out of work for months

and we're up to our neck

in bills and my son is...

Hey, come on.

I've been in difficult situations too.

I completely understand.

I'm sorry, I'm so nervous.

This job just means

the world to us, thank you.

You have nothing to be sorry

or nervous about.

I want you to know, if you help me out,

I'll help you out.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

Now that's what I want to hear.

How about showing me your gratitude and

giving me some...

special attention, huh?

You son of a b*tch!

My husband is a fighter and so am I.

Bastard.

The police has informed us

that Hernandez,

who in the last 6 months lost his job,

cars and homes, took a gun

and shot his two children,

his wife and then himself

around midnight last night.

Moving on the Dwayne "Storm"

Johnson with the weather.

Thank you, Biff.

For most of South California

the Santa Ana winds

have made a mess of things

everywhere last night...

Hey, Buddy.

Yes sir, what can I do for you?

I have a beauty here for you.

- Let me take a look at it.

- Look at that.

Oh, yeah that's nice.

- How much you asking?

- I don't know, maybe 500?

Okay, the best I can do is 200 dollars.

Look, I really need the money.

I have a sick kid right here.

I'm sorry. 200, that's it.

Okay, we'll take it.

Boss, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Spit it out.

Champs last opponent, Ronald Cash,

was found unconscious in his room

and is now in a coma.

Doctor thinks it might be due

to the beating from Cage.

The doctor thinks that maybe

Cash's injuries were caused

by the Champ's punishment.

Let me tell you something about doctors

they don't know each and every thing.

When my mother was pregnant with me,

they said I was a cyst.

They said they had to open her up

and removed me immediately.

Tell our PR department to wait

a respectable couple of hours

and then to announce

that Ultimate Extreme Combat

is going to have

a massive tribute benefit

to show our respect

in the only way that MMA knows how.

- I don't know...

- Listen,

warriors got to go to war,

the show must go on.

That's gonna cause a media sh*t storm.

And we're gonna shy

from the controversy?

That's what puts butts in the seats.

Shows got to have that narrative

to twirl the turn styles.

And besides, the Champ's supposed to

never fight again if Cash

doesn't come out of his coma.

Where have you guys been?

We were just in the park

having a great time and missing you.

How was your interview?

Not very good, I don't think

they're gonna ask me back.

That's okay, don't worry.

I sold Dad's gun...

so I was thinking maybe you and I can...

go out for a nice dinner,

what do you say?

- Where were you thinking?

- Well, something very fancy.

Maybe, we get a Big Mac

or something like that.

That sounds tempting, maybe tomorrow.

Okay, tomorrow.

Hey Ian, I haven't seen you in two days,

tomorrow's the fight,

you have to be there, okay?

- Hey, Champ.

- Ian?

I'm not going to be able

to make the fight tomorrow.

Maria's gonna go be there instead,

everything's gonna be great.

- Are you ok?

- Yeah, everything is good.

I wish you the best. See you soon.

Like I was saying, you little f***,

you have three days to get to 15 grand.

Three f***ing days, or you're dead.

That's gonna hurt.

Yeah!

Come on! Come on!

Oh, sh*t!

Yeah!

Oh, sh*t, this is fantastic.

Hey, I got to take care

of some business.

You guys wait here for me.

Come on, let's go.

Where's Tony?

We've been here for an hour.

This guy looks like a crook to me.

He's not a crook, he's a good friend.

I don't know, Hector.

I'm telling you, I trust this guy.

Hey!

I'm sorry I'm late, I had some things

to take care of.

- Great fight though.

- Thanks, Tony.

- Who's the girl?

- She's Ian's girlfriend,

don't worry about it.

Do you have my money?

What's with the attitude?

Come on, take your girl,

we'll go have a drink.

I don't want a drink.

I want my money,

we've been here for an hour.

I don't have your money right now.

You don't have my money?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

You're going to have to wait.

You motherf***er listen to me,

you get me the money now,

I need it now.

Who the hell do you think

you are talking to?

You son of a b*tch.

Are you f***ing playing with me?

- I want my money now!

- Roscoe! Jake!

You son of a b*tch.

Get the hell out of here.

Let's go.

I trusted you, motherf***er.

Hey, another great fight pretty boy.

Although my guy Juan says

he could still kick your ass.

So what do you say Champ,

you ready to go?

- Maybe another day, huh?

- What happened? You afraid?

Look, I just had a fight.

Another day for sure, huh?

Hey! I'm going to hold you

accountable, okay?

Are you Hector Chavez?

- Who are you?

- Are you Hector Chavez?

- Yes, who the f*** are you?

- Never mind who I am.

Somebody very important

wants to talk to you.

Mr. Hector Chavez...

Really, very nice to meet you.

I'm a big fan.

- My name is John...

- John Stone.

Why are you in a neighborhood like this?

I'm here to make you an offer

I think you'll find both

stimulating and profitable.

- And what is that?

- How would you like to fight

the champion of the world

in mixed martial arts

in our biggest event ever,

the 100 Mixed Martial Arts Colossus

right here, in beautiful Los Angeles?

- Is this a joke?

- No, of course not.

Look, you're a big star

in fighting on the web.

And that's how young people

connect these days.

So what would make greater sense

than to bring our biggest champion

against you,

the biggest star of the Internet?

- I don't know.

- We'd be willing to offer you

$100,000 to say yes.

Maybe that could help you

to get out of this place.

You fight in three weeks
