Hector is then given a dream come true opportunity to go up against the MMA World Champion; a vicious fighter whose last opponent is in critical condition in the same hospital as his son.

on Cinco de Mayo.

Can talk this over with my wife?

Of course, the wife is very important

to any deal.

Look, I'll give you my card.

I'll expect your call tomorrow.

I really do hope

you'll join us, Mr. Chavez,

- I'm sure you'll go far.

- Thank you, thank you.

Goodnight, Mr. Chavez.

Wow!

This is the first exclusive look

at Hector Chavez,

the new contender of the current

world MMA champion,

Cage the Destroyer Fury.

The fight is set to take place

on Cinco de Mayo

in LA, California.

Joining us via satellite

is the Champ, Cage Fury.

- Thanks for joining us today.

- My pleasure.

Alright, well you have had

a truly amazing career,

You're known as one

of the most vicious finishers

in all of the MMA

and you've knocked out a total

of 45 separate opponents.

I mean you truly are the Destroyer.

So I'm really curious,

what are your predictions

for this upcoming fight?

My predictions for this fight are

I'm gonna send the wetback,

back to Mexico in a body bag.

My prediction is war. Death.

- I'm sorry.

- One second, honey.

- Yes?

- I'm Hector Chavez,

my son was rushed here in an emergency.

His name is Martin

and my wife's is Gia Chavez.

Let me check, honey.

I'm sorry, what was your name?

- Hector Chavez.

- Oh!

Aren't you the guy fighting

in all those videos?

That's why you look so familiar.

Your name's been all over the news.

Did you say all over the news?

Yes, now are you really

going to fight this Cage Fury?

He's a beast,

you better be careful, boy.

- Your family is in room 223.

- Thanks.

How's he doing?

He has to be operated on by next week.

It's okay, we're going to be fine.

I got some good news.

That you're going to fight

the Cage Fury?

- How did you know?

- How do I know?

It's been all over the news,

how could you accept it

without consulting me first?

They did offer me the fight,

but I didn't accept yet.

So everybody is lying, then.

I don't know, baby,

maybe they jumped the gun.

They did offer me

the fight but I told them

I have to talk to you first.

Hector, I've been thinking about this,

and this is crazy.

You've fought 8 times

in the last two months

for a lousy 200 dollars a fight.

Look at your face.

He's going to kill you.

I'm not going to sit here

and watch my son die and you die too.

You have to at least et me try.

I won't be part of your death, Hector.

Look baby, it's our only way out.

I have a bad feeling about this fight.

Mr. Chavez, wait!

Do you mind signing an autograph for me?

I'm a big fan of MMA, I love the sport,

I watch every fight.

Of course not.

And that's for Tairrie.

T, A, I, R, R, I, E.

And you can put something like,

"To the Beautiful Nurse."

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Thank you...

- Thank you.

Now you better be careful

and protect that cute little butt.

I know I haven't been here in a while.

A long while.

But I don't know who to turn to.

I need your help.

I need your help badly.

Please, God, tell me what to do.

Hector? I'm back here.

Man, you scared the heck out of me.

Took you long enough

to show up in church.

What is it, one year? Ha.

Is everything okay? Why are you here?

Well, Martin is in the hospital,

he needs surgery right away.

Listen, they offered me

to fight Cage Fury,

the MMA World Champion,

$100,000 in three weeks.

Whoa.

Of course my wife doesn't want me

to do it, but I have to do it.

It's the only way out for me.

You have to do it.

Gia doesn't want you to?

No.

Well, you have to understand

that she loves you.

She doesn't want to see hurt.

Nobody does Hector.

But you have to do what you have to do.

And she'll be there waiting for you.

She'll back you 100%

and I will too, always.

Thank you.

What else did you come to ask me?

I was wondering if you could

help me train for the fight?

Yeah, I'll train you.

But you have to work really hard.

I don't want you to get hurt.

You have to do everything I say.

- First you gotta pray.

- Yes, sir.

I knew you'd say that.

To you. You know

you're a very attractive woman?

- I'm glad you think so.

- Do you know what this is?

- What?

- That's the Virginia state seal.

More presidents come from Virginia

than any other state.

- I come from Virginia.

- So do I.

That's something we have in common then.

Yeah, Mr. Hector Chavez.

Well, that's a very dynamic decision,

Mr. Hector Chavez.

We'll call you tomorrow

about the signing of the agreement.

Congratulations, Challenger.

Your fight is official,

Champ, here here!

Good. I want your guys to get

as much dirt as they can on him.

I want this to be

the fight of the century.

Consider it done.

I'm gonna take this Mexican

on a ride to hell.

You're so mean, papi.

You're so bad!

Oh, God, I'm going to be late.

Uh, babe, hey listen.

I wanted ask you.

Could you just lend me

a little bit of money,

maybe like 300 bucks?

- What is it for?

- Just some business.

Something came up.

You know I'm good for it.

- I'll pay you back.

- Look,

you already owe me $1,000

you'd give me it back

three poker games ago.

I know. Babe, this time it's different.

I can feel it, I can feel it this time.

I'm going to win!

I've been playing this game

since I was 13 years old,

you gotta trust me,

this is my jackpot, okay?

I promise you I'm going to win.

I don't care about the money.

All I care about is you.

So promise me that this is

going to be the last time.

I promise, Maria. I love you.

Alright, I promise, last time.

- Take it.

- Thank you.

Though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I shall fear no evil

for Thou art with me always.

Thy rod and Thy staff,

they comfort me.

I believe in God the Father Almighty,

creator of heaven and earth

and in Jesus Christ,

His only son our Lord.

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the virgin Mary...

And life everlasting, amen.

Good time, Champ. Looking good.

Mean!

That a'boy, Champ. Nice!

Not bad, not bad, compadre.

Ha.

What do you want?

You finally hit the big times

and you ask me what I want?

- What the hell do you want?

- Shut up, midget!

I'm not talking to you.

When I say "sh*t" then you talk.

Yeah, homie,

finally got a big break.

Hope you're not going

to forget your old friends.

Hector!

Now here is the deal,

I want you to wear our gang colors

on your shorts.

Secondly,

you come work for us now.

Look, Mando,

I never gave you or any

of you guys any trouble, okay?

I always earn my living honestly.

So I'm going to ask you respectfully

to leave me alone please.

Respectfully?!

This isn't respectfully, bullshit.

Now you listen, and you listen good!

Hector!

- Drop the gun.

- Let him go.

- Drop it!

- Let him go!

Drop the gun, drop it!

What's going on here?

What's going on?

Nothing, Mando just stopped to say hi.

They're leaving now.

Hello, Mando, nice of you

to finally come to church.

- F*** you, priest!

- Watch your mouth.

You're in the house of the Lord.

F*** you, Father. And f*** Jesus, too.
