I told you to watch your mouth.

What's the matter with you guys?

This isn't over, pretty boy.

Stay away from this priest,

you'll get your ass killed.

- How are you guys doing?

- We're okay. How are you?

Okay. I start training today.

I see.

Mr. and Mrs. Chavez,

I have Martin's latest test results.

I'm afraid he's too weak

to perform the surgery.

We need to build up his immune system,

his red blood cells,

and strengthen his body.

So we want to keep him here

to help him get stronger

and monitor his progress.

Then I think we can perform

the surgery May 5th.

Any problem with that date?

That's the earliest

the surgical team is available.

No, that's ok.

We'll do anything to make sure

the operation is a success.

It's going to cost more money.

You'll have to take it up

with our financial department.

We'll take care of it.

Thank you so much for your time.

Listen, I assure you

we will do everything we can

to get Martin safe and sound.

But you two take care of each other.

- Thank you, Doctor.

- Thank you.

Can we walk out?

Yes.

If we apply for unemployment

we can get $200 a month.

The hospital's financial aid department

can take care of the rest of the bills.

Why don't you let me figure this out first

before you go fighting this monster.

How many times have I told you?

I don't bother others with my problems.

I want to take care of my family myself.

I know how proud you are

and you've always taken

such good care of Martin and I,

but sometimes life steps all over you

and leaves you no way out.

And you have to accept help

from other people.

There's nothing wrong with that.

We have a way out and it's the fight.

Look, I know you're afraid,

so am I, okay?

- Then don't do it.

- I have to do it.

I have to do it for you.

I have to do it for Martin.

But we're lucky, we have a way out

and it's the fight.

You're gonna have to do this

one on your own.

I'm gonna have to do this alone?

I'm gonna have to do this alone.

I'm never gonna be alone.

You and Martin will always be within me.

Jose is helping me train.

And for the first time in my life,

there's people that love my fighting.

You can die giving people

what they love.

There lies Ronald Cash in a coma

he got from the beating

from the guy you are going to fight.

Hector, is this what

you're asking of us?

Martin an orphan and me

a widow, that's our future?

No, we have to do this.

Maybe this is a way out for us.

People can believe

there's a way out for them.

No Hector, they will wake up everyday

and do that same sh*t they always do.

Don't do this, please.

Where the hell is this guy?

Turn here.

That's the one who burnt your cousin?

- You got the wrong guy.

- No, you're the right b*tch.

I know one when I see one.

Come on, get up.

- Kill that motherf***er!

- Time to die, b*tch!

- The cops are coming!

- Vmonos, let's go!

Mr. Stone is ready to see you guys.

Mr. Hector Chavez, how nice to see you.

Nice seeing you, sir.

This is my right hand man, Steve White.

- Good to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

This is my right hand, Ian Raven.

Pleasure, sir. Sir, good to meet you.

We have your contract ready

if you'll just initial each page

and sign execute the last page,

we'll give you your deposit.

And now we're going to take you

out to our media launch room

for our pre-fight press conference.

- Congratulations, Challenger.

- Thank you.

And your deposit, Mr. Chavez. $30,000.

I have to say I'm a big fan of yours.

Thank you.

There's one caviot, if any pundit

brings up the issue

of your late selection,

we'll just say it was to preserve

the privacy of your family.

- Yes, sir.

- Let's put on a good show.

How's it feel big guy? 30g's.

I'm going to have to run out

just a minute earlier, ok?

- Are you kidding me?

- Champ,

you know I wouldn't ask

unless it was important.

You're going to be fine

and kill this thing. We made it!

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome...

to the launch press conference

of the 100th MMA heavy weight

championship of the world event.

This event, we are so excited about it

because we captured

the attention of LA community

and the hearts and minds of people

all over the world.

Right now, today we have

press from Japan,

Saudi Arabia, South Africa,

Russia, Malaysia, India.

Today we are one world

under the banner of ultimate

extreme combat today.

Give me one.

I'm going to start first

with the undisputed reigning,

physicist of pain,

the heavy weight mixed martial

arts champion of the world.

The indestructible force majeure,

Cage the Destroyer Fury!

And his challenger.

A man hailed

by the Latin-American community

as the people's champion.

Seized from the digital age,

up from the urban ethnic trenches.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you

Hector the Mexican Chavez!

I'm out.

All in.

Now, please,

let the press conference begin.

Fire up your questions.

Yes, the lady there.

You've had problems finding

an opponent for the Champ,

do you think Mr. Chavez

will pose any sort

of a challenge whatsoever?

Ma'am, we've studied Mr. Chavez's fights

very, very carefully and

I made my decision based

on what he's already proven,

which is substantial.

- Oh, got you.

- How's it feel?

- Yes, sir.

- Mr. Chavez, all due respect,

do you think you have

a shot against him?

Look, I know I have

only a few MMA fights,

but I've been fighting all my life.

And I'd have never taken this fight,

if I didn't know in my heart,

that I can win it.

What do you have to say to that, Champ?

I don't care who they put

in front of me,

I'm here to prove I'm king of this cage.

I'll fight anybody the organization

puts in front of me

and prove I'm the best

MMA fighter of all time.

Mr. Chavez, do you think

you'll even last one round?

I know I can go toe to toe

with the Champ all five rounds.

And I promise you guys

a fight you'll never forget.

Watch what you say, wetback.

I'm going to wipe that smirk

off your face.

When I leave you for dead.

Like your mom and dad left you

and your brother.

Just like you left your wife

and your sick kid.

Just like you left your family

when they needed you most.

No, no. Guys.

Leave it in the ring, boys.

Ladies and gentlemen, the thrills

and chills start right now.

This is ultimate extreme combat.

Coming up.

That was the incredible scene

at the press conference

with the fight scheduled May 5th,

between Hector the Mexican Chavez

and world heavy weight

champion Cage Fury,

who revealed that Chavez

and his brother

had been abandoned as children

and then alleged that Chavez

had left his own family

a wife and sick child,

when they supposedly

needed him the most.

- Mom?

- Yes, honey?

Did Dad leave us?

No, no baby. That's just lies

from a very bad man.

Your daddy loves us more then ever.

Is Dad going to fight the bad man?

I'm afraid so.

Don't worry Mom, my Dad is a superhero.

- He always wins.

- Yes, he does.

Hey, it's your man, Hector Chavez.
