Unrivaled Page #2

You two guys wanna fight,

there's the ring.

Relax, man.

It's just training.

See? That's the difference

between you and me.

Every fight's a title fight.

Watch it, Ringo.

Focus your punches, Alonso.

Target's right in front of you.

Focus your punches,

focus your punches.

Come on, Ringo.

Attaboy. There you go.

Get your range, get your range.

- Oh, man.

- It's on his arm.

I know.

All right, everybody,

let's get back to work here.

Training's over, old man.

And there ain't nothing

wrong with my focus.

All right, whatever.

You just let anybody into the gym?

The thing about Alonso's money

is it's much better than anybody else's

because he's actually got some.

Well, he's an animal.

Well, why don't you give him a run then?

Show him his place.

Tonight on "Torko" we cover

the Maximum Cage Warrior League

direct from New York.

Now joining us in studio

is the league's commissioner,

Brian Waite, alongside the undisputed,

undefeated champion of the world,

Christopher "The Pressure" Holland.

- You make that sound so nice.

- Okay.

Pressure Holland-- now there's

a real killer submission hold master.

Try to listen to this.

Brought Christopher along

to make the announcement.

Now Pressure here put

this organization on the map

and he is our brightest,

most brutally talented fighter.

- Isn't that right, Pressure?

- Please don't stop.

No, I'm just kidding.

But...

- What a cool guy.

- Don't let him fool you.

So you're looking

to discover the undiscovered.

That's right.

Today we're accepting applications

for the most incredible

elite competition

to find the greatest

undiscovered fighter in the world.

Our finalist will go up against a pro

for the title and an MCW contract--

that is if anyone thinks

they have what it takes.

Now correct me if I'm wrong,

but that pro would be yourself,

Christopher.

- Well, yeah.

- He's the best of the best over here.

- You kidding me?

- And I am the best, you know.

- And I will remain that way.

- There you have it.

That's why Alonso's back.

Alonso's trying to go pro?

Yeah. Know anybody else

who might be interested?

No? Thought not.

Okay, let's go.

No rest for the wicked.

Don't waste time in here.

Sometimes a fighter

brings his own fight.

Other times you gotta bring

that fight to the fighters.

When two wild animals

are locked up in a cage together,

sometimes that could make

a fighter more hungry.

Don't tell Ringo I snuck in again, okay?

My lips are sealed,

but only for a little while, sugar.

Do you believe in--

dest-- do you believe in destiny?

Yeah, I mean she's a great girl.

Yeah, she is.

No no, but I mean like fate.

I know, pumpkin.

I was just making a funny.

Look, listen, do you think

unless sometimes people are pushed

they'll never reach

their full potential?

Well, I think that you're reaching

your full potential right now

without doing any pushing.

No, seriously.

Come to the edge.

But we might fall.

Come to the edge.

But it's too high!

COME TO THE EDGE!

And they came, and he pushed,

and they flew.

Poet Christopher Logue.

- Who are you?

- My real name's Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn.

Does this club have a computer

hooked up to the Internet?

- What are you doing?

- One second. Work work work.

Come on.

Done.

Thank you.

I just might have saved

my best friend's life.

Aw, you are so sweet.

And you might just be stealing

my heart right from my chest.

You shouldn't be out so late, Ringo.

Your boss said I had a month.

I'm off the clock.

See...

I didn't like how we ended

the night last night.

What?

With you being beat up by a girl?

Drop it! Drop the knife!

You see, Razer,

you brought a knife to a bottle fight.

Now your boss said I had a month.

I suggest you let me have it, okay?

Now go to a hospital.

You're gonna need stitches in that.

What?

I'm trying to teach you

to be a fighter, not a goon.

Go!

Hey!

- What happened? Are you hurt?

- Always.

You're bleeding.

I don't think this is mine.

Jesus, you leave my sight

for 10 minutes...

- Let's get you to a hospital.

- Not a good idea.

I just sent the other guy there.

Well, you can't lay here bleeding

in a strip club parking lot.

You'll give this establishment

a bad name.

Let's go.

Whoa whoa.

Okay.

There's a light here.

Are you good?

Yeah, I'm good.

There used to be a couch there.

So what got you into fighting

in the first place?

- It's been in the family.

- Yeah? Your dad?

- No, my mom.

- Really?

She was a fighter.

She was a good fighter.

You know, I'd think

a mother wouldn't want

to see her son get beat up so much.

She never did.

She died shortly after

the picture was taken.

Sorry.

That's okay, she didn't mean to.

So why do you love it

so much-- fighting?

Fighting?

Simple.

I don't have to worry about any of this.

You know, for those

few minutes in the cage...

I feel like I belong in this world.

I may go down 100 times,

but I am determined

to get up 101 times.

And when I'm getting up,

just in that second,

I'm happy, fearless.

Just in that second

I feel like a winner, you know.

What's with the arm?

Nothing. Arm is fine.

Bullshit.

I've watched you for a month

lift almost everything with one hand.

What gives?

Does this hurt?

High pain tolerance, huh?

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Son of a g--

Dislocated?

How did-- how did you know--

It's called a subluxation.

It's a partial dislocation.

It's hard to tell.

Don't worry, it'll-- it'll heal.

Wow.

Is there anything you don't know?

Watch out, the arm.

Take the pain, Rocky.

I think I'm gonna need

your help with the shirt.

- You're trying to kill me.

- Sorry.

Sorry about your other arm.

That was the good one.

That's the bad one.

- Does that hurt?

- Yeah.

- Okay, 'cause I can go.

- No!

- No, I can stop.

- No no no no.

- I kind of had plans anyway.

- I was just playing. I was playing.

How the hell did he end up in there?

- That's Ringo Duran.

- Yeah, I know who it is.

How'd he pass our screening?

His mother's in the Hall of Fame,

Christopher.

Look, the guy's a bum.

He's a loser.

And everybody knows he has a gimpy arm

and nothing left in the tank.

Yeah, but he's got heart.

The crowd loves heart.

The crowd will love

what we decide they love.

Right?

Well, the last time

I checked, Christopher,

the letters CEO were after my name

outside that door.

Well, let me tell you something,

Billy Bad-ass.

I'm the one who put this organization

on the map, okay?

Well, contractually I'm obligated

to say that on national television,

but not here in this boardroom.

Come on, Pressure, we could

do worse than Ringo Duran.

Look, let's just-- let's see

what we've got there.

How about this guy?

I seen him in the Pro-Am in California.

Alonso Scott?

He's good.

Wild, but dangerous.

- Yeah, he's got a bad attitude.

- He's got a bad attitude?

This is Maximum Cage Warriors.

Everybody has a bad attitude.

Hey hey hey, what are you doing?
