She's got the looks, the hooks, and her trainer's heart—now she needs the belt.
Aspiring MMA fighter Brianna Garcia (Megan Fiore) is a knockout who packs a punch. While she’s drawn the attention of her fellow trainees for her looks and sex appeal, gym owner and former contender Chris Diaz (Juan Lucho) sees the potential in her and takes Brianna under his wing. Minutes into their first sparring session, Chris realizes his new protégé just might be a phenom. As Brianna quickly piles up a series of highlight wins, her relationship with her trainer grows outside the cage too. But a wedge is driven between them when sleazy promoter Jerry Finch (Danny D) comes knocking with the opportunity of a lifetime: a title fight against women’s world champion -and Chris’ former fling- Hayley Logan (Angie Lynx). While the fight is promoted as an open challenge against a hungry up and comer, does anyone truly believe Brianna stands a chance?
