Synopsis in English
The film presents various MMA fighters from Campina Grande, as we’ve been filming them for over one year. The city is the source of many fighters since the time of Master Ivan Gomes, an international athlete who didn’t lose one single fight between more than 230. We show the daily struggles of today’s fighters from Campina Grande, anyone with a different background and personality, therefore, this documentary emphasizes social and human complexity. Their professional achievements also vary, as the film includes athletes like Jean “White Bear” Silva, former Cage Rage’s champion; veterans like Edson “Paredão”, who already fought against tough guys as Junior dos Santos (Cigano), or Forrest Griffin; And Brazilian Top Team's golden kid Toninho "Fúria". While Campina keeps on producing young champions like Isac Almeida, Puma, JP Santos, Stênio, Mumbuca, Ceará, Digão and Rogério Souza.
