This documentary serves as a chronological account of the UFC's growth and commercial success. It prioritizes athletic milestones and the company's transition into a global brand over discussions of social identity. The film functions primarily as a corporate retrospective. Since the narrative structure revolves around the history of a sports brand, it fails to delve into complex multi-layered themes or systemic critiques. As a result, the representation of various identities is largely incidental. The work focuses on the legitimization of mixed martial arts rather than exploring the diverse personal backgrounds of the participants.
