Mark kerr legendary smashes of face
I have watched the Smashing Machine at least 30 times ...it really pulls you in and routing for Kerr
It's a great documentary. Been a while since I have seen it. I think it's time I watch it again. I'm also interested in the smashing machine film, but it likely won't be out for a while.
The Smashing Machine had a HUGE impact on me(and probably A LOT of other guys here) as an young MMA fan, incredible when I think about it. Time goes by so fast. I‘m so thankful for this gem.
What a beast when fighting, and a class act in person
Very rare
Very awesome human.
Mark looks healthier and happier than the last interview I saw him in about 10 years ago. Looks like he's lost a few LBs. Such an straight forward gentleman and pioneer of the sport, as well as of addiction awareness. As an Ohio native and dabbler of sports , I know how big wrestling is here and what beasts guys like Kerr and Coleman are.
Smashing Machine is so well done. Is the rock still going to do it? Heard about it a few years ago but seems like nothing happened , maybe due to covid? The Rock is genuinely a nice yet intense guy , like Mark, so I think he'd play him well. What id like to know is How are they going to find a specimen to play Igor ( certainly not someone who skips leg day, lol).
So glad Mark survived his darkest time to help so many others deal with our own darkness. God bless you! Awesome. The best in humanity.
I was still going to school, when I discovered that Vale Tudo existed, late 90s. It was illegal back then, so I had to visit a guy at his place to get the VHS video tape!! Lucky enough I purchased the debut of Mark Kerr! Ever since, I have been an avid admirer of Kerr!!! Love the guy. Thank you so much for bringing this awesome person to your podcast❤ I have seen the Smashing Machine so many times, I literally know all lines by heart. It has really made a huge impact on how I view life. Mark talks about his shoulder in the podcast, if you remember, he had this problem documented in Smashing Machine, for which he visited his doctor and of course didn't have time to treat it so he was instead receiving initially Voltaren pills, causing stomach ache, and then injections.
Dang! Your smashing machine knowledge is 🏆
And now Dwayne the rock Johnson is going to act a movie of Mr. Kerr. That is so cool!.
I used to read his articles in full contact fighter magazine! Back in the 90s
Mark is the legend 💯
This is such a great interview. When I was back in College, I wrote 2 essays one as an article about MMA, and the 2nd one on the documentary The Smashing Machine and Mark Kerr himself.
I remember my college professor watching , The Smashing Machine after I wrote my essay and she was both intrigued and shocked at it. Got a A on both essays.
However I wish I could have reached Mark Kerr himself and tell him about the essays.
That’s awesome! Let’s see if we can make something happen.
Man is great to see Mark Kerr, that man is a legend and pioneer did it all in the MMA from Wrestling, Vale Tudo, UFC, Pride FC and grappler in Abu Dabi and in all World Champion! Great to see him healthy and good and still look good and sharp! I hope they make that movie and cannot wait for it and would love to see more of him. These legends need to put in the spotlights if they want ofcourse and ppl should know how they build this sport what it is today and paved the ways!!!
Verdade

MMA does its legends such a disservice, the sport is so young, our legends are younger than Joe Rogan
That whole era of 90s/00s MMA are such a wild ride to go through and we have so many great documentaries from the time
Ive seen him fight in person. It was something else.
Lucky and blessed he is still alive...i been sober for 5 yearz...he was abd is very brave...so glad it was released

We had a dr. training with us for a few years. Every couple weeks he'd bust the syringes out and start draining ears.
