Synopsis

"FIGHTING POLITICS" follows one of the best cage fighters in the business as he puts his Greco-Roman Wrestling skills to the test to see if he can be #1. As Matt Lindland sets forth into MMA he quickly realizes that this might be a lot harder than he thought. Also Filmmaker David Vahey chronicles the controversy surrounding mixed martial artist Matt Lindland, whose promising career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship was cut short when he was dismissed for wearing the wrong clothing at a pre-match event. Did the UFC have a legitimate beef? Or was UFC chief Dana White determined to protect UFC's golden-boy athletes by railroading the up-and-coming Lindland? Along with his supporters, Lindland weighs in.

    " The makers of this local-interest documentary were smart to assume that plenty of people (me included) don't know the first thing about the rapidly growing but still niche-interest sport of mixed martial arts. "
