CGiii Comment

Mike is for his surroundings the epitome of a successful young man: strong, popular, hetero. This facade collapses when he is caught after a workout session with a training colleague in the shower inflagranti during sex. The news spreads like a running fire throughout the city. From now on, he is avoided by his homophobic friends, despised by his family, abandoned by his coach, and now he has to face his greatest challenge - the struggle for his place in life to be accepted as the person he really is. After the initial shock, Mike's coach decides to stay by his side and train him for the upcoming championship against the reigning champion Dogan. Throughout the challenging time, he somehow wins the fight and become champion. He finally changed the MMA world for the better. He can be the person he is. But suddenly these hopes were destroyed in a second.
