There isn’t a shortage of combat movies in the history of film.
Going back to the days of “Raging Bull,” to current movies such as “Warrior” and the longstanding “Rocky” series, Hollywood has done a great job bringing the real-life world of the hurt business to the big screen.
But which ones are at the top of the favorite list to many of today’s mixed martial arts (MMA) stars? MMA Noise asked around and these are some of the responses that were received.
Josh Barnett: “Warrior”
Eddie Alvarez: “Rocky”
Frankie Edgar: “Rocky”
Jimmie Rivera: “Creed”
No love for “Here Comes The Boom?”
Another popular pick from Gian Villante, Anthony Johnson and Phillipe Nover was “Bloodsport” and of course, all of the “Rocky” series.
Personally, I’m an old school fan of “Bloodsport” and “Rocky 4.” Fast forward to present day films, and “Southpaw” and “Creed” are at the top of my list.
