Just a friendly reminder for you to set your PVR for 9:00 p.m. ET tonight so you don’t miss the acclaimed two-hour Bruce Lee documentary SPIKE TV is airing.
The film, “I Am Bruce Lee,” is a theatrical release currently playing in select theatres in Australia, the U.S. and Canada this month, and by all accounts it’s definitely worth watching, especially if you’re a fan of the late great martial artist and actor’s work.

Featuring interviews with several MMA luminaries, including Dana White, Gina Carano, Cung Le, Jon Jones and Stephan Bonnar, the movie is a retrospective look at Lee’s legacy and how his films and dedication to martial arts affected those who experienced the cultural icon’s talents.

Many fighters point to Lee as the reason why they got into martial arts and eventually fighting, so it’s no wonder they had so many mixed martial artists in the film.
Well the makers of “The Reem” have done it again and it looks like this could be the best episode yet of Alistair Overeem’s online web series thanks to the cool footage of fans around the world watching and reacting to his UFC debut.

Of note is Dana White’s assertion that he was wrong to call Overeem “overrated,” Tito Ortiz’s obvious hate for Brock Lesnar and Ariel Helwani’s high praise of Alistair in spite of picking him to lose the fight.
I’d love to know how much the room service bill cost for the post-fight celebration. Probably more than some readers make in a year.
Lil’ Jon makes a cameo at the end when he parties with “The Demolition Man’s” entourage in Vegas on NYE. Can’t wait to see the next one of these. Apparently The Reem has been shopping for a new gym in Florida, where he recently checked out American Top Team and Imperial Athletics.
A new Australian documentary was released this week and it looks pretty damn good.
Fighting Fear focuses on the lives of two best friends who happen to be professional sportsmen and how their relationship with each other helped the them through the low points of their lives.
The film gives a glimpse into the lives of childhood friends, pro surfer Mark Mathews and MMA fighter Richie “Vas” Vaculik and examines how each had to deal with their fears to do what they do for a living.
Narrated by Warrior actor Joel Edgerton, the movie follows the two adrenaline junkies through their real-life struggles as they strive to make it in their respective ultra-competitive sports.

There were moments when filming, like when one of the stars was arrested for his involvement in a brawl, when the film seemed like it may never be completed, but even through bouts of binge drinking and bitter arguments, the documentary made it out unscathed, much like the pair’s friendship.
“In hindsight we were very lucky, and a lot of our friends weren’t so lucky, so I felt that if we could get Mark and Richie to go on record and warts and all talk about all this kind of stuff, it [would] help some of the other guys and kids all over the world,” the director Macario De Souza, who also directed Surf documentary Bra Boys explained to the NZ Herald. ”But then there was definitely times where I had to keep the camera rolling when they were in distress and that was kind of tough, and even just asking them really personal questions really got awkward at times.”
Although the stars of the documentary say they enjoyed the process of making the film the past few years, Vaculik, who was the one involved in the brawl said it was tough to watch some of his darker moments like going to court to face charges back in 2008 of grievous bodily harm, after allegedly beating a man unconscious.
“It’s something I’m not proud of, it happened, but I look back at it and think that it’s really helped shape where I am today,” he says of the incident, for which he was found not guilty.
Mathews, who starred alongside Vaculik in “Bra Boys” says that the film focuses a lot more on the importance of the bond they share.
“It’s a different story to Bra Boys … this one’s about Richie and I and it’s really about friendship and how having that one special person, that one close mate, can make or break your life.”
Did you know he can punch through bullet proof glass?
How about the fact that he was in the CIA and a Navy Seal?
For $4, you can check out the new documentary about the man, the myth and the legend. “Put Up Your Dux” (I know, awesome, right?) is available for download for the next 13 hours via PreScreen.com at a reduced rental price. After that it will go up, so go check it out. There’s no way it isn’t going to be incredible.

If you’re a fan of MMA documentaries, the upcoming one about Jon Fitch, "Such Great Heights" which is slated for release later this year, looks pretty damn good, regardless if you’re a fan of his or not.
