The trailer for the upcoming release of a new mixed martial arts picture, Bruised directed by and featuring renowned actor, Halle Berry as well as current undisputed UFC flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko has been released ahead of its November 24. Thanksgiving release on Netflix. 

The feature, which is slated to release on Netflix on November 24. and in select theaters for screening on November 17. is directed by the aforenoted, and written by Michelle Rosenfarb. 

Per a press release the brief synopsis of the movie’s plot is as follows; 

Jackie Justice (Halle Berry) is a mixed martial arts fighter who leaves the sport in disgrace. Down on her luc and simmering with rage and regret years after her fight, she’s coaxed into a brutal underground fight by her manager and boyfriend, Desi (Adan Canto), and grabs the attention of a fight league promoter (Shamier Anderson) who promises Jackie a life back in the Octagon. But the road to redemption becomes unexpectedly personal when Manny (Danny Boyd Jr.) — the son she gave up as an infant — shows up on her doorstep. BRUISED marks the directorial debut of Academy Award winner Hallie Berry and also stars Adriane Lenox, Sheila Atim, Valentina Shevchenko, and Stephen McKinley Henderson in a triumphant story of a fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out.

This evening, the streaming platform officially released a two-minute teaser trailer of the film on their official Twitter account.

Halle Berry makes her directorial debut and stars in Bruised as Jackie Justice, a disgraced MMA fighter who is offered a chance at redemption — both in the cage and in life. Premieres November 24.

Bruised Set To Feature UFC Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko As Jackie Justice’s Main Rival

In the trailer footage show’s X-Men, Monsters Ball, Catwoman, and Gothika actor, Berry’s character, Justice compete in underground no rule fights, before then competing under the Shannon Knapp-led Invicta FC banner in professional bouts. 

Kyrgyzstan native, Shevchenko, the UFC’s current flyweight champion, is slated to play the character of Lady Killer in the upcoming film, playing the lead rival of Berry’s character, Justice throughout her professional career. 

22-3 as a professional mixed martial artist, Shevchenko has won all eight of her flyweight outings under the UFC’s banner, most recently stopping Lauren Murphy with fourth round ground strikes at UFC 266 last month, successfully defending her flyweight title for the sixth time consecutive time. 

Kayla Harrison Urged To Develop ‘Thicker Skin’ By Ronda Rousey

Former UFC bantamweight champion, ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey has offered some career advice to upcoming PFL talent, Kayla Harrison, urging the two-time Olympic gold medalist to develop some “thicker skin” as the latter’s career continues to gain momentum.

Rousey, the UFC’s first-ever bantamweight champion, like Harrison, is also an Olympian, scoring a bronze medal at the 2008 summer Beijing games. A true pioneer of women’s mixed martial arts, Rousey scored a 12-2 professional record over the course of a five-year career. 

While both Rousey and Harrison share a massively influenced judoka style, the latter’s career trajectory has already been likened to the former, with a matchup opposite current two-weight UFC world champion, Amanda ‘The Lioness’ Nunes already suggested for the 30-year-old in the coming years.

With an undefeated 7-0 professional résumé, Harrison featured under the Invicta FC banner on November 20 at Invicta FC 43 in an exemption of her PFL contract – decimating Courtney King with brutal ground-and-pound before grabbing a second-round knockout win in her 145-pound debut.

Prior to the win, the Ohio native had competed exclusively as high as lightweight, scoring a pair of wins over Larissa Pacheco in a career rematch, and Bobbi Jo Dalziel in the 2019 PFL Women’s Lightweight tournament – earning championship spoils.
Speaking with ESPN MMA recently, Harrison detailed a piece of career advice Rousey had offered her before she had made the transition from Judo to professional mixed martial arts.

That’s the one thing Ronda (Rousey) always told me about MMA,” Harrison detailed. “She was like, ‘you need to have thicker skin or you’re going to get eaten alive.’ Because I am a little bit of a sensitive person.

While Harrison’s professional career begins to take real shape, 33-year-old Californian, Rousey’s career in professional mixed martial arts came to its conclusion with a pair of knockout losses to former world champion, Holly Holm, and current titleholder, Nunes in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

A prominent grappler, Rousey, also a former Strikeforce bantamweight champion has nabbed eye-catching career wins over Julia Budd, Miesha Tate (x2), Sarah Kaufman, Liz Carmouche, Sara McMann, Alexis Davis, Cat Zingano, and Bethe Correia.
