We may be in a golden age, or at least an incredibly good season for new fight docs, taters.
There’s “Like Water,” on Anderson Silva, “I am Bruce Lee,” and soon, an interesting-looking doc on lightweight Eddie Alvarez (22-3).
In addition to being a GOP policy stance, “No Plan B,” is a new film by David Klayman that chronicles Alvarez in the lead-up to what may still be his most high profile to date: his bout with former Sports Illustrated cover boy Roger Huerta back in 2010.
The trailer for the movie shows Alvarez at home with family, as well as training and consulting with champion/east coast colleagues Bernard Hopkins and Frankie Edgar. The title of the film is derived from a quote and apparent philosophy of Alvarez’. “…I’m not much of a planner,” he says. “I set a goal and there really is nothing else. So, there is no ‘plan b.’”
Although Alvarez suffered a rare loss in his last fight to Michael Chandler, he will have a chance to avenge a prior defeat when he takes on Shinya Aoki (30-5) at the Bellator card on April 20 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Check out the trailer for “No Plan B” and stay tuned for reviews of this and other docs coming soon to CagePotato.
