The MMA community can’t wait to see The Smashing Machine.
Based on the life of combat sports legend Mark Kerr, the film stars Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson in the lead role with Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) behind the camera. The film also stars Emily Blunt, who worked with Johnson on Disney’s Jungle Cruise movie, and a slew of real-life fighters like Oleksandr Usyk, Ryan Bader, and Satoshi Ishii.
Also appearing in the film is former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten, who apparently had a bit of a clash with Blunt while the A Quiet Place actress was researching her role as Kerr’s ex-wife and former Playboy model Dawn Staples.
