Is there really no other way for two men to resolve their issues than pure violence? And if they must do so, would it be too much to ask not to have them do it in such a paint-by-the-numbers sports movie?

Listen to Alex & Julio as they pick apart Gavin O\u2019Connor\u2019s bloated celebration of MMA and fractured families!
