EFC (2024)

Cassady Jones (Karlee Rose) and Alexa Star (Kathryn Aboya) are about to battle for the Excelsis Fighting Championship title. Still, this fight is about more than just who the better woman is. It may be about the future of women’s MMA. As the women try to prove their fighting ability, Donna (Stephanie Jones), the president of the company, is dealing with corporate battles with shareholder  Frank (Richard Zeppieri) and PR man John (Alex Cruz). No matter who wins the fight, Scarlett (Avaah Blackwell) is waiting to take on the survivor.

The real star is the fight scenes, choreographed by Wayne Wells and Hubert Boorder. Working with director and co-writer Jaze Bordeaux, they elevate a low-budget fight movie. Sure, it’s a somewhat expected story, but when these fights feel like you’re getting grounded and pounded, you’ll forget that and just savor this movie’s gritty look and feel. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it!
