For my next blog post, I will discuss the television show, Fight Factory. Fight Factory is a show that follows the lives of men fighting for the title of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The AKA gym that is considered the "home" of these men is run by Latino, Javier Mendez - a very credible trainer for UFC.
Mendez is a former world champion in kickboxing and now works at his personal gym in San Jose, California. He trains men of all races and is working heavily with his current heavy weight champion, Cain Velasquez.
Watching the show, the audience is immersed in world of fighting. This brutal sport shows the harsh effects on the bodies of these athletes and the pressure they have to endure to stay in the sport. The show features a handful of Latino men training to become fighters and showing that it is a sport only meant for few.
UFC has become an incredible popular sport in the last several years and many minorities tune in every week to see these spectacular fights. It is a sport that proves who is the toughest and gives hope to many underdog stories. The depth of these fighters gives chance to the audience that if they could work hard at anything they could achieve their goals. The drama that ensues past the fighting proves more to the audience then the actual fight could.
