    Just rewatched this documentary. The last time i saw it was quite some years ago on a HBO special. What a fantastic documentary. Its fascinating to behold the type of character Kerr was and the uncanny resemblances with Tyson in terms of how their careers panned out. Id recommend it as a definite watch for ALL MMA fans.

    Even the footage with Mark is interesting to see. The diffrences between Mark physically in his earlier years in PRIDE and what you see now are phenomenal. Even in his later years in PRIDE he was slowly atrophying as he came off the hormones.

    Watched the first 40mins. It is really good. Had to meet my mate at the gym but I'm watching it again now.

    Looks just like him to me except for the obvious. Picture him gaining weight (losing a lot of muscle definition) and losing his tan.

    That my friend is Mark Kerr. I think he's last fight was against Jeff Monson. Naturally he's aged somewhat but his conditioning from his early years is completely gone as he came off drugs around the time of the 2000 GP when he got beat up by Fujita. Tragic is all i can say when you see the specimen he was. But then again it was after all a slew of drugs...

    The whole card sucks and Mo is a pile of dogs doo doo. No one cares about him. Mark still fights because he needs the money.

    I didn't realize he was still fighting. Sad story. Only him self to blame really.

    I liked him in the video. He seemed a bit articulate and note a brute. He made you warmed to him and feel for his addiction rather than roll your eyes and think he is weak.
