Reception

Bill Gibron of PopMatters gave the film a score of 7/10 and called it "groin-grabbing entertainment that never even attempts to engage you on an intellectual level" and "unapologetic at delivering exactly what you expect from a movie made up of MMA members".[1] Sander Collin of Cinemagazine rated the film 3.5/5 stars and opined that the film was lighthearted and entertaining if forgettable and unoriginal.[2] Conversely, David Walker of DVD Talk rated the film 0.5/5 stars, calling it "so bad that it only warrants a viewing if it appears on cable (uncut, of course), at a time when there's nothing else on, you have nothing else to do, you have insomnia and have run out of sleeping pills."[3]
