Critical response

A review by The Hollywood Reporter described it as "a scattered intro that offers some history and introduces a few of the players who are currently big on the scene, but hardly inspires a disinterested viewer to drop everything and set the DVR for the next UFC bout. Some faithful fight fans may rally for the doc's theatrical bookings, but even on VOD, it promises to underwhelm most for whom the names Jon Jones and Sara McMann mean something."[1]

gollark: Audio is easy and just don't nvidia.
gollark: I would really expect it to be using hardware decoding, but I guess for AV1 it can't.
gollark: Maybe your scheduler is wrong.
gollark: (Or worse)
gollark: I doubt it's that bad. Basically every mobile CPU until last year was a Skylake quad core.
