Ken Dietrich? lol....
So I actually sort of enjoyed this movie, but for the ENTIRE thing, I couldn't stop thinking about how dumb "Ken Dietrich" was.
I'm a fairly big MMA fan, and I have to assume that at least a decent population of the people who watched this movie were as well. Early on they have a matchup between 'Ken Dietrich" and Brian Stann. The problem here, is that Brian Stann actually exists and Ken Dietrich does not, which made it incredibly distracting.
Worse though, is that they picked a dude who doesn't look like he even really COULD be a Ken Dietrich, and for anyone who knows a bit about MMA, they easily recognized the guy playing Dietrich as Krzysztof Soszynski. Now I don't know why they had Briann Stann as himself yet created a fictional Ken Dietrich, which is an issue in and of itself, but if you're going to name a guy "Ken Dietrich" can he at least look like a dude that might actually be Ken Dietrich? Soszynski has an incredibly eastern European look to him (he's Polish). He looks nothing like a "Ken Dietrich" sort of guy. Would it have been too much to ask to name him Igor or something?
