Would have been better if he lost the fight


And then the other fighter donates the money. I liked the movie but I don't like how after a few weeks/months he beats a pro who's trained his entire life. Like the movie the karate kid or never back down I was hoping the bad kid would win.

Reasonable argument. At the same time, he did survive the onslaught of the first two rounds, which isn't easy to do. Then again, it's a movie. I guess they felt it needed the underdog winning story vs the tough loss but you gained character story, like say, Friday Night Lights.

It wouldn't have been a bad ending if he'd lost and still have UFC donate the $50,000 to him.
