Directed by Andrew Ackerman

The Rukus follows Brandon "The Rukus" Thatch, a Denver-based mixed martial artist, as he chases his lifelong dream of fighting in the UFC. Shot inside the gyms, locker rooms, and cages of the self-proclaimed "most violent sport in the world," the documentary offers an unflinching, insider's look at the sacrifice, family legacy, and brutal reality behind one fighter's pursuit of the sport's biggest stage.
