Mark Kerr was once “The Smashing Machine” – a figure of unprecedented strength and danger in the sport. Then he became addicted to drugs, while he was the subject of a film documentary in process. “The Smashing Machine” then became shorthand for a mixed martial arts fighter becoming terribly addicted to narcotics.
Now the UFC’s first Arabic commentator Mohammed Al Housani and the number one mixed martial arts director in the world Bobby Razak collaborated to produce a wrenching profile of Kerr on the other side of addiction, clean, reflective, and haunted.
