Dalton Hunt (Tony Schiena) was the greatest fighter in the world when his career came to a sudden and tragic end. Subsequently abandoned by his family, Dalton retreats from the spotlight until a sleazy promoter presents him with an offer he can't refuse. The reigning champion has yet to encounter an opponent he can't pummel into submission, and Dalton may be just the man to teach him a little humility. But in order to get back into fighting shape, Dalton will endure a grueling training regimen under a mysterious coach who won't accept anything less than 100% dedication. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I got to say nothing beats watching a bunch of well oiled, well muscled guys beating the crap out of each other. This one is no different with our hero being a retired MMA fighter (Tony Schiena) who has been out of the game for over five years. However, when an unscrupulous promoter finds an oversight in his contract he is forced to make one last fight in order to fulfill his contractual obligations. He decides to take on the current undefeated champ under the coaching tutelage of Brett Favre, but he has to do this in two months time. Dean Cain is our hero's wheelchair bound roommate who got placed there after a sparring match went wrong. Add a little bit of spice in the form of a hot Asian chick (Bai Ling Crank 2 High Voltage) and put in the obligatory sex scene with copious nudity and you've got "Circle ofPain". Predictable but the fighting scenes were okay and you have a splash of everything starting with the reluctant hero, the deranged bad guy, the eccentric trainer, and the wheelchair-bound sidekick and there is a brief spar with "Kimbo" The Slice as well.
