when you watch the smashing machine, very early in the movie you'll come across this quote, with the backdrop of video footage of mark trying to tear open a cut, pretty epic scene actually:
"The question you ask yourself is how competitive are you....
What lengths are you willing to go to try to win....
Are you gonna poke him in the eye...
Are you gonna take your thumb and dig it in a cut and pull it open a little wider...
Of course you are..."
-Mark Kerr
the first time i heard this i says to myself, i says, i like the way this guy thinks, i'm totally on board with that line of thinking lol
this is also back in the day when mma was nhb, headbutts, groin shots, shit like that was legal so i'm sure his mindset was fuck it, anything to win
