In 2007, UFC fighter Spencer “The King” Fisher is riding high from his win over Sam Stout, but the high intensity of that fight burned him out emotionally. This film is about his struggle to regain his motivation and fight Frank Edgar at UFC 78. Plus, get up close with his family, experience behind-the-scenes at the UFC, the loyalty and camaraderie of his teammates from the Miletich camp, some intense local fights and some footage from the legendary “Spencer Fisher vs. Josh Neer” battle as well as Spencer’s first MMA match ever…in a basement!
“The Man in the Arena”, a feature length documentary about UFC fighter Spencer “The King” Fisher. Directed by Ross Guidici & Gary Steuber. Featuring Josh Neer, Jason Reinhardt, Kyle Gray and Emily Fisher. With Frank Edgar, Joe Lauzon, Karo Parisyan, Tim Sylvia, LC Davis.
In for later.

Ancient history now but the first time i ever met Spencer was at some Toughman knockoff at the AG Center here in Asheville i think it was over 20 years ago. He was in the heavyweight division at the time just barely over the minimum weight. If you didn’t know about his background you would have thought he was gonna get killed going up against some of those muscled up monsters he did. He pretty much toyed with all of them and KO’ed a couple i think on his way to winning the tournament. He was a really cool and down to earth guy.
That generation of Midwest fighters were tough as fuck!
Miletich, Hughes, Horn, Sherk, Menne, Reilly, Neer, Fisher, Alvarez, Pulver, Lawler etc.
Just tough ass midwestern dudes.
For later
