The story follows Reiss Gibbons (Alex Montagnani), a fighter looking to take the throne as the greatest to ever to step inside the Legends cage. Reiss has it all: five title defenses under his belt, a beautiful wife named Ellie (Georgia Bradner), his ball-busting agent named Reggie (Elijah Baker), who has hooked him up with endless sponsorships, and the support of coach and mentor Marcus (Chuck Liddell). Things take a turn when promoter Max Black (Gina Gershon) pits him toe-to-toe against pro wrestling superstar Randy Stone (Jon Moxley) in the company’s first-ever cross-promotional event — which could very well turn out to be the toughest fight of his life.
