Watch Redbelt

The 2008 film Redbelt is about a mixed martial arts professional named Mike who runs his own mix martial arts studio in the city of Los Angeles. Mike knows everything there is to know about the art of jiujitsu and mix martial arts fighting. Mike develops a relationship with a popular Hollywood movie maker who he helps during a fight at a bar. The Hollywood movie maker and Mike begin to talk about mixed martial arts and Mike mistakenly tells the Hollywood movie maker about an idea involving mixed martial arts which introduces the handicap rule.

The Hollywood movie star likes the idea and decides he is going to take it for his own and develop a fixed fight where the person who receives the handicap is picked prior to the fight ever starting. Mike is angry about his idea being stolen by a man he thought he was going to be able to trust and thus finds himself in a strange Hollywood scenario which he is not particularly familiar with.
