THE GREATEST FIGHT is a documentary that is both poignant and unflinching in its honesty. A film six years in the making, it follows Ken through what were thought to be his final three fights and the apparent crumbling of a legend. But thankfully for Ken's fans, that was not the end of the story, and Ken opens up in this film about both his darkest days as well as his current state of mind. All opinions and speculation about Shamrock will be silenced as you see everything from Ken's violent childhood, his rise in the world of MMA, as well as intimate scenes with his children and grandchildren. Longtime fans will certainly soak up this personal look into Ken's life, while casual fans will encounter a story of brokenness and ultimate redemption.
Director Darren Wilson adds, "Ken's story is so fascinating because he's such an open book - honest almost to a fault. Throughout this entire process, we both took the stance that no matter what; we were going to tell an honest story. It's not entirely flattering of Ken all the time. But at the end of the day, it's a brutally honest portrayal of someone that a lot of people love and look up to."
