Odysseus Entertainment presents The Martial Artist, hitting theaters on January 31. Directed by Shaz Khan, who also co-wrote the script with Michael Ross Albert, this drama–sports tale explores the highs and lows of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) star Ibby “The Prince” Bakran.
When Ibby dazzles local fans during a promising fight, the world’s biggest MMA promoter offers him a can’t-miss deal. Success and fame come quick, but Ibby’s personal life and family ties suffer just as quickly. With his star on the decline and nowhere to turn, he heads to Pakistan’s majestic mountains to reconnect with his estranged grandfather and face his greatest opponent: the person in the mirror.
