'John DuPont took my happiness away from me' - Mark equating his own happiness with his brother's life is such a raw, moving sentiment.

I can't imagine the rage towards duPont. I lost my brother to drug overdose and I am still surprised how incredibly sad I still am over the loss. Losing your brother hurts. To know that some narcissistic jerkface that also took his joy and passion of sport away intentionally killed his brother. That's so incredibly unfair.

It is appreciated.

Come on, are you a softy or what? This guy is talking about sports and there are people out there who deal with stress far worse than this documentary on an everyday basis. My life has been stressful since I was born and even when I was inside my mother's womb. The problem with you Gen Ziers is you have nothing tough to talk about and live off what others have gone through and act like your life has been tough. I have a cousin who went to state championship and I only did wrestling at a trouble maker school back in the late 80s and early 90s and I would beat him every time and it was because I was a natural and I got into a lot of fights growing up. Pick your heroes correctly!

I was a student at BYU and was one of the spotting coaches in the athletes gym while Mark was the wrestling coach there. Mark was incredibly strong and was legendary in the athletic department. No one could dream of defeating him on the mat at any weight. When he fought in that UFC fight, I saw it on pay-per-view and it made so many of us so proud that he was our BYU wrestling coach. UFC was controversial at the time, and that made it all the more glorious.

So glad I found this documentary. Great Job. I was wrestling at BYU when Mark just showed up one day and soon was the assistant coach. I was there when Gracie showed up and we had no idea who he was. Mark is the toughest, meanest, ( on the mat) most talented person i've ever been around and to be honest, Gracie is lucky he met coach Schultz before he got some Jiu Jitsu skills. I have no doubt that he could have continued from UFC 9 and won many more bouts had circumstances been different. Mark is a very humble and often misunderstood guy. All the best to him.

Joe is famous for complaining about Hollywood based on the Foxcatcher movie and his problem was that the movie hired a white guy to play Mark's opponent. But what's more outrageous was how the movie portrayed Mark. There was a scene in the movie that almost insinuated that Mark was doing something sexual which DuPont (Mark had his haired dyed and DuPont was grappling with him). I remember Mark came out after the movie premiered and he was so angry.
