Making a movie can feel like a prize fight.

I had been a casual observer of MMA and UFC for a few years when I saw Rose Namajunas win the UFC strawweight championship of the world in a huge upset victory over Joana Jedrzejczyk in Madison Square Garden.
It was an incredible fight, but what took place after was what captured my attention. Rose was being interviewed in the ring after the fight, and with tears of emotion streaming down her face, Rose gave the most beautiful, spontaneous speech. She said we should all aspire to be better people, give each other hugs, and make the world a better place. I’d never seen an athlete, let alone an MMA fighter who just viciously knocked out her opponent, be so compassionate and humble in their moment of triumph.
