In the very same interview, Jai White also talked about why he cast fighters in his movie. According to him, fans worship their favorite fighters during their prime. However, things change drastically when they retire. Jai White mentions how fighters lose their identity after their prime years. Hence, he feels that it is important for people to always remember them.
For him, movies are a platform that can provide new opportunities to fighters who were once real-life heroes. As per Jai White, athletes in combat sports do a lot of hard work and undergo countless struggles to make a name for themselves. So he casts fighters to give them back the recognition they used to receive from the public.
