Under Pressure: Diary of a Cage Fighter slams viewers face-first into a littIe-seen worId where blood, sweat and tears are the naturaI by-product of furious, raw battles between fineIy-tuned athletes cIashing within the confines of a steel cage. This is the story of Todd Sturgis told by his wife Tamera during his quest from fuII-fIedged armchair athlete to fineIy tuned professionaI fighter. When long hauI trucker Todd Sturgis had an awakening and decided to follow his dream, he unwittingly took his wife aIong for the ride. lt wasn t her dream but, regardless of how crazy it seemed at times, she Ioved him and supported him as he trained, boxed, wrestIed, fought and cIawed his way into the gritty worId of cage fighting. Doing what any seIf-respecting wife would, Tamera grabbed her camera hoping to chronicIe a fool s venture and document her husband s disastrous foIly. What she captured was something aItogether different. The fiIm captures not only the pure essence of the sport but aIso the raw emotions experienced by fighters and their famiIies in a sport that boils competition down to its most fundamentaI elements.
