WIN! Copies Of Death Warrior And Unrivaled

Death Warrior is the underground, hard-hitting, mixed martial arts thriller, where failure only leads to death.

The dramatic tale follows the story of Rainerio (Hector Echavarria), an undefeated MMA champion who is about to retire and choose a quieter life when he is forced to enter the warped world of underground fighting. Run by a vicious and unscrupulous gang, the fights are broadcast on the internet where people place bets on who will win – but in these ultra-violent battles winning means killing your opponent.

Rainerio is forced to fight against his will to save his wife, Kira, who has been injected with a slow-acting neurotoxin by the gang.

This adrenaline-fueled, MMA extravaganza features some of the biggest and best names from the Ultimate Fighting Championship – including the current UFC Welterweight title-holder George ‘Rush’ St Pierre and former UFC Light heavyweight champion, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson (who plays BA in the blockbuster film version of The A Team).

The film also stars Keith ‘The Dean of Mean’ Jardine and ‘Sugar’ Rashad Evans as they once again transfer their mixed martial arts skills from the Octagon to the big screen.

Death Warrior is released by E1 Entertainment on Monday 26 July 2010 and to celebrate the release, we’ve got five copies of the film and five copies of Unrivaled to give away.

Unrivaled also features full-contact fighting sequences and stars the current UFC Lightweight title holder BJ ‘The Prodigy’ Penn. As the tagline says: “Some win. Some lose. Some are born to fight. Every cage has its king.”
