Cage Fighting Women

About This Movie

Cage Fighting Women offers a raw glimpse into the intense world of female cage fighting, focusing on Rosi Sexton and Lisa Higo. The documentary captures their grit as they prepare for significant fights across the pond in America. The pacing is pretty straightforward, but it’s the atmosphere that really pulls you in—grimy gyms, heavy breathing, and the palpable tension before a match. You get a real sense of the sacrifices they make, especially Lisa being a mother and a fighter, juggling family life with the brutal sport. The practical effects of their training and the fights themselves are visceral, showcasing the physicality and emotional stakes involved. It’s a fascinating look at empowerment and the complexities of gender in a traditionally male-dominated arena.
