This movie was so bad, that you have to watch it! The main reason you should watch this horrible movie is because the acting is pretty good, that’s not the problem. Go watch for yourself, you’ll see what I mean.
The movie opens with the worst car crash scene ever filmed, it’s pathetic. It’s almost like they had no budget for it. However, it’s followed up by brilliant acting from MMA legends Cowboy Donald Cerrone and Chael Sonnen. Seriously, give these guys a real budget next time and it’ll be epic!

One aspect that sets “Mojave Diamonds” apart from other MMA films is the inclusion of real-life MMA personalities throughout. From Quinton Jackson to the Cowboy Donald Cerrone and Uncle Chael Sonnen who scored big in the opening lines (me not knowing there was star studded MMA champs! Me: “Is that Cheal? Uncle Chael as in the Champion MMA super star Chael Sonnen?), the film seamlessly integrates these renowned figures into the story, adding an authentic touch to the characters and on-screen action. Their presence not only enhances the realism of the fight scenes but also provides a deeper sense of credibility to the overall production.
Despite being a low-budget film, “Mojave Diamonds” proves that great storytelling and remarkable acting can triumph over any technical limitations.

The fight sequences are expertly captured, immersing the audience in the raw energy and adrenaline of the bouts. The film’s pacing keeps viewers engaged from start to finish, maintaining a gripping momentum that mirrors the intensity of the MMA world.
