    Zack Snyder to Direct UFC Championship Movie “Brawler”

    Zack Snyder (“300, “Justice League” )is taking an unexpected turn from superhero epics to raw combat sports storytelling. He’s stepping into the octagon to direct “Brawler,” the first-ever UFC championship movie. Specifically, this project marks a significant milestone for both Hollywood and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, bringing authentic mixed martial arts drama to the big screen. The collaboration between Snyder’s visual style and UFC’s competitive spirit promises to deliver an unprecedented sports film experience, with filming set to take place across Las Vegas and Riyadh. Thus marking a significant departure from his recent work on fantasy epics like “Rebel Moon” parts 1 and 2.

    The collaboration brings together three major forces: Snyder’s cinematic vision, UFC’s combat sports expertise, and the financial backing of Saudi Arabia’s entertainment sector. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia and owner of The Ring Magazine, played a crucial role in bringing this partnership to life.

    “I’ve been a fan of Zack’s work for years,” Alalshikh said. “His unique style – from his iconic action sequences to his sweeping visuals and intensely emotional storytelling – coupled with his humanized portrayal of deeply-flawed characters is singular. I couldn’t think of a better person to partner with to bring the UFC to the big screen.”

    This enthusiasm was echoed by UFC CEO Dana White, who emphasized the shared creative vision driving the project: “The Turki Alalshikh and Zack Snyder have a shared vision to create a film about UFC. They are both very passionate about this project to show fans what it takes to become a UFC champion.”

    “Behind every great fighter is the story of how they got there,” explained Snyder in a statement. “UFC is the world leader in combat sports, and I’m honored to be partnering with them to tell this incredible story.”

    According to the official logline, “Brawler” will follow a young fighter rising from the rough streets of Los Angeles who gets a shot at a UFC championship while battling personal demons in a fight for redemption. This underdog narrative aligns with classic sports film traditions while providing Snyder an opportunity to apply his visual sensibilities to authentic combat sequences.

    “Brawler” will be produced through Stone Quarry, Snyder’s production company that he runs alongside his wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller. Meanwhile, Alalshikh and UFC Chief Content Officer Craig Borsari will serve as executive producers, ensuring the film maintains authenticity within the UFC universe.

    The partnership demonstrates UFC’s growing interest in scripted entertainment as the mixed martial arts organization looks to expand its media footprint beyond live events. Consequently, this collaboration represents a strategic move for both the filmmaker and the fighting promotion as they venture into new creative territory together.
