The Frank Dux Controversy
Frank Dux’s story inspired Bloodsport (1988), the Jean-Claude Van Damme film that introduced a generation to the idea of a secret, no-holds-barred fighting tournament. Dux claimed to have won a clandestine Kumite in the 1970s, along with a string of other extraordinary feats.
Many of those claims were questioned at the time, notably in a 1988 Los Angeles Times investigation, and have been disputed ever since. Whatever the truth, Bloodsport became a cult classic and is often cited by MMA fans and fighters as an early influence, years before the UFC made real no-holds-barred fighting a reality.
