works in a high school and become an Ultimate fighting fighter to win money for saving

the musical program of the school.

Mr. Voss is a good person and teacher, but he has lost his spark to teach, so he just goes

to the school and not put effort in teaching, in the same way, his students do not pay

attention to his class. Then we have Marty, who is a teacher of music, he loves teaching

and his students love him and the class. Later, Marty finds out that his wife is pregnant,

although they are old. One day the principal from the school says in a meeting that the

school needs to cut some budgets, so they have to cut the music program. Mr. Voss

discusses very hard with the principal to help his colleague to not get fired, and the end,

he says that all the teachers will give the 48.000 dollars to save the program;

unfortunately, just the nurse of the school, Bella, helps them.

Scott does not even know what to do to solve this big problem, so he decides to do some

extra classes at night in a citizen program as a start; here he meets Niko, who is an ex

Ultimate fighting fighter. Mr. Voss realizes that he could win a lot of money in those kinds

of fights, even if he loses or win the fights. He is so desperate that he begins training;

despite he is really bad at it. With the past of the time, Scott starts winning a lot of money

with the amateur fights, and he becomes a better person and teacher, because he realizes

that people need to do the biggest effort and fight every day for themselves and for

others, he enjoys again teaching and his students do respect him now.

Later, Scott receives the opportunity to fight in the real Ultimate fighting champions, and

with this fight he could win the last 10.000 dollars that they need, even if he loses,

because it is going to be 50.000 dollars reword for the winner and 10.000 for the loser.

They are waiting for the fight, when they find out in the news that the vice principal of the

school was embezzling the funding of the school, therefore Scott has to win the fight now

to save the music program. He fights dramatically with all his soul and win thanks to the

support from Marty, Bella, Niko and all the students of the school.

Finally, the music program is saved and Scott becomes the hero and one of the best
