Djimon Hounsou, 'Never Back Down', "steroid use unfortunate"
Monday Night Conversation with BlackTree TV's own Nan Khan as she sits down to talk with "Never Back Down" star Djimon Hounsou. In this candid conversation, she discusses, the new movie, 'Never Back Down', the importance of training, and Congress investigating steroid use of popular athletes like Roger Clemons, and Barry Bonds. Sit down and enjoy this 'Monday Night Conversation'Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts, NEVER BACK DOWN is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart. Jake Tyler, played by Sean Faris (Yours, Mine and Ours), is the new kid in town with a troubled past. He has recently moved to Orlando, Florida with his family who has relocated to support his younger brother's shot at a professional tennis career. Jake was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler.Making an attempt to fit in and at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Baja, played by Amber Heard (Hidden Palms, Alpha Dog), Jake goes to a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a bully named Ryan McCarthy, played by Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Who's Your Caddy). While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America).It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master. Roqua will take Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason within him to succeed. For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory. His decision will not just settle a score; it will define who he is.A BlackTree Media ProductionProduced by Jamaal FinkleyHosted by Ms. Nan Khanfor interviews and more log onto http://www.blacktree.tv

"i think all this mma figthing is just for ppl who get there ass beatin down all the time.."Really? When I was younger I didn't have a ton of street fights but never lost one of them. BUT when I first sparred in Thai boxing I got fatigued; it was all I could do to keep my guard up---and in BJJ, for the first few months I got owned several times. Now, I'm a far better fighter overall, especially with grappling. A skilled contact fighter will triumph over a bar tough guy most of the time.
