Well if it isn't "Beautiful Disaster" (2023) - Mark II! "Sienna" (Kiana Madeira) is a fight trainer who gets a bit narked when her cage-fighting boyfriend "Jax" (Matthew Noszka) hooks up with her little sister. Not only narked, but now homeless! Luckily her pal knows of fellow fighter "Kayden" (Ross Butler - think Henry Golding with muscles) who might have a room to spare. Unsurprisingly he's not interested, but after a meet at a fight where things get a little bit heated, she manages to convince him that only with her help can he hope to win out against the more experienced, and ruthless "Jax".

Everyone is easy enough on the eye, and some of the fight scenes do convey some of the athleticism, stamina and skill (as well as the ocassional brutality) of this gruelling sport; but the acting is pretty terrible and the whole thing - especially at the end - is hugely over-scripted.
