Shane

When he steps into the ring of his first MMA fight in over a year, we see the tattoo on Shane Krutchen’s back: 19 names and the days they died in Iraq. A Marine from age 17 onward, Shane returned from action asking for help with his horrific nightmares. He was immediately ostracized, discharged and sent to a VA that had very little understanding of PTSD. His spiral led to a suicide attempt in 2009, but his connection with a WWP outreach coordinator helped him get clean, and MMA turned out to be the medicine he needed. Now married and expecting a child, Shane puts his 10-2 professional record on the line. We follow his days before a fight that honors the friends he lost.
