What It Takes

What it Takes is a Short Sports Documentary following Mixed Martial Artist and UFC Prospect Mason Jones on the lead up to his triumphant return to the biggest Mixed Martial Arts fight league in the world and and former UFC legend Jack Shore as he prepares one of his students for their amateur MMA debut.

This is mixed with sit down interviews of both fighter and former fighter to answer the question of what it takes to live a life of brutal discipline, black eyes and bloody noses.

The film has been officially accepted into the Fighting Spirit Film Festival, premearing at the Hackney Picture House from the 13th to the 14th of September 2025! for more information, click the learn more button.
