ESPN Films’ Peabody and Emmy award-winning 30 for 30 series airs “Chuck & Tito” tomorrow night, Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
“As individuals, Chuck and Tito each took turns being the face of the UFC,” said director Micah Brown. “As rivals, they were the most lucrative matchup in MMA history at that time. This film is important not only to celebrate their tremendous careers, but also to explore the psychology behind why fighters fight, and how those contrasting perspectives impacted them as individuals. And, more than that, ‘Chuck & Tito’ is about identity, friendship, and the cost of chasing your dream.”
The film chronicles the fighters’ careers in the early days of the UFC, and explores the unlikely success of MMA in this “brutally honest” documentary with a who’s who of supporting characters, including UFC President Dana White, fighters Ken Shamrock and Randy Couture, and UFC Commentator Joe Rogan.
Original music for “Chuck & Tito” was composed and recorded by multi-Grammy Award-nominated producer and artist JT Daly.
