Directed by Carlos Arrieta, CEO of ROAR Post, and co-produced by Dansby, this documentary spans six years, capturing the highs and lows of Dansby’s pursuit a becoming a kickboxing champion as viewers are invited to immerse themselves in his life, witnessing his battles against career-threatening injuries, family dynamics, and the emotional toll that comes with competing against much younger fighters.

Filmed in Miami, Taking the Fight began as a spontaneous project when Arrieta, intrigued by Dansby’s story, picked up a camera during a conversation. “I thought Stuart was crazy to take these fights,” Arrieta recalled. “But as I listened to his story, I quietly started recording. Eight years later, we have this incredible narrative that will resonate across generations.”
