UFC Hall of Famer & NCAA Wrestling Legend
Mark Kerr Biography
Mark Kerr is a UFC Hall of Famer, ADCC World Champion, and NCAA wrestling legend widely recognized as one of the original giants of mixed martial arts. Known by fans as “The Smashing Machine,” Kerr rose to fame for his unmatched physical dominance and technical prowess in the early days of the sport, winning two UFC heavyweight tournaments and claiming double gold at the inaugural ADCC submission grappling championship.
Kerr’s meteoric rise while battling personal struggles with addiction and mental health is chronicled in the critically acclaimed 2002 HBO documentary "The Smashing Machine."
Now in long-term recovery, Kerr shares his powerful journey of transformation with audiences around the world, from world-class athlete to advocate for mental wellness. In sharing his personal journey “from smashing to soaring,” Kerr offers an unfiltered look at the price of greatness, the grit of reinvention, and the courage it takes to change. With humor, honesty, and hard-earned insight, Kerr speaks to athletes, executives, students, and mental health professionals alike.
Premiering worldwide on October 3, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will portray Kerr in A24’s biopic "The Smashing Mashine," ushering Kerr’s legacy into a new chapter grounded in truth, resilience, and hope.
