Golden Ticket Fight Promotions is a regional Mixed Martial Arts show, showcasing some of the UK and Europe’s top talent as well as the finest MMA fighters the West Midlands has to offer. Run by former Bellator Lightweight prospect Dan “Pork Chop” Cassell, GTFP has strong foundations as a grass-roots program for future MMA stars. The likes of UFC flyweight Jake Hadley and Bellator title challenger Fabian Edwards have all come through the ranks at GTFP.

GTFP hired us to emulate the infamous behind-the-scenes, pre-show documentary style production “UFC embedded” in the run up to Mario Saeed vs Thomas Paull. Thomas has since fought on Dana White’s Contender Series and has signed for Cage Warriors.

This series episode retrospectively serves as a time-capsule into deaf superstar Thomas Paull’s rollercoster career. Thomas continues to be the poster-boy for deaf sports stars and was hugely inspiring to be around. This one was a real privilege to film and we have since followed Thomas’ career religiously.
