Concord native and Strikeforce Middleweight fighter, Eric Lawson is featured during the opening sequence in Never Surrender, a movie about cagefighters starring GSP, Anderson Silva, Rampage Jackson, BJ Penn, and a host of other pro fighters.

Although the movies' star is not a mainstream fighter (Hector Eschavarria), the movie does have a talented list of fighters on the roster, and recognizable names for venues and sponsors on the cage that they fight in. Of course, not all of the fights happen in a cage, but I will save that for the review.

Kudos are in order for Eric Lawson on his movie debut, and on his latest TKO victory over Waylon Kennell on the Shamrock vs. Diaz event on April 11t, at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. His latest victory brings his record to (9-2).

Lawson has recently stated that his fights will be on main fight card in the future, which will give him even greater exposure, and pit him against even more dangerous opponents.

Lawson stated that he does not have an opponent yet, but believes his next fight will take place in Washington at the Tacoma Dome.

Keep an eye out for my review of this movie, along with several other MMA related movies in the very near future. Never Surrender is currently available for rental at Blockbuster video stores.
