"The movie also gives viewers insight into what goes into an MMA fight. It's not just two guys getting paid to walk in a cage and try to take each other's heads off - it's two men dedicating their entire lives to a sport they love."

"This movie works."

"...the film is a thorough and honest portrayal of mixed martial arts...the final battle is intense. Winners and losers are irrelevant to the storyline, though, which centers on a dream."

" 'Under Pressure: Diary of a Cage Fighter's Wife',  is a well-crafted look at the men who are involved in the sport. Sturgis documents her husband's transistion from a mild-mannered truck driver to a lean, mean fighting machine. She skillfully interviews Todd's trainers and competitors in order to explain the sport and its strategy. When he is injured, she focuses on the careers of his fellow cage fighters, Jaime Jara and James Fanshier. The fight footage is gritty and riveting."

-Laurie Ann Hunter, THE PRESS TRIBUNE

"This compelling documentary begs the question, have you ever pursued your dreams...Really? Todd Sturgis did not follow his dream, he hunted it down. I highly recommend watching UNDER PRESSURE and then write down your dream and do it.

Tamera Sturgis the film's director does a terrific job of capturing the heartache, the blood, the sweat and the tears that it required for Todd to get to the top of a very large mountain.  This is an edge of your seat, bite your nails, shout for the hero film, with an ending that does not disappoint."

-Eric Harely, MIDNIGHT TRUCKING RADIO NETWORK

It's a provocative and gritty look inside the real world of cage fighters as seen through the loving eyes of a wife."

- Helen Raptis, KATU TV Portland, Oregon

"Accompanied by a thoughtful and appropriate original score, Under Pressure: Diary of a Cage Fighter's Wife is interesting viewing for anyone interested in giving MMA a go.... By getting a taste of other's experience, both good and bad, it may just help you make up your mind as to whether you really want to do it or not."

- Hywel Teague, FIGHTERS ONLY MAGAZINE,  England

"I loved this film....It offered great insight into the grassroots of the sport of M.M.A....It was both exciting and insightful."

- Ben Stone, BLITZ AUSTRALASIAN MARTIAL ARTS MAGAZINE

"Some still see the M.M.A. world as a brutal sport supported by borderline psychotic competitors, but Sturgis captures the true sacrifice laid down by the fighters and the emotional toll paid by their families in their quest for greatness in one of the world's grittiest sports."

- Bill Hicks,  The Grapevine Independent

"What a great film...Finally a view not often considered...looking through the eyes of the wife of a fighter... Many people don't realize what the wife of the fighter goes through. It isn't a physical battle like it is for the fighter, but sometimes the emotional side can be just as hard."

- Beth Franklin, wife of U.F.C. world champion Rich Franklin
