When Mark Kerr walks into a room, there’s a quiet gravity that follows him. Fans know him as “The Smashing Machine,” the legendary wrestler and former UFC heavyweight champion whose strength, grit, and sheer willpower made him one of the most feared competitors of his time. But when he visited Auragens, what stood out wasn’t his past dominance in the ring but rather his openness, his curiosity, and his determination to write an even better next chapter.
Over the past year, Mark has spent time with our team receiving treatment at our center, asking tough questions, and exploring the possibilities of regenerative medicine done safely, ethically, and with real scientific rigor. He sat with our physicians and researchers, learning how Auragens put evidence ahead of hype and patients ahead of profit.
At one point, he turned to the camera and spoke plainly, in his own words, about why he came here. It wasn’t for headlines. It wasn’t for show. It was for knowledge, for truth, and for a path that would honor the years he’s put his body through.
And now, the rest of the world will have the chance to see Mark’s story in an entirely new light. On Friday, October 3, the feature film The Smashing Machine hits theaters nationwide. The movie dives deep into the life of a man who helped define an era of combat sports. A man who fought not only opponents but also battles outside the ring. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the kind of story that resonates with anyone who has ever faced adversity and asked, what comes next?
At Auragens, we are honored to be a part of Mark’s ongoing journey. His visits remind us that healing and resilience are not just about fighting through pain, they’re about finding better ways forward, grounded in science, safety, and respect for the individual.
This story matters to us all
