Fighters are dying and the police are investigating. Sammo initially can't convince the boss to try out until he disposes of four in a comical scene involving barbells and a pool cue going off as a missile. Then, "bring in the fat Chinese guy." Story paints a bleak post-Rollerball picture of ultimate fighting. Yes, doping is involved. "The more people die, the more money they make."

The first stand-alone episode of the show

Warning: Spoilers
DEAD RINGERS is the third-ever episode of MARTIAL LAW and the first to be a completely stand-alone story. This one's about an underground fighting ring in which the action is broadcast live on the Internet (an early variant of a plot which would end up being used countless times in low budget action cinema in the 2000s). Contestants keep dying and the LAPD think there's a conspiracy involved, so Sammo and his buddies go in to investigate. Inevitably Sammo gets to fight in the arena himself, in a handful of fun scenes. Elsewhere, Tammy Lauren's character continues to irritate and Kelly Hu has little to do, but it's engaging enough regardless.
