Dudus: dudus is the rain of pain! She is armed with a heat-seeking fare (sling shot) and an insatiable thirst to inflict pain on all her opponents. In the ring, Dudus is incredibly fast and tirelessly focused. By the time she begins the rain of pain, the fight is already over. First introduced to the ring when she was 10, Dudus is a legend in the mengo underworld. She is the reigning world champion; her path to victory colored with the screams of her opponents.

Somewhere in downtown nairobi, in an old abandoned warehouse, is a secret fight club called mengo. Every month, hardcore fighters.With years of intense training and fighting meet up for the sole purpose of beating each other up. It doesn't matter what one does during the day. When darkness falls, it's time for pain. Mengo is not like other fight clubs; its fighters are exclusively people of short stature.
No one knows who owns or runs the secretive, highly organized underground fight club. It’s been said that it is an elite wealthy group of former fighters that sponsors and manages the network. All we know is that attendance is by invitation only and an invite means you have to fight.
