Wakati akiwa kwenye upigaji picha za wanamitindo huko Bogotá, Kolombia, Ford alitambulishwa kwa matador mashuhuri Luis Miguel Dominguín na kumtazama akipigana uwanjani. Mapema baadae, Ford aliondoka New York kwenda nchini Mexiko kufundisha kama mpiganaji wa ng'ombe. Mnamo 1954, Warner Bros walifanya rekodi fupi juu ya mafunzo yake, "Beauty and the Bull".[4]

Mechi yake ya kwanza ya kihistoria huko Plaza México ilifuatiwa na miaka kadhaa ya mapigano kama figura (watu mashuhuri wa kupigana na ng'ombe) huko Mexiko na Ufilipino. Studio ya MGM, ambayo ilikuwa imempa mkataba wa kuigiza kabla ya kuondoka New York kuwa mpiganaji wa ng'ombe, ilipanga filamu ya urefu kamili kulingana na hadithi yake ya maisha, na ikatuma waandishi kadhaa, kati yao John Meston, muundaji mwenza wa Gunsmoke , kukutana na Ford na kujadili juu ya skrini. Ford alioa Meston muda mfupi baada ya kukutana na kisha alistaafu kama mpiganaji wa ng'ombe.[5]
