The 3rd Degree – with Kyra Gracie (two-part series, premieres September 8)
Every culture, in every corner of the globe, has a tradition of martial arts. Kyra Gracie – third degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and member of the legendary Gracie clan – travels the world seeking the roots of the world’s ancient fighting styles. Venturing beyond the bright lights of international competition, Kyra visits hole-in-the-wall gyms to encounter the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of their culture’s martial art.
In the first episode, Gracie travels across Brazil to better understand the richness of her native martial art. Then, in the second episode, Kyra travels completely out of her comfort zone – visiting the iconic Don Nacho gym in Mexico City to immerse herself in Mexican boxing. The first two episodes will premiere together on September 8, with UFC FIGHT PASS already committed to a full season of The 3rd Degree in 2016.
Pioneers of MMA: Bas Rutten (premieres September 15)
A brand new episode of the ground-breaking Original Series focuses on the career of Bas Rutten, the Dutch kickboxer whose terrifying striking helped him win championships in Pancrase and UFC, ultimately leading him to the UFC Hall of Fame. Featuring interviews with Rutten, Joe Rogan, Ronda Rousey and leading MMA historians, Pioneers of MMA is the definitive retrospective of true MMA icons.
Also, accompanying the Pioneers of MMA episode, UFC FIGHT PASS will present every single Rutten fight, in career order, from his September 1993 debut, his legendary bouts in Japan, his UFC championship run and his farewell fight in the World Fighting Alliance in 2006.

Legendary two-division UFC champion B.J. Penn gives a dramatic first-person account of his historic trilogy with Matt Hughes.

In the latest installment of the popular FIGHT PASS Original Series, Penn gives his side of the epic rivalry with Hughes.
