CineMMA: The classic films of combat sports - The Set-Up

We already know you love face-punching, or you wouldn’t be here. But, if you love movies as well, then we’ve got a brand new show for you. Each episode, John S. Nash and Zane Simon will be diving in to one of history’s great combat sports movies for a closer look at how the real world themes of fighting translate to the big screen.

In general, the focus will keep to actual combat sports displayed on film - there will be a lot of boxing - so we’ll largely be staying away from Kung Fu movies and their ilk.
