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.

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.
