The UFC has been around for nearly 27 years. It is considered by many to be the top promotion in the sport of mixed martial arts. While it is broadcast on ESPN and the UFC brand is a household name, that wasn't always the case.

The UFC had a long, rough road to becoming the $4 billion MMA behemoth that it is and there's a lot of history to look back on. Fortunately, there have been many documentaries made along the way to keep a record of the UFC and the sport of MMA.

UFC Fight Pass is the UFC’s longtime streaming service. The entire UFC library is on the service but they produce some original content and the premiere of UFC Chronicles on the service features a look at Josh Samman who was a fighter with a heart that may have been too big for him to deal with. The story is both tragic and beautiful, but it is worth watching to see inside the life of a fighter like Samman.
