MMA comes to MSNBC in the form of the program “Warrior Nation”.
"Warrior Nation" is a 4 part mini-series that follows the lives of various fighters and what they do to prepare for the grueling sport of MMA. Here is what the MSNBC site says about the future min-series.

The series will broadcast on consecutive Tuesdays starting January 9th. at 10 P.M. Eastern Time. The interesting thing is that the series will even feature some women MMA athletes. Here is the schedule and participants:
