Mixed martial arts (MMA) has captivated the world with the skill, technicality, and showmanship of its fighters.
But while the theatrics, striking, and grappling provide the immediate thrill of the sport, the characters of the series Kingdom show us that there’s more to these fights than just the outward spectacle. In the show, we see that the internal battles of fighters are just as important as their five rounds in the cage.
Nate, ably played by actor/singer/popstar Nick Jonas, wants to prove that he is still one of Navy Street’s strongest despite a brutal street beat down and his reserved personality.
Ryan (Matt Lauria), a lightweight division champion meanwhile is fighting to overcome the mental toll of an injured body as he prepares for a title defense.
