Religion plays an important role in sports culture. Before the start of a game, it is not uncommon to see players kneel down to pray in the end zone -- especially in some of the more violent sports. The documentary "Fight Church," takes on the challenge of examining this paradoxical relationship: The film, which is helmed by co-directors Daniel Junge and Bryan Storkel, focuses on the relationship between Christianity and mixed martial arts -- the latter of which is a form of fighting that happens to be taught in Christian ministries across the world. In this exclusive clip from the film, a martial arts instructor, two UFC fighters and a priest contemplate the religious merits of engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
