Benson Henderson and Jon Jones talk about their commitment to Christianity in an upcoming documentary entitled, “Fight Church,” as reported by Deadline.com. The documentary follows pastors that moonlight as mixed martial artists.
Henderson and Jones are interviewed for this feature-length documentary which appears to grapple with the idea that men that teach the Bible also fight. Both fighters are devout Christians. The film is directed by Daniel Junge who won an Academy Award for his film, Saving Face. The trailer is via Deadline.
Payout Perspective:
After watching the trailer there are a lot of hot buttons that can be discussed including what looks to be children participating in fights and shooting guns. Henderson and Jones have made it known inside and outside of the Octagon that their religion is an important part of their lives. Thus, their participation is not controversial. Of course, we do not know the content of the documentary and what each says in their interviews. Until we go out and see the documentary we cannot we make a judgment on them.
