looks like a great way for fighters to get exposure and that means getting paid, so i dont see what the big deal is.

I agree. As long as it's real and taken seriously. I think it will bring more ethnic fans to the sport as well seeing as Blacks and latinos (in the hiphop generation) are more into Boxing.

lol kinda had that throws up initial response myself. I watched the teaser video and seems that everyone is indeed black but it was a real short video. It is going to be shown on BET though so makes sense. I think that is the whole idea though to bring this ethnic hip hip MMA show I guess. I personally am not fond of the idea at all. To me it looks like fighters with thug attitudes in MMA fights while mixing in rap stars to draw a more ethnic audience.

BTW I thought TI was in jail??

The Iron Ring

Judging from bits and pieces of the trailer there are maybe 2 or 3 white dudes.

I also love how they emphasize brass knuckles on the promotional poster. Really has to do with MMA,and really shines a good light on all fighters. Why not toss in some pipes,bats,knives,and broken beer bottles while theyre at it?

Im all for fighters getting tv time,and making a living. But what buisness does Lil Jon and Nelly have 'coaching' or over seeing 'MMA Teams '? Could you have picked more ridiculous coaches/team 'owners'?

Comedy Central should do something similar to this...Pauly Shore,Andy Dick,Dave Chappelle,George Lopez,and Dave Attell duke it out with their teams of of MMA fighters!which cage coachin comedian will crush the competition?!? tune into Funny Ring and find out!!

Sarcasim aside,This is simply BET capatilizing on the current MMA mainstream buzz for a big payday.Nothing more,nothing less. It will come off horribly for the sport,and likely(hopefully) will be quickly cancelled.

It looks like a bad idea. Unless it has someone involved that is legitimately connected to the sport running it (as a minimum requirement) I don't see how you can view this as a good thing simply because of some cash payout.

.

i think thats an outline of a fist, not brass knux. that would be pretty funny if it was though. this looks like its going to be total crap. a bad attempt to cash in on the sport imo. hopefully we'll see some decent fighters come out of it. thats about all the hope i have for that show.
