This 13 episode reality TV show goes live on September 25th and features Educational and Instructional programming showcasing sixteen ultimate women dedicated to the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and overcoming extraordinary challenges. Each episode immerses the women in real life challenges surrounding everyday issues that many Americans face, such as obesity, education and literacy, homelessness, foster care, cancer and disabilities. Each contest will reward the winner, or penalize the loser, while imparting educational information on nutrition, fitness, general health and wellness, financial management, and other relevant information. All challenges will be both entertaining and enlightening and will ultimately benefit a charitable cause whose works will be highlighted. The charities will be presented with a donation in the name of the contestant who wins the challenge.

The program is hosted by Joanna Krupa and Amber Nicole. Joanna was name the World’s Sexiest Swimsuit Model and has been featured on many magazine covers. She also appeared in Superstar with Terrell Owen and Dancing with the Stars. She is also hosting Poland’s Next Top model with Tyra Banks.

Amber has been featured in many top magazines as well. She is a Las Vegas Celebrity and her likeness appears on numerous billboards around Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

“Although we embraced this opportunity on many levels, it was the charitable approach that really resonated with Throwdown” reported David Vautrin, CEO Throwdown Industries. “The series also features The Throwdown Training Center in Las Vegas, it’s leadership, trainers and Throwdown techniques. The training center provided authenticity to the program as it is the home of many well known top MMA fighters like Forrest Griffin, Evan Dunham, Amir Sadollah, Matt Riddle, Todd Duffee and many others. The UWC program is lead by Pro-Fighter John Wood.” John is an incredible mentor and coach and really connects with fighters irrespective of the gender”

“Throwdown and its team have been paramount in the production of the Ultimate Women Challenge”, commented Lyle Howry, President of LHP entertainment. “Although we had initially considered filming this production in Hollywood, we determined that for the first season we would utilize one of the nation’s top MMA Training Centers while utilizing Las Vegas as the setting for many of the challenges.

The Throwdown Training Center has been featured on many programs and publications like Fight Magazine, Countdown to UFC, and MMA Business to name a few.
