Best reality show on TV, IMO. No gimmicky games, no "voted off", just a group of guys who trained their asses off to compete for a shot at the career of choice, mixed martial arts. Bear in mind, these guys didn't send in an audition tape to MTV...they earned multiple black belts, competed in collegiate wrestling, boxed, and are skilled in disciplines ranging from Muay Thai to Jujitsu to Greco Roman wrestling to kickboxing, etc. Yes, they are all strangers living in a house...but they don't leave the house other than to train 8-10 hours a day, and they fight every week to work their way up the ladder to the finals. Here is a fight from last week pitting Matt Brown, a genuine badass who most of the guys in the house wanted no part of, vs. Amir Sadollah...a nobody in the ultimate fighting ranks. The entire show leading up to the fight featured interviews of Amir saying he was basically scared out of his mind, but the two were friends and going to go out and do what they do as professionals.
Enjoy:

i love watching sweaty, lubed up and ripped, half naked men groping and straddling each other's faces with their crotches trying to force the other into a submission.
that said, i thought this thread to be the most appropriate to break the 300-post cherry. thank you core.

New premiere last night, should be another good season.
Unlike the other reality shows (cough...American Idol...cough), the winners and even the losers of this show end up being champions and huge stars.

Have not seen any this season yet, but I enjoyed the past seasons. There were some great fights and it was interesting seeing the interactions between the fighters. Some of them were genuine jerks, but most of them were normal guys who just love punching people in the face and trying to choke them to death.

:shock:
Didn't even know about it, that's a scary matchup because I'm not 100% convinced that anyone can stand up to the pure power of Brock.

Yeah, was totally shocking...especially since the guy was a last minute replacement for Shamrock!

Not really that shocking.
Have you seen the follow-up controversy where the guy basically said he was paid to keep the fight standing up?

I am really disappointed with Shamrock as of right now . His brother seemed that way as well .
But I will be honest if I were Seth petruzelli I would most likely have coming at him like a raging meth head too . If Kimbo would have landed that right he would have been done.
On a side Note I am completely in love with Gina Carano. I wish I could fight like her. She rocks .

Well, yeah...but the reason was to protect Kimbo, because a standup fight favored him (supposedly), particularly because Seth Petruzelli is a wrestling guy!

I don't think they favor Kimbo he comes from street fighting with no real pro tranning . I think they hate that he can pull a Tank and KO people that have been trained .

Of course. The result was the last thing EliteXC wanted. Pretty funny though.
You can only protect the image of someone like Kimbo so far. Either he gets to be a cult favorite (but loser) like Tank or he learns takedowns and defense. MMA has just gotten too sophisticated for a pure puncher.

They do favor him. He is a marketable name and a draw.

That he is but IDK I have mixed feelings on this .
Side note : the old guys need to retire shamrock was i would bet scared so he went Emo lol.
He wanted to talk about disrespect but he shoved kimbo during weight in.
I use to love him as a fighter but now I just dont know.
back to Gina ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she came out of her fight without even a bump on that pretty face :D

Yeah, Shamrock's been done for a while. He embarrassed himself in the last Tito debacle, talking trash for months and then being utterly destroyed.

Uhh, Tank actually won fights back in the day. He didn't get KOed in 14 seconds by no-names.
I haven't seen Kimbo fight anyone legitimate and win. Ever.
