DISGUSTED!!! I am so tired of these other weak a$$ promotions and knock off versions of real mma producing garbage television. These are misguided and uneducated views of what MMA truly is! I wish I never even heard of that BET show. PATHETIC! I said it before and I’ll say it again, THOSE OF US ON HERE ARE AMONGST THE MORE HARDCORE FANS! WE GET IT! Therefore I respect all of your opinions and hope that many of you see these shows as more of an ailment to the rise of MMA. They give MMA a bad name and make it look worse. The average casual fan views these shows and weak promotions only to think they know MMA like the rest of us. Furthermore, military guys get their asses kicked all the time. There is nothing special about their skills. I respect them and appreciate what they do but the idea of the show just seems stupid to me.

What do they do if the pro is in the military? Pierre Guillet, a pro MMA fighter is also in the Air Force. His record is so-so, but he’s still pro.

Ya, It’s called Iron Ring. Rappers like T.I and Ludacris are the “team owners” and they travel around and pick mma guys for their teams and then they will fight eachother like TUF but with like 4 teams. Pretty Boy Floyd is also a team owner. Shonie Carter and Crazy Horse are some of the coaches as well. I just looked it up and you can watch the episodes on BET.COM. The rappers know **** about mma and T.I claims he made the guillotine famous and submisions are “His ****”.lol

Sounds cool but the best was on Pros v Joes when Bobby Sapp kick a dude and he flew 5 feet back
