The Iron Ring

New BET MMA reality show. Here's a quick description:

The premise is fairly simple: Just bring in plenty of young and marginally experienced MMA fighters and let them compete for a spot on a team. Once on a team, they'll be coached by MMA veterans and, in a twist, their teams are "owned" by some of today's biggest rappers.

Sounds like it stinks. Full story:

It does indeed stink. Worst MMA (if you can call it that) show EVER. 99% of the people involved (refs included) wouldn't know a submission attempt if it bit 'em in the... well, you know. I actually witnessed a Ref stand up two fighters in MID-SUBMISSION!
Mayweather, of course, comes across as a complete tool as always (you have money, we get it already.)
This show can't get cancelled soon enough.

On a positive note, I can't wait to see Wanderlei Silva school Keith Jardine this month at UFC 84!

Great review. I see I made the right choice in avoiding it.

Yeah, Jardine's in for a big problem. I don't think Wand will let him chop away with those kicks all night like Chuck did.
