Great insight into mixed martial arts and mixed martial artists
After many years of thinking this to be just another one of those baseless reality television programmes, I finally gave it a try, loved it and just finished watching seasons 1 and 6.

What is it? A number of mixed martial artists are gathered to live together, train together and fight one another in a ring/cage/'Octagon' (call it what you will) over a prolonged period of time in a 'winer stays on' tournament style set-up. The winner of the tournament is awarded a six-figure contract to fight with the Ultimate Fighting Championship organisation.

I found both seasons to be a good insight into the training of mixed martial artists but more so a great insight into the mind and motivation of the fighters. I definitely plan to catch up on seasons 2 to 5 and look forward with excitement to season 7 (to be coached by current light-heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and winner of season 1 Forrest Griffin!), which will be filmed and aired later this year.

Bored with the usual then try this!
If you want to watch the sport that will be number one very shortly then look no further. The UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championship, pits martial artists against one another in the Octagon, a enclosed cage. With few rules, the idea is to enflict as much damage as possible, knocking the opponent out if possible. If you want real, fullon fighting than this is for you. In the Ultimate fighter, the UFC takes 16 of the best unsigned mixed martial arts fighters, puts them all together in the same house, no tv, no phone, training most of the day. Watch the sparks fly! I thoroughly recommend this to anyone and everyone!

UFC reality TV
This is were it all started. See Forrest Griffin, Diego Sanchez, Josh Koshcheck and Chris Leben etc before they were famous and before they were UFC fighters.

During the first series of 'The Ultimate Fighter' we were introduced to many future starts all competing in this reality TV mixed martial arts competition.

If your a MMA fan and you havnt seen this series before; then this is a must buy.
