There has been on an ongoing trend lately where celebrities and professional sports stars are making the jump over to the world of MMA (mixed martial arts).
Some use the fastest-growing sport in the world as an outlet to get their name back out to the general public, a publicity stunt if you will. Major League Baseball superstar Jose Canseco did just that and made a fool out of himself against 7’2 “Techno Goliath” Hong Man Choi in Japan.
Others, however, truly do have a passion for the competition of combat and grew up training in traditional martial arts. Former green Power Ranger Jason David Frank and NFL legend Herschel Walker come to mind and while they may be mocked for stepping into a cage one can certainly admire their passion.
The problem is with so many celebrities trying to transition into MMA it’s hard to separate the posers from the real fighters. Well here’s the solution, let’s take sixteen celebrities including movie stars, musicians, professional athletes, even politicians and have them prove themselves on The Ultimate Fighter.
The Ultimate Fighter: Celebrity Deathmatch will feature an open-weight mixed gender tournament featuring some of the most high profile stars in the world today. The format will follow TUF season 4: The Comeback where there are no individual coaches other than the guys brought in to help the celebrities train.
Also the winner of the competition instantly earns a title shot against UFC Heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, regardless of their weight class.
Different from previous seasons, the matchups will be predetermined by a mentally challenged orangutan. With that being said let’s take a look at the first round brackets for what is sure to be the highest rated show in television history.
