Hint to Affliction: How about a Reality Series of 16 Women MMA Fighters . . . ?

Note to Affliction: Since you are not biased against women fighting in MMA, why not follow your famous predicessor's example? That example is develop a reality series about a group of 16 young women who have dreams of fighting in the MMA, put them in a very large house, have them living, training, and competing with each other to determine who is the best fighter among them?

Now I agree that it has been done before.  The UFC's TUF series will be up to its #8 offering this fall.  And that is exactly my point -- it has been done before successfully, and opened the world up to MMA.  Now it is your chance to put a little twist on it.

Promote women in MMA, which is your business adversaries' Ultimate Poison (should that be considered as the title?) and the way they launched their enterprise and made it so popular.

Just think:  You will get the 18 to 34 year old males who are always interested in MMA and also pull in a similar age range of young women.  Now add to that all the curious and voyeuristic folks that fall out of that age range but are always alert for the next 'new' thing in reality TV.

Let's not forget the "older" men who are so appreciative of firmly toned female bodies and of course their equally curious counterparts who want to share their spouses' "couch potato" time, and it is bound to eclipse that 'other' series altogether! 

Wow! What an opportunity!

Additionally it will put the spotlight on the new and hopefully up and coming sport of Women's MMA!  Could any plan do it better?

Naturally there will be instances of catty behavior; that is guaranteed with that many women locked up together with no men, TV, phones, or dating allowed. 

It will require an unimaginable amount of blow dryers, beauty products, fat free food, and precious little (real skimpy or sexy) workout outfits and chic athletic shoes (for when they are not training in the gym).

And let us not forget bikinis for the pool area (until the girls get rowdy and then naughtily slip them off for moonlight swims).  I can visualize it, can't you?

The food fights will be different in nature; recipe variances may cause strife between the women who actually know how to prepare meals. Alcohol won't be an issue due to the empty calories that could cause ensuing weight problems and bloated tummies.  

And naturally, hormonal upsets will cause all sorts of bickering and possibly even fits of shoe throwing when the ladies experience the typical mood swings of PMS.

Perhaps the biggest challenge will be the camera crew, and here I would recommend veterans who have covered the war in Iraq, just to be on the safe side. I think it is a safe prediction that the ladies will be much more hostile towards the crew and more likely to snap than the worst of the men on TUF ever have been.

But in the end the women's fighting spirit in the octagon will steal the show and the hearts of viewers all over the world as they risk beautiful bodies and faces to attempt to demolish their opponents and lay waste to their elaborate hairdos; they may even break some nails in the process.

Whoa, and the merchandising opportunities this will lead to can pay for the production itself.  Shampoo, deodorant, lotion for those nasty callouses developed by Muay Thai punches and kicks.  The possibilities are endless!

Now who will say that they wouldn't tune in faithfully for a show like this?

Of course, I will have a front row seat--it is, after all, my idea.
