Is anyone still watching this?

I am but only because of interest in three fighters from the fight league I work for. Brian Rogers, John Fields and Joe Mccall are all fighters in the NAAFS and they made it onto the show so I'm watching it for that reason.

That's cool. I'm still watching it too but kinda losing interest. What's with the Mayweather v. Shonie drama?

Good luck to your boys!

I watched an episode of this show last night. A few things I noticed:

The production was very amature-ish.
The coaches have no idea what they're talking about (even Shonie, he wanted to let that guy fight w/ his eye swollen completely shut.)
Floyd Mayweather is a moron. He's supposed to be helping these up and coming MMA fighters, yet he's still trash talking MMA.
I want Shonie Carter to beat PBF down.

I'll probably Tivo it and just fast forward to the fights from now on.

Although the coaches are not that great the owners are really very ignorant concerning MMA. I know that they are not suppose to know alot about it b/c they are not MMA fighters but it looks very childish to pretend like you do when it is very evident that you dont. Ludicrus is the only 1 who appears to have any clue what-so-ever. It is retarded when they are on the ground for a few seconds and TI hollars out stand them up and then the ref follows the order; that is not MMA. Then TI claims that he invented the gullotine choke, those guys really have no clue. I will continue to watch via dvr b/c there are a few new fighters that look promising meaning we may see them in bigger orgs. at some point.....

I had a chance to meet a fighter who was touted as being a star of "BETs Iron Ring" by the name of Primus Moore on Saturday. I can't find any info on him on the Iron Rings site. He was expected to get beat by our schools local top 185 talent Eric West. Eric turned pro because we could no longer find amatuer fighters willing to fight him. Moor came out really strong, dominating the fight, even dropping West a couple of times, but crawled under the ropes and out of the ring in the second round, and wouldn't continue seemingly due to injury. Everyone there was rooting for West, but was impressed and showed great respect for Moore. He was a nice and down earth guy, making jokes and just hanging out after the fights.
