Mixed Martial B0nes

OK, so far I’ve seen a few of these shows and let’s just say right off the bat: This isn’t yo Daddy’s MMA show. We have team owners from some heavy heavy Rap hitters like Ludacris, Nelly and TI. We also have Floyd Mayweather on board as one of the only owners with ring experience. The coaches the teams have assembled are all old school guys back from the days that MMA really was **mixed** martial arts. Events used to look like a scene out of Bloodsport complete with the weird monkeystyle dude fighting against Bolo.

I’m going to give this thing a cautious “thumbs up.” The fighting is really really raw so far since they are all jockeying for position. Once the teams are all laid out, I’m sure that we’ll see some higher quality fights. For now, it’s all “gangsta” and hugging is ABSOLUTELY frowned upon. About the only two things I can’t stand so far is the stupid announcer yelling in my ear and Moneymaker Mayweather. He’s quite the farggin’ icehole if you know what that means… About the only time I warmed up to him was when he saw one fighter get his eye knocked up and sided with the doctors to keep him from fighting. One of the other old schoolers thought he was being a wuss. The guy’s eye was in awful shape so I think Money was right with protecting the fighter.

My pick for overall winning team so far is Team Luda. Ludacris has the right attitude and seems to be serious about winning this thing. I was hoping for a Kimbo sighting but I haven’t seen him at all on this show. Maybe we got punked on this one? Anyway, give it a shot on your DVR of choice, it’s only a half hour out of your life.
