This is not a positive thing for MMA especially when the participants aren't trained well enough. Maybe I will watch this when I check out Never Back Down, ha!

UFC is used WAY too much in this email. The use of Octagon is a very dangerous one, if this were a legit idea. and finally. Let be real. anything handled by Zuffa and or a legit television company is not going to use F'N GMAIL for it's casting call. UFCshowcasting (at) gmail BWHAAHAHAHAHA Laughable #7 I couldn’t agree more.

I would love to absolutely destroy someone I dislike who has no combat sports experience at all. Sign me up! Oh wait... it's in Cali, forget it, shit idea. Tito is a moron if this is true.

If anybody's watched the low-rent swingfest called So You Wanna Fight, it is quite similar to what's proposed but without dramatic backstory. In this case, it appears to be MMA instead of just boxing. I'm sure with enough media hype and marketing dollars, some network is bound to carry it. However, I just wouldn't want to see it cheapen the legitimacy of MMA as a sport. I am on board with recruiting and educating new fans on MMA, but I almost feel that this will attract the bloodsport crowd as opposed to those that will truly enjoy the technical aspect of it. I personally believe I would not enjoy this past watching the first episode out of curiosity. However, I will reserve judgement until it's all out of the table.

He's pushing for a lawsuit…he wants to get sued to get his name out there some more so he seems like a victim.

Dana would sue his own family if they used the name. But, Tito who he hates keeps on referring to anything fight related as UFC-related. There is definitely something fishy goign on. With all the lawsuits lately, Tito can not be dumb enough to use something that will get his ass sued Something is up with the repeated use of the UFC.

Dana White was always a big boxing fan. I believe the weekly show they wanted to run was something similar to ESPN’s Friday Night Fights – showing one or two live fights a week.
