The WEC and VS. may need a TUF style reality show but i don't think the fans do. The TUF format has been used to death. would a watred down WEC version be any better?

The TUF format has been used to death. would a watred down WEC version be any better?

Just the costs involved would hurt WEC. Not a bad idea in theory, but just as the saying goes, "It takes money to make money". Maybe WEC can do a "TUF"-style program without having to use Mark Burnett, otherwise, I don't know if it could succeed. I’m not sure that the WEC is quite ready to do a “TUF” format just yet.

News to me! Muay Thai might be a lot of fun. Call me crazy but I loved Fight Girls. “While it might be old news to some, the Comcast-owned network has a deal in place with Mark Burnett’s production company that gives it the broadcast rights to both “Contender” franchises for boxing and Muay Thai.”
