there is a good article on sherdog in regards to this new show on BET called The Iron Ring, anyone read it? if so what are your feelings on it...does anyone else agree that it is a farce and the people behind its existence should be publicly flogged?

also does it now show how stupid most rappers really are? hahaha i had to throw that in

Since no one watches BET, I'd say no.

It can't be worse than what Southern rap is doing to hip hop.

Before people start posting racist crap and this thread gets closed, I'm going to go ahead and agree with you. That show is horrible and does a terrible disservice to MMA.

Is there a way to look up the ratings for that show? I'm really hoping it tanks and gets pulled before it finishes its first season. I would BET that it will.

At least that much. That show is awful. Makes MMA look like ghetto trash street fighting. Who is the African King referee? He alone makes the sport look like crap.

Shouldn't this thread be closed on account of the fact that its way off topic?
