What have YOU done for fighters? How have you helped the sport? Besides of having a sherdog yellow belt.
HAHAHA so gay get a life buddy

Because they own the company, that's why they are on it.

And to be fair, the people inquiring about your age have a valid point, you're tone and baseless accusations of them being jackasses -- since I assume you've never met them -- lends people to believe that you are completely clueless.

They own their own company which generates millions, and they support a sport that everyone on this Web site loves, what's wrong with that? And they look different, so what? Is this a virtual high school where we judge people because of what they wear?

Good point, but keep in mind the title of the thread...TS is asking about the show itself, not the guys in it. I agree that the show is ridiculous. The dudes themselves might be good for the sport, but I don't think that the show is. Read some of the comments in this thread - it's tough for some people who are already MMA fans to take them seriously, let alone people who aren't educated about the sport. Your average joe flipping the channels is going to think MMA is a joke if they think it's a bunch of guys who look like pro wrestlers.

Not sure how that's good for the sport. Again, I'm talking about the show, not the guys.

I think they've done a lot of good for the sport and up and coming fighters. I respect them because their aren't business school students, but they found a way to go to all the fights, meet fighters, and make some nice income while doing it. That deserves respect.

Unfortunately I can't wear any of their clothes because I too am offended by the retarded image they represent. With their costumes, they'd be better suited to market a toy for kids or something.
