NBC will Air ‘Ultimate Women’s Combat’ Reality Show

Ultimate Women’s Combat is a reality show for ass kicking female fighters. Set to air in 2009 or 2010, it’s good to see MMA having a crack on a major network. And not like how Kimbo Slice and Gary Shaw took a big clown dump on CBS either. This show is legit.

Ultimate Women’s Combat is a television show that focuses on 16 female Mixed Martial Arts fighters as they attempt to make a name for themselves in the rough and tumble world of professional cage fighting.  Many of these combatants have been connected to male fighters and trainers their entire careers.  It’s now time for them to step out of the shadows and into the fire!

Throughout the show the audience will get to know these warriors not only as fighters but as women who have lives, responsibilities and experiences that extend beyond the cage.

Ultimate Women’s Combat will delve deep into the lives of these women pulling from them the most intriguing details of what makes a female fighter. The weekly challenges will have the girls working closely with nationally recognized organizations to make the public aware of issues that have impacted our communities and the women themselves.  Make no mistake, this is a fight show and there will be fights!  At the end of the season the winners of the tournament will receive a major contract from a partnered fighting promotion.

The 16 female fighters include Felice Herrig, Angela Magana, Angela Hayes, Melissa Steele, Roxy Richardson, Lauren Sugahara, Kerry Vera, Michelle Vera, Moroeles Coenen, Casey Noland, Molly Helsel, Vanessa Mariscal, Jessica Aguilar, Martha Benavides, and Kate McGray
