BET's IronRing Roster and Coaches announced: LOL
Quote:
UFC veteran Shonie Carter and EliteXC lightweight Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett are two of the six coaches on BET's mixed martial arts reality television series, "Iron Ring," which premieres Tuesday, March 18 at 11 pm ET/PT.
The flamboyant Carter is no stranger to reality television shows. The 35-year-old riled his fellow cast members with his wild antics as a contestant on the fourth season of "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV.
Bennett is also a fan of the camera, often mugging the camera before fights and doing backflips off cages as a victory celebration. The oft-arrested Floridian has stated on numerous occasions (whether serious or not) his desire to start an acting career.
The other four coaches are Roberto Traven, Jermaine Andre, Abdul Mutakabbir and Novell Bell. Traven was the 1999 ADCC open-weight grappling champion and a two-time competitor in the UFC. Andre, a kickboxing champion and a one-time UFC competitor, was the middleweight champion in the short-lived World Fighting Alliance promotion.
Fighters will compete on teams owned and managed by rappers T.I., Ludacris, Lil' Jon, Dipset (Juelz Santana, Jim Jones) and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather.
David Issacs and Campbell McLaren, two co-creators of the original SEG-owned UFC, are the Executive Producers on this project described as an "urban-style UFC/mixed martial arts fight tournament."
Here are the team rosters:
Floyd Mayweather's Team
Coach: Roberto Traven
Fighters: Andy Roberts, Dymond Jones, Abdelaziz Essafoui
Ludacris' Team
Coach: Abdul Mutakabbir
Fighters: Joe Camacho, John Fields, Frank Mendez, Joe McCall

What's that I hear? Oh yeah, it's MMA's credibility being flushed down the toilet.
LMAO, you know your a joke when you have Charles "Old Dirty Bastard" Bennett as a coach.
And WTF is Mayweather doing in this, wasn't he shitting on MMA just a couple of days ago? Oh that's right, the money, of course.
