JockStocks: Thoughts on The Ultimate Fighter 10

So, anyone catch the premier of The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights (TUF) on Wednesday? It appears that many people did, as it is one of the topics creating some buzz in the internet world thereafter. I saw some of the highlights, as I wasn't home when the show was on, and one word describes what I saw: brutal. Let me address that in a minute, I want to first address the big news of the night -- Kimbo is back.

Yes, Dana White (UFC president and promoter extraordinaire) finally convinced internet fighting sensation (and former EliteXC fighter) Kimbo Slice that he would have to work his way into the UFC by competing in TUF. After Wednesday's episode, it sure seems that Slice is going to have to work for his spot in UFC. White has not assembled the group of tomato cans that Kimbo was going to face in EliteXC before his loss and the company's demise.

Donald Trump to launch new reality show: Who cares?

Quick: think of a hypothetical idea for a really stupid television show that would have absolutely no chance of succeeding.

If you're like most people, the first thing that popped into your head was "a Donald Trump mixed martial arts reality show." And yet, hilariously, someone is actually bankrolling this train wreck in the making. The Los Angeles Times reports that "Donald Trump and Affliction Entertainment announced today they will begin filming in April for a reality mixed martial arts series called 'Fighting Fedor'. The series, to be filmed in St. Petersburg, Russia, will open with 16 MMA fighters who will compete in a tournament that will ultimately pit the winner against heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, considered by some as the best pound-for-pound MMA fighter in the world."

Wow. It's not yet known what network will pick up the show, but I stand ready to short as many shares of the parent company as I can whenever it's announced. If I had to guess, I would say that SPIKE TV would be one of leading contenders. I can't imagine that this will end up on network television.

Here's a reality show I'd like to see: Rosie O'Donnell strapping The Donald into a chair and beating him with her bare hands.
