Submitted by MMA Fight Girls Blog
Some argue that much of the UFC’s recent success in the past 4 years can be attributed to their SpikeTV reality television show, “The Ultimate Fighter”. The Ultimate Fighter reality show was first introduced back in January of 2005 on SpikeTV. The show, as we all know by now featured up and coming MMA fighters who’s goal was to make a name for themselves in the industry to winning a UFC contract. The first season was successful in not only drawing a large viewership, but additionally at introducing many new fans to the sport of MMA.
Due to the success that the UFC gained from their reality tv show, Zuffa, UFC’s parent company is now considering a reality tv show for their WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) promotion. The show many not following the same guidelines as “The Ultimate Fighter” and is planned to be aired on the Versus network instead of Spike. WEC officials expect to launch something in 2009.
