Fighting Hurts

[FieldingMellish]

Not sure if anyone outside the UK is even aware of this but Cage Rage have a new reality show called 'Fighting Hurts'. Its on Nuts TV over here (a shitty little channel by the way) and they've kindly put the entire first episode (and I'm assuming more to follow) on youtube.

First part of episode 1 is here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KIx702LBtLs

Its certainly, erm, interesting.

It was truly fascinating to learn that Dave O' Donnell brought the sport to the UK in 2002. Yeah. Right.

lol. Too fackin rite e did u nonce.

I only watched like a minute of this the other week but it looked awful, kind of like Dragon's Den filmed in the back room of a strip club. There may be some real talent in there but I don't fancy sitting through the rest of the bollocks to find it.

Still watching the first episode now. Can't work out whther its the funniest thing I've ever seen or the worst thing I've ever seen.

Speaking of Cage Rage I don't see it posted here but Ross "The Boss" Mason is in a serious condition after being found beaten/stabbed in the street:

Thanks for the heads-up, FM. Damn, I'll totally watch this if they ever continue it.

Yes, I was alarmed when "OJ" was coming down the stairs to the spot light as if he was going to do some Derren Brown routine right there. I was alarmed when O'Donnell so effing predictably attempted to pull some weak-ass Sgt. Hartman shit. Hell, I was alarmed by the entire setup, especially when I saw Neil fucking Grove sitting there smiling.

But I have a hunch that I'm going to enjoy it to some extent. I'm a hopeless sucker for this kind of stuff, and given where Cage Rage is now and all the other things, I don't think that was too bad so far.

Hey, the music isn't nu-metal at least.

Episode 2 is now up on youtube. Here's the first part of the episode: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l_28lKf_lVk

Not as fantastically comical as the first episode but still enjoyable in an idiotic sort of way.

I just watched the first episode, nice to watch something that doesn't take itself so seriously as TUF.

Although it seems to confirm that Cage Rage really does look for bald tatooed morons for their roster.

Yeah, that's the + point about this show, I think. Or maybe I feel that way only because I keep watching TUF while being clearly sick and tired of the way it is.

Episode 2 wasn't very funny, but interesting nonetheless. I'm still interested in this show.

Did anyone watch this to the end? The two guys in the final came on a long way since the start of the show, and put on a good proper MMA fight with standup, takedowns, reversals, submission attempts etc. All without any piss drinking or cum eating.

Puts TUF to shame in multiple ways.

Hardly worth watching then, was it?

It's like American Idole mix with TUF. I like it though. It's interesting to watch.

[timmothy84]

I just got done watching the first 4 episodes and I must say this show is very entertaining. TUF could take some notes. I rather watch the fighters train than watch the down time at the house like TUF does. Good show. THanks for posting. The fights are very entertaining too.

Episode 5 is up on youtube and they had some decent fights on them.
