On this show, professional MMA fighters that have yet to make a big name for themselves were selected onto teams representing five different weight classes (Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Lightweight [which the show contested at 170lbs rather than 155lbs]). Each team had a celebrity owner and MMA coach who evaluated the try outs and selected contestants. Team owners included boxing champ
Floyd Mayweather and
Rick Ross managing the Money Mayweather Boys; hip-hop artist
Ludacris with Team Luda;
Nelly representing Team Nelly;
T.I. leading Team Grand Hustle;
Juelz Santana and
Jim Jones heading Dipset; and
Lil Jon with the Head Busters. Featured MMA coaches included
Shonie Carter and
Charles Bennett. The respective teams then fought over the course of several weeks, building towards a finale that took place in
New Orleans in February 2008. ==Winner==
