If the setup is fake I dont care

Its looks like pros vs joes- MMA version. If they dumped the bully angle and had amateurs get their ass kicked each and every week by pros I would still watch it.

I've only seen a little bit of the show, but the fighting looks pretty legit. I watch MMA religiously and the guys I saw were throwing punches and kicks with power. The episode I saw where the bully got knocked out with a high kick, the pro fighter planted and turned his hips into the kick and it sounded like it hit hard.

Yes, Tony Bonello also got knocked down by the bully and I doubt that any MMA fighter would agree to that because it made Tony look like a biatch.

The fighting is real, but the stories are fake. If you notice, every victim always has some kind of injury, brone break or else. It's always the same, and the bully is always over the top.

Also MMA fighters aren't the great with their hands compared to pro boxers.

Where the hell do you get that from? You realize that alot of MMA fighters use boxing coaches and box in the gym right? Guess you missed all those hundreds of MMA punches that ended the fight with a KO.

People seem to be forgetting here: The stories, the "victims" and the "bullies" may be fake, but even if it is, wouldn't you find it incredibly satisfying to watch some cocky a**hole get taken to town by a REAL fighter? If you were being treated like total crap by someone who made you his bitch just for fun, wouldn't you like to see him humiliated on national TV? Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I find that ratting them out to the cops just doesn't do it. And no, I don't aim to solve a potential bullying problem this way, but I do think that someone who's been picked on relentlessly by a bigger, stronger person, or someone who just plain hates bullies (like me) would appreciate this show.

So Ive been watching this show for over a year now and it keeps on getting better. The bully angles are almost ridiculous after you watch it for a while but the fighting is absolutely real.

I love the Ultimate Fighter. And I have no doubts the bullies arent really bullies. But are they stuntmen? I dont see that at all. If it were stuntmen vs stuuntmen I could see that. But the fighters wouldnt know how to work a fight. Thats not what they do.
