Krazy Horse Bennett

"Iron Ring" Rosters & Coaches


(Bennett's bringin' the Krazy to BET tomorrow night.)

It's tomorrow night, Ladies and Gents. I'm referring, of course, to BET's "Iron Ring" which kicks off its debut show at 11 p.m. (ET). MMAPayout has a solid rundown of the show, being described as a mix of TUF and the IFL with a twist. The twist being hip hop celebrity types owning the teams. The show is thirty minutes, but the debut will be two back-to-back joints.

Here's what MP is saying:

The one hour premier episode (two thirty minute episodes combined) focuses largely on the celebrity owners and their coaches. The show has a gritty feel provided by low key production and locations as well as a strong hip hop influence. The opening scenes looks more like the rawness of fight club than the spectacle of major MMA. Whether this will be the case once the actual competition begins remains to be seen, but the product definitely has a distinctive feel, unlike any other MMA production. Street Certified may be a more appropriate title for the series than it was for EliteXC's previous offering.

There are six teams with fighters reppin' lightweight - 170 lbs by "Iron Ring" terms - middleweight, and the heavies. Jamie Foxx's pal, Rashon Kahn, will be the token speech-maker. Chuck "Krazy Horse" Bennett and Shonie Carter are two of the coaches and the other four are Roberto Traven, Abdul Mutakabbir, Jermaine Andre, and Novell G. Bell. WTF? you might be asking, so we have the scoop on those dudes after the jump.
