ULTIMATE BET FIGHTING?
YO! BET might be stepping it up in a big way if this rumor is correct! Jye hipped me to the Black TV Network's latest plan - Ultimate Fighting! The name of the show is called "Iron Ring." Somebody else called it "a ghetto UFC show," which I find highly offensive...that is unless it is ghetto. Anyway, they got celebs that are managing teams of fighters. I heard there are rappers and such that are going to "sponsor" teams. For example, I heard Novell G. Bell aka "The Black Taoist" is going to be the trainer for the alleged Dipset team! Most of the fighters are going to be Black, which will be interesting. At least they didn't do a show called "Urban Shoot-out," where contestants try to kill each other.
