Female MMA Reality TV Show "FightLife"

FightLife is an upcoming female MMA reality show from Warm Springs Productions.

From the website.....
"FightLife bases a group of eight professional female fighters in one house where they live, breathe and make their money off the sport of Mixed Martial Arts fighting. The series will focus on the girls’ real lives – hardcore partying, the drama, catfights, relationships, owning and operating fight shop, intense physical training led by Ken Shamrock, and their professional MMA fights."

If you want to find out more about the show, you can visit their website, read more and see an extended video trailer for the show.

I couldn't find out anything on when or where it will air.

Of course this isn't the first female MMA reality TV show.
Oxygen did Fight Girls back in 2007 and Ultimate Women’s Combat is set to air on NBC in 2009 or 2010.

BTW, UWC has a MySpace page set up so you can keep updated with their production here:
