'MMA Legacy' casting call for new reality series

mma legacy
Big John McCarthy's Ultimate Training Academy in Valencia, Calif., will host an open casting call on Monday, June 22 at 1 p.m. local time for a new reality show titled, "MMA Legacy."

The idea behind the show is to give fans a behind the scenes look at the day-to-day lives of the people involved in mixed martial arts, whether it's established up-and coming fighters, models and ring girls, and anyone else involved with the business side of the sport.

Jason Chambers -- the host of the History Channel's reality show "Human Weapon" -- will be the executive producer of the show. Here are his thoughts on what exactly they're looking for at the casting call:

"This isn’t a competitive fight show like ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ where fighters compete for a fight contract, it’s a personality driven show about people with MMA as a backdrop that provides a common thread. We need interesting people with engaging personalities because we’ll be following them around for three to four weeks to capture their story. We intend to show them at work, on dates, as well as training."

Sounds interesting.

Owned Entertainment, Jac'd Productions and International MMA Expo are the masterminds behind this concept. You will need a current photo of yourself as well as a completed audition application if you intend to appear at the casting call.

LMFAO. That’d be a great segment. Maybe they could follow it up with Gabe Ruediger? And also that @ss clown who left (Noah?) b/c he needed to see his girlfriend of 6 months. And lastly, what about Serra’s student from last season, hear he has his own place now (or is teaching) and adverstising he was on TUF.

Chefdaddy-

Even though I know you are joking I think that is a brilliant idea. I would love to see the aftermath of what happened to those particular people.

It was kind of half joking , half serious. But I would watch to see what they’ve done with their lives since, do they have any regrets, etc.?

This sounds positive for MMA, to show true athletes training etc.

Maybe it will convince the unconvinced that this is a sport.

Lets hope it doesn’t turn into a circus like TUF.

I suppose if Big John is involved, it has to be positive
