    The Muay Thai version of the contender. I watched the 1st season and really enjoyed it.

    I believe it was on versus but im not sure its on there anymore.

    But if you guys havent watched it, I recommend you do if you have time. Its a great show and they have a great crop of talent. Yod, Nareupol, Wright, JWP.

    Yes I did...and it was awesome!
    I have to say what impressed me most about the guys was the class and respect that they showed each other (with the exeption of rafik who was a complete TOOL!). If you compare that to some of the douches you see on TUF, it's refreshing to see there is still some class left in martial arts.

    I watched it, thought it was great. So much so i have started Muay Thai, it is very different from boxing, quite enjoyable

    Yep the programme was pretty decent apart from the stupid challenges.

    I agree......its truelly refrreshing to see such class and respect all around....its like a different world. Some of the fights have been pretty damn good...(nice KO's)

    Its aired every Thursday on Versus. For some reason they do not air it in my region (Eastern US)......you can also watch the entire season on
    versus.com online

    It is on another level from TUF. I just cant sit through TUF anymore.
