BET's Iron Ring Airs on Tuesday

BET's new sports reality show is set to air on Tuesday, March 18th at 11 PM ET. Celebrities will face off against eachother as team owners in this showcase. Team leaders include Floyd Mayweather, Ludacris, Nelly, T.I., Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and Lil Jon.

BET pairs celebrity team owners, trainers, and fighters to produce these televised match-ups. Headlining the show is boxing champ Floyd Mayweather (with the assistance of hip-hop star Rick Ross) managing the Money Mayweather Boys, along with hip-hop heavyweights Ludacris and Nelly representing Team Luda and Team Nelly (respectively); T.I. with the help of Big Kuntry, Young Dro, DJ Drama and Alpha Omega leading Team Grand Hustle; Juelz Santana and Jim Jones heading Dipset; and Lil Jon with the Head Busters.

The top prize is $100,000 and in order to win, the fighters must combine jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. From competitive team tryouts and grueling practices to the final face-off at the live championship, the show not only exposes the hardcore sport of mixed martial arts, but also uniquely explores the human element by providing insight into the lives of the fighters and coaches.

On a personal note, I'm looking forward to seeing some nicely toned, strong, athletic men built like Adonis. Atleast that is what I'm hoping for because aside from Floyd Mayweather, there isn't a celebrity team leader that I would want to see with their shirt off. LOL
