MMA legend Bas Rutten has scored a gig as a host of the upcoming “Ultimate Women Challenge” which basically sounds like TUF but with women. What’s interesting is that the show will air on NBC, though there’s no scheduled time or date.
Here’s the info, as per the show’s website:
The Ultimate Women Challenge on NBC marks the ascent of the “fairer sex” in this emerging world of sport. In a reality elimination show format hosted by actress & model Joanna Krupa (“Dancing with the Stars”) and former MMA Heavyweight Champion Bas Rutten, sixteen women will be given the chance to take off their make-up and put on their gloves in a historic competition. These contestants will leave the security of their homes to board planes bound for an undisclosed location, and compete against the best and brightest the sport has to offer.
Their coaches will be top ranked and world-renowned fighters themselves who know what it takes to make it in the hard-hitting world of MMA. They will settle for nothing less than perfection as they train their fighters to compete against each other and go for the glory. But, along the way, each episode of the series will feature entertaining and informative challenges that organically fuse elements of MMA with educational take-away information all for the benefit of charity. Through these challenges and a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the contestants as they go about their daily lives together, favorites will emerge because of their heart and spirit, their hard work & respect for the sport, and their touching personal stories. When the final bell rings, viewers will have plenty to root for as all of the women of Ultimate Women Challenge live together, train together, and compete together for the ultimate prize – a chance to reign supreme and take home the title of Ultimate Women Challenge Champion
After “Rampage” Jackson lost to Rashad Evans in May, we immediately celebrated with childish joy, when Dana White stated afterwardS that B.A. Baracus 2.0 may face Lyoto Machida next. It’s a match-up that makes total sense- two former champs coming off a loss- it should sell a ton of PPV’s; let’s do it up right? […]
After “Rampage” Jackson lost to Rashad Evans in May, we immediately celebrated with childish joy, when Dana White stated afterwardS that B.A. Baracus 2.0 may face Lyoto Machida next. It’s a match-up that makes total sense- two former champs coming off a loss- it should sell a ton of PPV’s; let’s do it up right? Now, when Jackson was quoted saying recently he was hoping to do a rematch with Forrest Griffin that also sounded pretty sweet, but maybe because we haven’t seen Machida vs. Jackson before, that bout remained as our starting QB (having a fine back-up ready to go is one of life’s most valuable lessons…)
Well, in a story this AM from MMA Junkie, the outlet is reporting that “sources close to the organization” have informed the outlet that Jackson has verbally agreed to fight Machida, November 20th. The charismatic former champion also posted this on his Twitter yesterday:
“almost ready 2 sign the bout agreement! i would tell yall who im gonna get down with,but i cant spell his name….hahaha”
Now, Rampage’s usual bit about his linguistic skills aside, we’re thinking that joke can’t be referring to the word Griffin. So, it would appear that a bout between Jackson and Machida is a couple of pen strokes away. It’s a huge fight that will say a lot about where each guy sits in the division.

SAN DIEGO (July 19, 2010) – Two-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim “Maine-iac” Sylvia plans to make a loud statement August 14 when he takes on former UFC and Strikeforce heavyweight title challenger Paul “The Headhunter” Buentello in the main event for the vacant Powerhouse World Promotions (PWP), LLC Heavyweight Championship, headlining the “War on the Mainland” Pay Per View show live from Bren Events Center in Irvine, California.
“War on the Mainland,” presented by Powerhouse World Promotions, is being distributed by Integrated Sports Media at 10:00PM ET/6:00PM PT in North America on cable and satellite Pay-Per-View via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Avail-TVN and DISH Network, as well as Viewer’s Choice, Bell TV and Shaw PPV in Canada, for a suggested retail price of only $29.95. It will also be available in the United Kingdom via Primetime Live. The PPV card will also be streamed live on Internet PPV outside of the United States, Canada and United Kingdom by going to www.WarontheMainland.com and registering.
The 6’ 8”, 300-pound Sylvia has defeated many of the world’s top MMA heavyweights and super heavyweights, including Andrei Arlovski (2) Brandon Vera, Jeff Monson, Wes Sims, Ricco Rodriguez, Mike Whitehead (2), Ben Rothwell and Jason Lambert.
“In the MMA world,” Sylvia said, “I need to win this fight in fashion to make a statement that I’m back. We were supposed to fight once or twice and now it’s finally going to happen. It’s going to be a great fight and show. Jason’s (Lambert) fighting in the co-feature and he’s a great fighter.”
Sylvia (26-6-0), fighting out of Bettendorf, Iowa, is coming off of an impressive second-round submission of 5-time World’s Strongest Man, Mariusz “Dominator” Pudzianowski, in which Tim broke two toes that sidelined him for three weeks.
“I hit him (Pudzianowski) with three kicks at the end of the first round,” Tim explained. “The last one caught his knee and broke two of my toes. It’s no big deal. I’ve been back in the gym eight weeks getting ready for this fight.”
Buentello (6’ 2”, 250 lbs.), fighting out of Amarillo, Texas, has defeated “Tank” Abbott, Gary Goodridge, Justin Eilers, Mike Kyle and Kirill “Baby Fedor” Sidelnikov, among the more notables.
“Paul’s a gamer,” Sylvia noted. “He’s a good striker with a lot of knockouts. He likes to bang, just like me, and that’s what fans want to see.”
Sylvia-Buentello is one of three PWP title fights (5 X 5, all other fights are 3 X 5). Former WEC titlist Jason “The Punisher” Lambert (25-11-0) takes on 8-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion Allan Goes (17-3-0) for the vacant PWP Light Heavyweight title belt, while former UFC title challenger Thales Leite (17-3-1) faces Strikeforce veteran Falaniko “Niko” Vitale(27-9-0) for the PWP Middleweight crown.
Former UFC lightweight champion Jens “Little Evil” Pulver (22-13-1), one of the most popular MMA fighters in the world, faces Diego “El Nino” Garijo (4-1-0) in a Special Lightweight Attraction.
Also fighting on “War on the Mainland” is Brazilian middleweight Gustavo “Ximu” Machado (18-8-1) vs. Rick Reeves (10-3-0) and Mexican welterweight Jorge “The Naked Man”Ortiz (16-5-1) vs. veteran Terry Martin (19-8-0).

Mathews (3-0-0) vs. Sean Choice (1-0-0), and pro-debuting lightweights Evan Aitkins vs. Chad McCausland. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Vitor Belfort fans are hoping the “Phenom” can return to form in time for a solid 2011 run at Anderson Silva, and from this video it looks like Belfort’s hand speed and power are returning quickly. Belfort must be interested in seeing if Chael Sonnen can do more than talk circles around Anderson Silva at this upcoming UFC 117, as he is certainly close to a title shot sooner rather than later.
