Bully Beatdown – MTV’s MMA Training Show

December 14th, 2010

Growing up as a small kid in Ketchikan, Alaska, there isn’t much to do. So one of the favorite things for people to do (especially if you’re bigger) is to pick on the little guy for entertainment. Now it can come from family, friends, and at school. I sure went through all of the above, I was probably about 100 lbs soaking wet, and graduated at a paltry 110 lbs (if I was lucky). So I got the bullying from everywhere. Home, school, work, you name it, the bully found me. So I grew up with an appreciation for what it means to be a bullying victim.

Bully Beatdown is the ultimate show for ex nerds like myself. Here’s how it works, the bully is offered 10 Gs to accept a fight with an MMA professional. They get a possible $5,000 for surviving the 1st round and $1,000 less for each time they get submitted (grappling only). Then they get $5,000 for surviving the 2nd round (kickboxing only), they get nothing in the 2nd if they can’t survive it. (I’ve yet to see a bully survive the 2nd round). All the money that the bully loses goes to the victim(s) of the bully. Sounds awesome right? But, I know what you’re thinking, I understand how this works, but what does this show teach me about fighting/how to deal with bullies. You have to look deep into the show to understand, and look underneath the feet and fists that are thrown. Let me explain. » Read more: Bully Beatdown – MTV’s MMA Training Show
