Jamie Yager is one of the most controversial fighters on TUF season 11, but his skill set seems to back his confidence or some my say cockyness. This is not the first time I've Seen Yager on an MMA reality show. The MMA fighter (Yager) who looks like he could be Andre Wards older brother, was on an MMA reality show called The IRON RING on BET. The IR was A show sort of like TUF with A lower budget an A hood twist to it. So if Tuf on Spike was: " The Real World" The Iron Ring on Bet would be: "College Hill" (analogy).
On the IR fighters from all over The US came an competed to win the competition (cash prize).
I think there were 6 (maybe 8) teams that were all owned by Celebritys mostly rappers. Ludacris, Dip Set, Nelly, Lil John, Floyd Mayweather,T.I ect were all team owners, but the coaching staff's were real MMA trainers an fighters. Shoney Carter was even A coach. The best way I can discribe it is TUF meets The Rucker (Rucker Park basketball tournment) anyway if anyone know's if Yager won that show let me know. I've never watched the whole thing threw.

That's why he looked so familar to me, I couldn't put my finger on it before. I hate to admit that I watched the entire season of that horrible show. Having to hear rappers call out wrong submission names constantly and were obviously very ignorant about MMA, but acted like they knew their crap and boo everytime the ground game happened got to a poinwhere I almost turned it off several times. Also Mike, I'm surpized your still a Maywhether fan after the crap he said on the show about MMA and how he could beat up everyone in MMA with MMA rules, LOL, Yeah right Floyd! That show was horrible! The only good part was the finale when they actually made it look semi-professional and I think Trigg was one of the announcers on the finale too, wasn't he?

What you don't get though is just cause I am A fan of some 1 dosent mean I agree with everything that comes out of his mouth. That gose 4 $May, Rampage or who ever. $May is A hype Machine, he says what he says to draw attention an it works. It's the reason he's the face of boxing an the biggiest draw in the sport. I've met the dude time after time in Vegas. He's not exactly the guy you see on the camera.
