Which is the better reality show. Ultimate fighter or Contender?

Did you wife/girlfriend leave u for an mma guy? U sound very bitter towards them!

No. I don't have a problem with MMA. Read closer. I have a problem with the UFC and the trash it promotes and caters to.

id say UFC......dont get me wrong, i like boxing better than mma but the reality show goes to UFC. they should stop putting some parts in slo mo with the contender and just let it beeee.......

Ultimate fighter. They actually showed what makes a fighter a fighter. Like the practice and cutting weight. Contender chose to focus on fighter's backgrounds. Ended up being a bad idea because it was half of each episode but everyone had the same story. "I grew up in a rough neighborhood" "im tired of working 2 jobs " "I do this 4 my family"

i haven't caught too many shows of the contender, but from what i saw it sucks. they make it seem too hollywood with stalone in it.

the ultimate fight is equally as ****ty... you got a bunch of idiots that get all rowdy in a house and think they're mma fighters because they can throw a punch. some of them are good, but most of them are grabage.

they both are good marketin schemes, but they both fail in my opinion

I like the contender because it's boxing obviously and I don't like MMA, but the Ulitmate Fighter seems to have more of high caliber fighters on their show that actually go on to do something. (see: Forrest Griffin).

ultimate fighter. they dont put special effects just to make the fight look good. i mean come on right now before u can even join the show u have to fight for it.

The Ultimate Fighter makes for far better TV for one simple reason. All of the fighters are young ****y princesses trying to pound their chest and be "macho".

Makes for good reality TV, but little else. The fights are ****, the training is ****, it just big brother with fighters and more drama.

The contender however is a serious show with seriously aspiring fighters. Guys with families, trying to make a better life for themselves. Not guys there to look tough on TV.

Actually, that is only a sign of what low caliber fighters are in the UFC. In boxing reality stars go on to get demolished by legitimate champions.

In the UFC, reality stars go on to beat "legitimate" champions.

ultimate fighter was far better,

contender was full of pretenders,

ultimate fighter had real quality fighters who went on to become champions and big in mma

contender had too much special effects and switching to the crowd during the fights all the time

I agree, plus all the sound effects, and that ****** song in the background. And they showed highlights of the fights.

And this is comin from someone who is big boxing fan and a casual MMA viewer.
