Who remembers this ish?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

They had a lot of decent fights back in the day...


Season 3 had the fantastic finals between sakio bika and jaidon codrington..

Loved this show.


Wouldn't be surprised if they did something like this again someday soon. It makes too much sense.

David Banks from season 3 was out of my gym... Guy is in prison now.

Back on topic, it was a great show at first but lost its glory directly after season 3.

I actually liked season 4 with the cruisers... It moved to some random TV channel like VErsus, and basically killed it

Why is he in prison? What happened to his boxing career?

It was great when Stallone and Ray leonard were in it. It's already quite some time ago, and that jerkoff Sergio Mora is still fighting at the top level so atleast something came out of it.

Vera
Troy Ross
Manfredo
Gomez
Ishe
Mora
Solimon
Bika


All had decent careers post contender

Jaidon codrington probably had his most high profiled fights outside of the thrashing by Allan green.. Though sadly jaidon crashed and burned after the show..

[Sugar Adam Ali]

They need to do another contender but make it with some decent names...

154ish contender cast
Kirkland
VICTOR ORTIZ
angulo
Camacho jr
Rosado
Omar chavez
Cintron
Mosely

This would be great reality TV with that set of characters... Tons of drama and storylines

Street fight. Dude always out at the club, testing dudes and finally hurt someone real bad. I don't think he is even out yet.
