Rosi Sexton To Coach on New MMA Reality TV Show

Cage Warriors womens Champion, Rosi Sexton has been selected to coach a team of 8 women all competing to win on a new TV show for womens MMA.

The show will feature eight women who will train and fight it out to become the #1 Womens MMA Fighter. Filming will take place over a number of weeks in a 5 Star Exotic Resort and is expected to start in January 2009.

Alongside Rosi her co-coach will be the legendary Brazillian Jiu Jitsu coach, Cesar Gracie. The show will be hosted by super model Joanna Krupa, voted ‘sexiest woman in the world' and who has featured on over 100 magazine covers. The fight correspondent is ring girl beauty, Marika Taylor.

After worldwide auditions, eight women will take their make up off and put their gloves on for the chance of a grand prize to become the #1 Womens MMA Champion and to make a name for themselves among the toughest women in the world. The eight women will be plucked from their secure environments, put on a plane and arrive in an exotic location where they will begin their training far from their normal lives.

Their coaches are the best in the world and know what it takes to compete at top levels and will demand perfection. Workouts and training sessions will be gruelling and anyone failing to live up to the exacting standards will be sent packing.

Who will follow directions and who will skip practice to play? Who will suffer injuries, face relationship issues or just plain give up? These women will have the cameras on them at all times for the audience to see and hear their confessions and confrontations, their past experiences and their future dreams as they share with their roommates and coaches. We'll learn more about the life they left behind including their boyfriend, girlfriend or family and what these loved ones think about their choice to fight and what winning or losing this competition means to them.

The programme is produced by Lyle Howry Productions, Hollywood, CA and will be available for general release through its distribution partners. The company has a nine year record in filming and production of Fighting Programmes for TV.

The new show could be a major boost for female MMA. The surge in popularity of the UFC is attributed by many to the new audience attracted to the sport by the reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter. If more viewers are exposed to the reality of female MMA - the sport may experience a similar shot in the arm.

Rosi Sexton is one of the world’s best known female fighters. She is far from the sterotypical MMA fighter - holding Doctorate in theoretical computer sciences. Not a stranger to media publicity, Rosi is constantly in demand in the worldwide MMA media for interviews and general commentary in the mainstream press for her views on female MMA alongside her various other duties including full time mother, osteopathy student, contributor to Fighters Only Magazine and her commitment to her twice daily training at Straight Blast Gym in Manchester.
