Ej komaj cakam da stvar zacne ! Osebno poznam 2 tekmovalca tko da bo stvar zame se bol zanimiva, sploh pa imamo tudi slovenci predstavnika in sicer Dominik Zidov, mama je slovenka oce je hrvat ima pa slovenski in Svicarski potni list doma govorijo slovensko mislim da je 3 leta zivel v LJ sedaj pa ze par let zivi na Tajskem v Ubon Ratchatani kjer trenira v Ole Laursenovi telovadnici Legacy gym. Baje da je Zidov glavna faca contenderja baje, da skrbi za zabavo v hisi. Tip je res odtrgan !

. Lepo bi bilo ce bi stvar uspela tako kot je uspel TUF in prinesla Muay thaiu popularnost kot jo je TUF prinesel UFC-ju.

Še nekaj info in opis borcev:


The Contender Asia

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the show, “The Contender”, a sports reality show, is the brainchild of reality television pioneer Mark Burnett. Originally aired on American TV in 2005, it took 16 fighters (boxers), divided them into two competing teams, and made them live together under one roof. In each episode the fighters participated in team-based competitions, ranging from dragging a truck through a river bed to puzzle solving. The winning team won the privilege to pick whom their teammate would go up against. The remainder of the show was dedicated to airing an edited-down version of their five-round bouts.

The Contender Asia will use the same format; however will profile 16 Nak Muay’s ranging from the unknown to the biggest names in Muay Thai. The winner of “The Contender” will be also be going home $250,000 US richer, this will be the biggest payout any of these fighters have ever earned.
