Ultimate Women’s Combat is a television show that focuses on 16 female Mixed Martial Arts fighters as they attempt to make a name for themselves in the rough and tumble world of professional cage fighting. Many of these combatants have been connected to male fighters and trainers their entire careers. It’s now time for them to step out of the shadows and into the fire! Throughout the show the audience will get to know these warriors not only as fighters but as women who have lives, responsibilities and experiences that extend beyond the cage. Ultimate Women’s Combat will delve deep into the lives of these women pulling from them the most intriguing details of what makes a female fighter. The weekly challenges will have the girls working closely with nationally recognized organizations to make the public aware of issues that have impacted our communities and the women themselves. Make no mistake, this is a fight show and there will be fights! At the end of the season the winners of the tournament will receive a major contract from a partnered fighting promotion. Ultimate Women’s Combat is not a fighting promotion and the creators do not intend to promote fights under the Ultimate Women’s Combat banner.

Funny how some body will take a persons hard work and just smash it like that! I personally know Little Patricia and have seen her work out journal. She works very hard to be strong and skilled. Mr. or Mrs. Phuckyou, why would you say something like that about someone you obviously dont even know? Gawd, just cuz your daddy didnt love you doesnt give you the right!! Silly
This show is NOT airing on NBC. This show is a joke and it is nothing NBC would ever even consider putting on TV.
I worked on this show since day one. It is shady as hell and will never air on NBC. If it airs, it will only air on individual NBC affiliates like an infomercial. My uncle is a president at NBC. I know how NBC works. If it airs through NBC, it will be listed on NBC/Universal site, they will release their own press, it must use NBC graphics and colors and it will air to every home that NBC airs in. Only info-mercials list how many homes they air in. According to iMDB the show already aired. Go see for yourself. It’s all lies. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1415250/episodes
Everyone who is a part of this show, is low quality, trailer trash. I mean, look at how they portray themselves on chat boards wherever arguments on the net arise. No professional attitude whatsoever. Cussing at people, using the F word. I mean, really? What credible executive of a successful show, do you ever see on chat boards cussing people out, for their doubts about their project? These guys are a bunch of couch surfer, Hollywood losers and wannabe’s, making a show with no budget, not feeding their cast and crew, etc etc etc
