M-1 Global’s website m1mixfight.com is teasing a new reality show called "Fighting Fedor".

The show will consist of 16 heavyweight fighters who will battle it out in a tournament style competition. The winner will be given the opportunity to fight "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko. The show will follow the fighters in and out of the ring as they live, train and fight together for several weeks.

Here are some excerpts from the trailer.

“Sixteen fighters will travel to St. Petersburg, Russia’s Red Devils Sports Club, where they will open their doors to American television cameras for the first time. From there, the fighters will spend the next several weeks living together, training together and fighting each other in a full contact mixed martial arts tournament, the likes of which have never been seen before on American television.“

Fedor is already facing criticism from fighters and fans alike regarding the level of competition he has faced in the last two years. While many fans will be chomping at the bit to see his new reality show, others will only see this as another way to escape facing top level competition which will only lower his pound for pound ranking in their eyes. Many believe that Fedor has many worthy adversaries besides Couture including Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Josh Barnett and Semmy Schilt to name a few.

Dana White was the last to speak out against the heavyweight superstar claiming that he "sucks’ and that he doesn’t even consider Fedor in the top five heavyweights much less the pound for pound number one fighter. Fedor responded to White’s remarks and penned him a letter expressing his animosity.

Regardless of what people think it is pretty clear that Fedor is on another level when it comes to fighting. I don’t think he needs to prove anything to anybody. His fights speak for themselves and his natural fighting instincts are undeniable. He is one of the sports most dynamic and technically sound fighters to ever compete in the history of mixed martial arts.

His new reality show should give us a unique perspective on Fedor’s training regimen and a glimpse of what it is like to to train with the number one ranked heavyweight in the world. A debut date or broadcast partner has yet to be revealed. I will keep you posted and let you know as soon as we find out more details.
