TapouT Season 2 on Versus starts July 30th - Mask, Punkass and Skyscrape are back for 10 more episodes

Versus TV network has established itself on of the major MMA destinations on cable TV in recent years. Carrying World Extreme Cagefighting live events and replays has not only been beneficial for both Versus's and WEC's exposure, but also for the millions of MMA fans that get quality MMA events on free TV. WEC has the very exciting 145lb weight class that UFC currently doesn't. WEC's current 145lb champion Uriah Faber is one of the most exciting and dominating pound for pound fighters in MMA today.

About a year ago Versus introduced MMA fans to their new reality series revealing trials and tribulations of the TAPOUT crew's quest to find future MMA star fighters that could represent the TAPOUT brand. When I first saw it, I was surprised by the show's production quality. It turns out that the show's producers also produced popular reality series like American Choppers and Dirty Jobs. First season of the show was a success and was viewed by more than 40 million viewers, so they're back with more.

I really liked the show because it gave MMA fans like me a unique look into the roots of MMA - what happens at the smaller MMA shows and yet unknown MMA fighers with promise. Stuff like that was gold during the cable PPV black out times and was only shown by a few small documentary films and now it was on weekly!  Tapout clothing is one of the oldest MMA companies that has been around since beginning of MMA rise in US. It was neat to hear their history from the founders themselves - the non-stop laughing face-painted MASK, tall and afro wearing SKYSCRAPE and the most sensible of the trio PUNKASS. Even though Tapout now is a major MMA brand that is sold even in regular mall stores and endorse major MMA stars, these guys stay down to earth and still support the small MMA shows and up and coming fighters. Over the course of the shows they've gone to different MMA camps and brought the promising fighters they picked to the shows on their own bus and at times were the only support during the fights.

From Versus TV's press release on what will be on in the Season 2 premier:

In the season two premiere, the TapouT crew travels to San Luis Obispo, Calif. to ‘The PIT’ to see one of John Hackleman’s up-and-coming MMA fighters, Scott Lighty.  Scott is accompanied by his best friend and training partner, Glover Teixeira and the crew quickly realizes the potential Glover has, and decides to sponsor both Scott and Glover who are fighting on the same card.  UFC legend Chuck Liddell, who is both Scott and Glover’s trainer, makes a special guest appearance. 

Below is the video promo for TAPOUT season 2 on Versus that starts on July 30th and will be on every Wednesday at 10 pm. Full Schedule

Shayla Worley met the press with a smile this morning at a post-meet media opportunity after declining to chat prior to, and during, the Trials competition, something Worley wasn’t aware was a big deal.

“After the meet, my main priority is getting back in the training room and doing my therapy, which takes a while,” she explained. “By the time that was done I’m always the last one on the bus anyway. So, it was just solely because I had to get my priorities straight.

Worley, 17, was also shocked to hear that several readers wrote in after watching the TV coverage to ask Inside about her appearance, saying she looked like she was in pain and/or tired.

“They think I look tired?” a laughing Worley asked. “Great! Talk about kicking me when I’m down. That makes me feel bad. I was made up on TV, too. I look tired? That’s like when someone asked me if it hurt when I fell off the bar and landed on my stomach.

“Really, I feel no pain,” she added. “When you’re competing on that level, and you’re in that zone, I don’t feel anything, really. … And I’m not tired, geez!”
