New MMA Show "Fight Master" To Debut Tonight On Spike

The new reality show "Fight Master: Bellator MMA" debuts tonight at 10:00pm ET on Spike, and SI.com's Loretta Hunt writes the show's "tone is lighter and funnier" than that of FX' "The Ultimate Fighter." The 12-episode competition was shot over six weeks, with the winner receiving $100,000 and a spot in Bellator's tournament. The one-hour premiere shows that the coaches – Randy Couture, Greg Jackson, Frank Shamrock and Joe Warren – are "as much of the focus as the fighters auditioning for their four-man teams" (SI.com, 6/18).
