Impact of the show

Although the show is typically panned by MMA fans, it catapulted "Danger" (Matt Schnell) to the professional ranks after being discovered by Tito Ortiz. In November 2012, he won his professional debut against fellow newcomer Ryan Hollis by a split decision, and now fights in the UFC.

Tony Kelley made his professional debut in April 2013 winning by first round TKO against Kody Thrasher.
