In 2009 MTV capitalized on MMA’s boom in popularity with the reality game-show Bully Beatdown. We look at the show’s history and how it turned its eccentric host into one of the sport’s biggest stars.

Was a very fun show
I got into MMA because if bully beatdown…
It was good for what it was
Hell yeah
I'd like Rampage to host a reboot of the show.
I wish they would bring back this show to at least humble most of the population on just how far professional fighters are ahead than the average person.
Best episode was Season 1 Episode 6 when the bully whipped journeyman Thomas Denny to take home the cash 🤣
I remember when Andrei Arlovski said ‘don’t worry guys, I take care of it’. Then he did 😂
Bully beatdown hosted by the diaz brothers, eventually leading to a nick vs mayhem fight
Mayhem absolutely made the show. Play it any other way and it fails. Get a Brock Lesnar intimidator type and it comes across cringey. Get a try hard like Conor or Rampage and you risk alienating the viewer
I definitely always thought it was staged, the level of acting was always terrible
Caged was a terrible show lol
I hope mayhem can get through his demons
I never liked the show back then it reminded me of Jerry Springer of MMA.
Heard about it years after the fact, but never watched it since I'm not living in US. Thanks for informing us.
Dang jim brown died.
Remember him playing in mars attacks.and original gangsters.
So sad to see him go.
Remember the bacon bully.😂
Pretty sure DC never fought on the show
This show was a blast, anyone remember when that one guy was giving it large and ANDREI FUCKING ARLOVSKI comes down the ramp🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like this show could still work very well if done today, would love to see it come back honestly. Lots of UFC veterans I'd love to see hosting, and honestly UFC could do a show of this sort themselves I feel. Would be better than damn Power Slap that's for sure.
It was a fighter in bully beat down that didn't ko or submit the bully I forgot what his name was tho
This needs to come back but against child predators! Predo Beatdown!
Only the OGs remember Carly Shay Vs Shelby Marx
Mayhem’s spiral is so sad. He had it all. Decent fighter, perfect personality for TV. Threw it all away.
