Fans of MMA have been waiting to see Bellator’s version of the fight-based reality tv show they’ve titled “Fight Master” for a while now. Will it be just a cheap rip off of The Ultimate Fighter? Or will it bring some new ideas, concepts and programming to the table?

Well we’ll all have our chance to find out the answers to those questions when the series premieres at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 19th. Until then Spike TV and Bellator have been providing us with few details bits at a time.
