Iron Ring was a reality competition show that premiered on the BET network in 2008. The show was produced by Roc-A-Fella Films and was hosted by former NFL player and sports commentator, Nnamdi Asomugha. The premise of the show was to showcase promising MMA fighters from various regions of the United States and put them through a series of challenges and fights to earn the coveted Iron Ring championship title. The show was set up as a tournament-style competition, with eight fighters competing in each weight class.

Each week, the fighters would compete in a different challenge designed to test their physical and mental strength. These challenges included obstacle courses, foot races, tug-of-war, and other athletic competitions. The winners of each challenge received an advantage going into the next week's fights.

The fights themselves were held in a large circular cage, with each fight consisting of three rounds. The fighters were judged on their technique, strength, and agility, with the winner advancing to the next round of the competition.

In addition to the fights and challenges, the show also featured a panel of celebrity judges, including UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, boxing legend Roy Jones Jr., and rapper Ludacris. These judges provided commentary on the fighters' performances and offered advice and encouragement throughout the competition.

One of the unique aspects of Iron Ring was its emphasis on sportsmanship and respect. The show encouraged fighters to show respect for their opponents both inside and outside of the ring, and to use the competition as an opportunity to build camaraderie with their fellow fighters.

The show also delved into the personal stories of the fighters, exploring their backgrounds, motivations, and struggles. Some of the fighters came from challenging backgrounds and had experienced various forms of adversity, which added to the emotional depth of the show.

Overall, Iron Ring was an exciting and compelling reality competition show that appealed to both MMA fans and general audiences. With its emphasis on sportsmanship, respect, and personal stories, it stood out from other similar shows and left a lasting impression on viewers.

Iron Ring is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (14 episodes). The series first aired on March 18, 2008.
