Reality TV in zero gravity is coming in the form of a sports competition series from the recently launched Space 11 and Andrea Iervolino. “Galactic Combat” is a new format introducing “MMA-ZERO G” fighting.
The series will follow fighters through a 12 month competition for the opportunity to be the first combatants to fight beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Details were revealed today by Space 11 founder, Andrea Iervolino.
The competition kicks off with 40 fighters from around the world training and learning to fight in the absence of gravity with programs and conditioning mirroring programs used in astronaut training.
32 of the combatants will be eliminated during the training process, allowing for only eight to compete in the main MMA-ZERO G competition.
The final two fighters left will go into space for the final event – a fight beyond our atmosphere. The dramatic and intense series finale will see two combatants fight aboard a custom retrofitted rocket (shuttle) as it orbits earth for 90 minutes, which is time it takes a rocket to circle the earth. Inside the rocket will exist a specially designed fighting capsule.
The entire run of the series is 12 months, from initial training to the final earth orbiting fight. In that span there will be 24 hour-long episodes and 12 bonus episodes streaming for fans who want to follow the training sessions spread over the duration.
Former MMA fighter John Lewis will serve as VP and Promoter of MMA-ZERO G. Lewis is represented by Melissa Hirschenson at Innovative Artists.
