Escapade Media recently signed a deal with RTL CBS Asia Entertainment Network that would see series 1 of the Australian factual reality series Wimp 2 Warrior broadcast on the Network’s male-skewed channel, RTL CBS Extreme HD. Wimp 2 Warrior sees 40 everyday people battle it out over 20 weeks to become a Warrior at fight night, held live in Sydney, Australia. RTL CBS Extreme will premiere the series in 2015.

The series, which is produced by Showrunner Productions, features Ex-UFC World Champion Jens Pulver as a coach and mentor. The final Fight Night is filmed live at Luna Park.

Coach and mentor Richie Cranny commented, “As a champion of the sport and a natural character, Jens is an amazing coach and mentor for the contestants.”

Escapade Media’s Hamish Lewis added, “Wimp 2 Warrior is an amazing format that is capitalising on the mass global appeal of MMA and incorporates elements of all the inspiring health and fitness series we have grown to love.”
