• Donald Trump and Affliction announce Fighting Fedor reality show

Rich guy and All-Star businessman Donald Trump is taking his interest in Affliction and the MMA to television. He hopes. Trump partnered with Affliction in June and it looks like he’s finally trying to use his influence to help out the company.

A contingent of officials from fight promotions M-1 Global and Affliction Entertainment, complete with Donald Trump as a front man, announced plans Thursday to move forward with their new mixed martial arts reality television show, Fighting Fedor.

The show will be filmed in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the Red Devil fight gym with a crew of fighters recruited from all over the globe. According to M-1 Global vice president Jerry Millen, the show could begin filming as early as April.

It looks like The Donald and co. have everything in order. Except for a television partner. There are plans to distribute Fighting Fedor in various international markets, and the hope is that Trump’s TV connections will land a good deal. This show will happen because Donald Trump’s involved.
