About
The new show will follow Liverpool natives and best friends, Paddy and Molly, two charismatic MMA fighters who are making a massive impact in UFC, which is hailed as one of the fastest growing sports in the world. This frank, funny and up-close series will follow Paddy and Molly's journey inside and outside of the cage as they take on the biggest fights of their lives - which will determine their legacy in the MMA world - all whilst juggling their relationships with friends and family.
Paddy is infamously known to be brash and full of bravado in and out of the cage, whilst Molly is introspective and emotionally raw but no less outgoing. With their no-holds-barred careers, inspiring stories and powerful personalities, both are united by a hunger to win and a willingness to do anything to help each other out, both professionally and personally.
The series will also showcase their hometowns in Merseyside, celebrating the region's rich culture. From the sandy and windswept beaches of Crosby where Molly and Paddy both walk their dogs to the vibrant and bustling Baltic Market which is the home to Molly's restaurant, the reality of Molly and Paddy's day to day lives will provide a unique look at this vibrant part of the UK.
