San Jose, CA: MMA Stars, the world's premier talent development, training and branding company in the Mixed Martial Arts Industry, announced today the caliber and current success of their fighters fighting on every major fight card, reality TV and MMA on TV to date.

Also on Iron Ring, is MMA legend Shonie "Mr. International" Carter who acts as a coach and advisor on the reality series. Carter just signed on to fight on NBC/HDNET for Strikeforce on June 27, 2008. The five-time UFC veteran recently won his 13th world title belt. He was featured as a welterweight on The Ultimate Fighter 4 and has compiled an overall record of 67-16-7, with a record of 35-16-7 in major MMA organizations.
Another TUF contestant off of The Ultimate Fighter 5 is MMA Star Marlon Sims (Pictures) who recently signed a three-fight deal with Strikeforce.
