Legacy Fighting Championship.

Schnell has racked up a 10-2 record as an amateur competing in his home state of Louisiana. “Danger” emerged from his stint on “Caged” as the most promising fighter featured during the show’s single-season run and has since signed with First Round Management and Punishment Athletics, the latter of which produced a T-shirt featuring the fighter’s nickname.
“Caged” ran for 10 episodes on MTV during the first quarter of 2012, receiving mixed reviews. The series debuted on Jan. 9 and focused on the lives of several young mixed martial artists in the small town of Minden, La. The series finale aired on March 10.
