Triller Fight Club has brought reality show kingpin Nigel Lythgoe on board as a “creative partner, visionary and executive producer,” according to Variety.
Lythgoe’s first project at bat is a weekly, hourlong series called, So You Think You Can Fight? Like Lythgoe’s other shows, it will involve audience participation and voting. Instead of having judges, the show will “pair a celebrity action star with a pro fighter, each who will select an amateur boxer through a global talent search and competition.”
The contestants will come from three categories, “lightweight, heavyweight, and MMA,” and be put through “rigorous mental and physical training,” which brings up echoes of the torture porn that was The Biggest Loser, only the contestants will already be fit.
