Plot Synopsis

The M-1 Challenge is essentially an annual World Cup of Mixed Martial Arts. Fighters represent their own countries, and nations compete against each other during the regular season (qualifying rounds). The top two teams from the regular season battle it out in the Finals. In each event, two nations fight each other in five different weight classes -- lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. "M-1 Affliction Challenge" is a weekly series that travels the world to show every jab, punch and flying knee from these events.
