Kit Cope chosen for second "MTV True Life" show

MTV will feature Kit Cope, a champion Muay Thai veteran and one-time UFC fighter, for a second time as part of its "MTV True Life" documentary series.

Cope was featured in "True Life: I'm a Muay Thai Fighter" four years ago, and the program was one of the most popular episodes in series history.

Cope's management, KO Dynasty, recently told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) that Cope has been filming for the new episode, "MTV True Life: I'm an MMA Fighter," and cameras will catch his World Fighting Championships debut, which takes place May 30 in Atlantic City.

Cope (1-4), who recently signed a three-fight deal with the organization, meets Dave Cochran (14-17) in the night's main event. (NFL defensive tackle turned MMA fighter Marcus Jones has also been booked for the event.)

Although he's excelled in Muay Thai and won a few titles, Cope's MMA career hasn't been as successful. He debuted in 1999 and suffered two losses, but after a three-year layoff, he claimed his first victory -- a TKO of Mike Lucero in Valor Fighting. That performance earned him a ticket to the UFC, where he fought -- and lost to -- Kenny Florian in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter 2 Finale.

Cope will be a guest on today's edition of TAGG Radio (TAGG Radio Network - Home of TAGG Radio & The Lights Out Show!), an MMAjunkie.com content partner site, to discuss the MTV show. Tune in at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT for Cope and fellow guests Jens Pulver, Josh Thomson and Luke Zachrich.

The only reason i could think that this guy has had 2 shows on MTV is that he is entertaining. He's a muay thai fighter who hasn't hacked it in MMA but keeps on showing up. I know people that think he's great but IMO, he's a one dimensional fighter.
