And while we’re not certain about Rousey’s return to the Octagon-after her stunning, second straight knockout loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207-we do expect to see more of her on the small screen, and look forward to her taking charge during Battle of the Network Stars 10 scheduled episodes. Leading the charge as team captains will be MMA Champion Ronda Rousey and Super Bowl Champion DeMarcus Ware. According to ESPN MediaZone, the show will pit teams of current and classic TV stars from different eras against one another in a variety of entertaining physical competitions, including tug of war, kayak relay, the obstacle course, and the always-entertaining dunk tank. While the premise is primarily the same, the new version of Battle of the Network Stars will span the decades for its team talent. But there’s good news for all you millennials who missed the boat: ABC has announced it will bring back the classic show with a slew of new celebrities. You may be too young to have caught the original airings of the popular ABC TV show Battle of the Network Stars, which first aired back in 1976.
