Living together whilst also fighting each other, the teams must also face challenges designed to take the fighters outside their comfort zones, enabling fans can see the true personalities and characters behind the steely competitors.
Representing team England are George Staines, Jake McHugh, Hascen Gelezi and Beau Gavin - all looking for their big career break.
Ireland's prospects are Matthew Elliott, Denis Frimpong, Aaron McDonald and Armand Herczeg - looking to defeat their English counterparts and claim an Oktagon contract worth £25,000.
In the first episode, the fighters move into their shared house together & tempers flare ahead of the first clash in the cage, with the winner being settled by a brutal knockout in front of the rest of the competitors.
