ProElite announced plans Thursday to develop "multi-program MMA content for network TV" with the cooperation of Mark Burnett, who produces popular shows such as ESPN's "The Contender" and CBS's "Survivor."

The untitled initial reality series will focus on former professional athletes Jose Canseco and Herschel Walker, who will lead undisclosed sports stars to train mixed martial arts. The "team" of former greats will do battle with EliteXC talent, with the show's finale touting a "famous celebrity athlete match up."

Reality television is a venture already experienced by Canseco. He was featured on season five of VH1's series "The Surreal Life."

A lifelong martial artist who is well known for his physique and workout routines, Walker has been announced as co-creating EliteXC's project with Prem Akkaraju, who will also serve as co-executive producer.
