Billed as 'The Ultimate Human Experiment' the Australian-based show has slated a North American series (Team America vs Team Canada). Chris Clements is set to coach Team Canada and inaugural UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver will coach Team America in the first half of 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wimp 2 Warrior Invades North America )〕 == Series 1 (Pilot) == The first series of Wimp 2 Warrior was released via YouTube and the Wimp 2 Warrior website.
