'Dark Side of the Cage' wrapped up their inaugural season with their 'War Machine' episode last Wednesday. The series was both informative and educational as newer fans learned more about the past greats who competed, while older fans learned more about the stars they grew up watching.

Season one featured episodes focusing on the likes of Nick Diaz, Kimbo Slice and Ronda Rousey, and several notable names contributed throughout.

During the final episode of Deeper Into The Cage, producer Tim Healy disclosed to host Robin Black who he'd be interested in covering in a potential second season.

Healy mentioned that Silva and Ferguson would be at the top of his list and expressed interest in making it happen:

"I know we try to avoid active fighters, which I completely understand... I don't know what it is about 'The Axe-Murderer' Wanderlei Silva that I'm just so fascinated by that guy... I think he would make for a really fascinating story, especially about the early beginnings and kind of where he came from and what made him into the athlete that he became. I'm all about big characters. I think Tony Ferguson would make a great episode, I really do."

During the aforementioned episode, Healy mentioned that Sonnen would be a perfect addition due to his relationship with so many competitors. He said:

"I almost said [Sonnen] as well because he's so interlaced with Wanderlei too, right? Because of that 'Ultimate Fighter' most viral moment of, 'I can't let you get close'. Chael is just such a character and I think he would be amazing." [15:02]
