Who cares that the headliner is a circus. EliteXC has some entertaining fighters in the stable. Through the Noke/Smith KO, I’d say this card has been fantastic.

Stop that BS. He and his crew best not rock the Reality Kings shirts when he comes out to fight. It will set back his meteoric rise (and possibly the EliteXC promotion, if not all of MMA).

Dana wouldn't allow it, but Cuban seems to have no problem with it. IIRC Kimbo was a security guard for porn studios in the past which might explain his choice of sponsors. jaydog, its up to the promoters.

Having only a notion of what that was about, I googled it and confirmed my suspicion: a subscription porn site. I'm sorry if this has already been debated to death, but can someone answer for me if this is standard for MMA fighters? Condom Depot on a fighter's shorts is one thing, but advertising XXX movies really demonstrates that the MMA wants to be a marginalized classless industry (far from a respected sport). Sure, a card titled "Street Certified" is probably going to be a much more likely place to see an affinity for all things gutter-oriented, but that doesn't make it right. Sometimes I wonder, "Why aren't I more open about being an MMA fan?" Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Kimbo. (this coming from an anti-racist fan who supports Kimbo's eventual professionalism) Kimbo’s entire entourage is decked out in “Reality Kings” logos.
