The elites of the world need to move quickly to solidify their place in the market or it is lights out and time to go home.

Although, the UFC 84 card was unbelievable. I could see someone watching that over the CBS card if they haven't seen it before. Also, perhaps the Spike event was much more promoted. At least to those age demographics. Those fights on CBS were great. If that would have been the first event they would have had a way stronger 2nd show.

I dont know how many MORE homes CBS gets to than SPIKE. I think, but am not sure I read that it is somethign like 17 MILLION more homes receive CBS than SPIKE. That is a failure for EliteXC not to have more viewers than SPIKE on the 26th It is bad when a cable tv mma REPEAT event beats a LIVE mma event on FREE tv!!!!

I enjoyed the fights, and the production was improved, but for the most part they're still behind UFC in terms of the caliber of the fighters. I am a little disappointed, though, because this round of fights was better than the first and deserved better ratings. I guess I’m not surprised by the final numbers.

With Strikeforce having an NBC deal, and Elite having CBS, they will not be having their fighters facing off. Le/Lawler is not going to happen for two reasons:

I know Le has a following in the vietnamese community and all of the bay area but on national TV? Perhaps after his movie debut on the new Tekken movie but before that, who knows. I think Shamrock vs. Le II would be great on CBS. Hmmmm, would Lawler and Le draw enought mainstream mma fans?

Word of mouth will spread fast when they've set opponent's for these two. Here's is what I'd do. Frank Shamrock vs. Robbie Lawler for the MW strap. When, well...TBA. Eddie Alvarez vs. KJ Noons. Or have him fight the winner of Noons/Diaz since there is already a lot of heat already. Eddie vs. Hellboy could happen next so it's all up to EXC. SAM, why can't you be the next Joe Silva??? I expected the UFC on Spike to do better anyways. Why? Because it's the UFC. That PPV event was one of the best this year as a whole. I had such a great time that night. Cheers!!!

Is this the same Cobra from Junkie? “I don’t think Frank can fight until he gets his braces off”
