Bao would be wise to take the EliteXC fight against Reis, even Affliction is offering more money to fight for them. Reason being, if he accepts the fight, it will most likely be on CBS and for the EliteXC Championship. The exposure alone from fighting on CBS will be worth it, add to that potentially winning another title and it makes it worth it in my opinion. He could probably get more sponsors (and make his current sponsors even happier) if he takes the opportunity to fight on national television. He should make sure its on CBS, if its not, the decision is a bit harder and I could see him signing with Affliction instead. Another reason for taking the bout with Reis now rather than later is that Reis showed his vulnerabilities in his fight with Bryan Caraway (his poor stand up) and Bao could have an easier bout now before Reis tones his stand up and gains more experience inside of a cage.

Bao was offered a fight with Mark Hominick for substantially more money. He is considering both offers since he really likes the way EliteXC has treated him. He and Colin are going to figure out what to do next week when Colin returns from cornering Rob Emerson at UFC.

If Quach goes to Affliction, and idea who they would match Reis up against?
