I personally have a feeling they are just in it for money and nothing more. They don't know the game. Why is Noones allowed to turn down fights while holding the belt? Why is Kimbo their poster boy? Why don't they advertise at all? Why are they banking on Shamrock and Kimbo drawing huge numbers after Shamrock has lost (5 straight?) so many fights lately? Waste of money!!! Thank's for the free fights while they last though... WAR DIAZ!!! Elite XC is playing their cards all wrong… they need somone who knows buisness and also has the mind of a fan.

MMA fans should support EliteXC. If EliteXC folded, the UFC wouldn't be giving us free MMA cards like they have been doing lately. If they had no competition, they would screwing us over left and right. Bye Bye free UFN's and UFCs on Spike TV. Nice post Rob! MMA fans should support EliteXC.

Shitty business is shitty business. rob, point is that while MMA fans know of the card, UFC fans (non hardcores/blog readers) don’t. Shitty business is shitty business.

You can when less than a month til the event and there is little to no advertising. The promotion is pathetic for this and the last CBS card. They can learn a lot from the UFC and start advertising there upcoming shows at current events. But they don't. Going head to head against: UFC, Baseball, and a HUGE football game is a big deal, and if you don't start promoting the event, you'll end up being the loser of the day.

I cant believe that EliteXC would want to go up against college Football and the MLB Playoffs like that. The UFC are doing the right thing and showing real top fighters on there cards.

The EliteXC card is going to be great and their ShoXC cards look really good as well. Funny how MMA fans can hate a company for giving us MMA for free. Hahaha….all the haters.
