Saw his HCF fight and wasnt impressed but depth in the HW division is always a good thing
Nice pickup. HW talent is always needed no matter what org you are.
Hague should do very well in EliteXC. He definitely had an off night in his HCF bout with Petkovic and I expect him to avenge that loss at Raw Combat: Redemption. Tim definitely deserves the shot in EXC.
Great news! This should be a good boost for EXC’s sorely lacking heavyweight division!
