Another good point, that’s not something you can do on the fly unless it’s just a really big removable retainer

I am not sure if the athletic commission would have let him fight Kimbo with those braces he was wearing not sure if they can cover those for a fight i assume they would have to come off.

I was talking about filling in for Ken at the last EXC. Sure, he can get to 205 in a couple of months or even a few weeks. But in a couple of hours? If he wasn’t walking at at least 205, the commission would not have let him fight.

They fought before at a 200 pound weight limit.Frank fights at 185 now I’m sure he can go up 1 weight class and come in around 205 now.That’s not a big deal.

Robert, Someone else made a great point that Frank would have had to weigh 205 or more for that fight… Looking at him, I’m not sure he does.

Frank Shamrock offered to fight Kimbo so the main event would be on but the athletic commission refused and he stated during the broadcast that if Ortiz signed with EliteXC it would “give him something to do with his fists”.Do you think he’d be saying these things or offering to fight if there were no possibility of them happening?I am willing to bet Frank knows the details of his contract better than Stan the Caddy!

[b]“Hopefully planning an Ortiz vs. Frank Shamrock card.”[/b]

Frank Shamrock is under contract to Strikeforce. Scott Coker has gone on the record and said they won’t be doing anymore cross promotions with EliteXC so I doubt we’ll see that matchup anytime in the near future. We’re more likely to see Tito fighting Babalu in a cross promotion with Affliction, imho.

CBS is happy with the rating because of the competition of MLB playoffs and College Football being televised at the same time.

Wow good job EliteXC… I won’t pretend to know how rating numbers work, but would EliteXC be helped by the number of people flipping back and forth between the Cubs game and the college football games going on? Nothing similar was going on in May…
