EliteXC Heat: Will It Be Hot Enough?
The troubles of EliteXC have been well documented so I’m not going to rehash all of that information. However, the most important question is will EliteXC be able to beat their initial foray(ratings wise) with their 3rd installment on CBS this Saturday night? They have a lot of things going for them in that their two biggest ’stars’ [...]
Dana White On UFC Success During Economy Crisis
Peep the video here
Basically Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta acknowledge what we already knew. That most people get 8-10 people together and ‘chip in’ to buy the UFC pay per views. What concerns me is as the UFC continues to destroy the competition, they can use the perspective to make even more money possibly. They [...]
October 2008=Extraordinary Amounts Of Mixed Martial Arts
I can’t even begin to described how excited I am as a mixed martial arts fan. The upcoming month of October will make available to us…the fans…extraordinary amounts of solid MMA action. The following is a list of events for the month:
EliteXC: Kimbo vs. Shamrock Hype Video
Shields”>Shields”> vs. Daley
Well, it looks like EliteXC has finally decided to promote their upcoming show that takes place October 4th(this weekend).

Who Benefits From WEC/UFC Division Merger?

My Thoughts On Affliction/EliteXC Agreement
As you probably have read by now…Affliction and EliteXC have struck a one fight deal. This deal will allow Andrei Arlovski to fight Roy Nelson on EliteXC’s October 4th card that will be their third installment on CBS. Many people are excited by it for some odd reason or another, but let’s keep it real…this [...]
Why Cro Cop Is Done
I initially spoke about this here about a month or so ago, but yesterday’s performance against Alistair Overeem pretty much confirmed it. The fight ended in a ‘no contest’ so a rematch is probably in the works, but I really don’t have the same interest as prior to yesterday’s fight. Overeem did whatever he wanted to do [...]
Cheick Kongo vs. Al-Turk At UFC 92
The announcement of Velazquez withdrawing from the fight will leave many disappointed as the fight guaranteed fireworks. All is not lost, as a replacement has been found in tough Frenchman Cheick Kongo, who is coming off a TKO win over Dan Evensen at UFC 87 in Minneapolis.
“We were offered Kongo by Joe and we accepted [...]
