Thread: Elite XC bites the dust

So, another 'big' promoter goes under. Whoda thunk it...

Well me. I predicted it here recently.

Not at all surprised really, i bet Dana is a happy camper

Tits.. i would liked to have seen it succeed..

Will Dana put in a bid for the like's of Diaz and Alverez or will he watch them fight on an Affliction promotion.

no new companies will be starting for a good while so its pretty much up to Affliction and UFC to pick out who they want and all the other fighters are pretty much back to the bottom of the pole.

So d'you reckon Womens mma is over?
I'd like to see that jake shields bloke picked up by ufc coz i think he'd get his balls handed to him.

Also, the end of Kimbo?

and! No shamrock v shamrock.... what a pitty.

Just hope UFC sign some of their female talent, and i don't mean their octagon girls.

Good riddance i say, their headline guy was beaten by a ufc reject with a 0-2 record

Well, much as expected has come to light with this rather brilliant interview with T Jay Thompson (Icon promoter who actualy knows how to do it):

what are peoples predictions for where all the fighters will end up?

I reckon Affliction should try and get Carano vs Cyborg. Not sure how they'd take to fighting in that ring though.
Lawlor, Herman, Diaz and Alvarez probably to UFC.
Ninja probably back to Japan.
Kimbo to working the door on McDonalds at weekends or something.

I hope they either go to dream or affliction, as long as its not ufc. I want dana to losen his grip on fighter's contracts to enable the best to fight each other.
