To be fair ProElite saved Cage Rage from going down the pan.

It's just ProElite and the companies they purchased lost so much money that everything eventually went belly-up anyway

I'm a huge fan of Pro Kumite and Shock N Awe so far from a pro fighter and coaches point of view. They get the contracts out quickly to the fighters, no problems with the fight purses or tickets deals plus the events seem to run smoothly. Angrrrr Management are pretty good too.
