I haven’t heard anyone talk about Gina’s gogo attempt, I didn’t think she had that kind of confidence in her subs. She didn’t really come close to finishing with it but totally trapped Young, and could have laid out the elbows (like Day did against Belcher).

Hey Kevin, have you and your wife ever thought about opening your own gym? From what I can gather from your posts, both you and your wife both train and keep in shape, and I think you have the money to put down for the start-up costs (you paid off your car, correct?).

Elite XC is a joke. There events were as rigged as the WWE’s. I personally won’t ever watch that crap again and I hope they get cancelled. I even hope the company goes bankrupted. The whole event was a digrace to mma and made mma look bad. Boycott elite XC!!!

Knock yourself out man :p. I probably should have thought of a mainstream sport that was on cable before being broadcast, but hey as long as there’s a laugh or two out of it, it’s all good.

While I did cringe a bit at the spectacle of the fighter entrances–Phil Baroni mackin’ it all the way to the ring in particular, I guess I wasn’t too disappointed because my expectations weren’t that high. It would be nice if they refined it and made it more appealing to MMA fans, but I get the feeling it was all about dollars and ratings. I really don’t know what CBS was thinking having Gus Johnson as an announcer either. It also would have been nice if they had put the Jake Shields/Yves Edwards matchup on that card, but I suppose they thought a Phil Baroni homecoming would have more appeal.

I guess it did have some resemblance to a train wreck, but I don’t think it was particularly detrimental to MMA in general. You never know, CBS and Gary Shaw may have learned enough from it to put on a better show next time. Regardless of that, the ratings should be enough to show the UFC and the other networks that there is a huge revenue potential for broadcasting a quality event. I mean honestly, the whole idea of Elite XC being on network television before the UFC is kind of like broadcasting the CBA to see if there’s a market for the NBA. I hope it served its purpose as a wake-up call for the power players involved, I just have my doubts about Dana’s ability to get the deal done.
