		<description>So here’s a list of some less than savory moments in EliteXC history:

Fake Ring Girl contest to get Jared Shaw laid (like the one UFC did on Spike?)

Pulling strings to get Krazy Horse Bennett out of jail so he could fight for them (why is this bad thing for fight fans or fighters?)

Allowing Nick Diaz to fight with a staph infection - TWICE (Diego Sanchez and Forrest Griffen both fought with staph infections)

Creating fake weight classes to accommodate specific fighters (like the UFC did for Tito back in the day?)

Having negative press removed from websites (ever looked at the UFC&#039;s website?)

Replacing Gary Turner with Ricco Rodriguez to fight Antonio Silva two weeks before the fight, and not even bothering to tell Gary (source?)

Booking Mike Kyle, who shattered another fighter’s skull with a barrage of illegal strikes and had to be dragged off his victim by several refs. (would it be better to book a guy who just had a hi speed chase with police and may have possibly caused a woman to have a miscarriage?)

Trying to get Nick Diaz approved by the CSAC with a medical marijuana card.  (UFC has many fighters on the payroll who got busted for many different drup related offenses)

Consistently booking main events that are mockeries. (Leben/Bisping....Ortiz/Shamrock 2 and 3....Evans/Salmon...Thomas/Florian...Hughes/Alves...Silva/Irvin...)

Jared Shaw yelling for standup that favors Kimbo Slice. (Although he shouldn&#039;t get that emotional during a fight, he never yelled for a &quot;stand-up&quot;)

Gina Carano never hitting weight (no more Elite XC&#039;s fault than the UFC&#039;s fault for Lutter, Alves (many more) missing weight for their fights)...a title fight too.

Fucking over Strikeforce by interfering with their contract with Frank Shamrock (ya, like the UFC NEVER fucks anyone over, over contract disputes) lol.

Allowing a fight to go on when Nick Diaz came in 9 pounds overweight (Alves fought Hughes....&#039;nuff said)...BTW, the other fighter can say &quot;no&quot;.

Setting up an in-cage riot between the Diaz and Noons family (Like we watch on TUF every week?)

Lying about the removal of Gary Shaw. (Why would they make their in-house business decisions public knowledge?  Besides, who cares?)

Giving Antonio Silva a can for the HW belt. (Slim roster.  But I suppose Kimo, and that guy with the one boxing glove on, during UFC&#039;s early days were legit...lol)

and then having him test positive for steroids.  (Bonnar, Penn, Silvia, many more...)

More mismatches? Say it ain’t so! (1-0 Lesnar vs 10-3 Mir) 

Putting out one of the most disgraceful ads in the history of television. (Huh?)

Stripping their LW champ over one fight. (How long should they wait for him?)

Gina Carano weigh-in sketch (sketch?)

Jared Shaw showing clear bias for Kimbo Slice again (Dana, &quot;I hope Lyoto beats Tito&quot;)

Let’s not forget the chicanery going on in ProElite and ProElite related companies:

King of the Cage repeatedly booking a white power neo-nazi (like UFC paying Jeff Monson?)

ProElite losing 3.5 million dollars on website operations (UFC was 40 million in the hole to start...if they had websites back then I&#039;m sure they would have lost some money opertaing that as well)

Ken Shamrock vs Buzz Berry … nuff said (You obviously watched it)

Phil Baroni gets ‘nutted’ on NutsTV (Not sure what this means, but sounds like it has nothing to do with Saturday Night Fights)

NJAC’s insane behavior during EliteXC’s first CBS show (again...not sure what this has to do with EXC)</description>

		<description>Very True Violent Mike, Elite has a long way to go before I throw out 40 dollars.  As for Introvert here buddy is a list and thanks to the guys at Fightlinker for providing said list as to Why we as fans are quick to Scream Shenanigans

If you’re wondering why everyone is so ready to believe that EliteXC paid fighters more to stand with Kimbo - and not in an innocent ‘KO bonus’ kind of way - you might not be familiar with the history of sketch that EliteXC has carried with it from the start. So here’s a list of some less than savory moments in EliteXC history:

Fake Ring Girl contest to get Jared Shaw laid

Pulling strings to get Krazy Horse Bennett out of jail so he could fight for them

Allowing Nick Diaz to fight with a staph infection - TWICE

		<description>Dave indeed hit the money. I couldn&#039;t agree more. I don&#039;t mind them trying to advertise Kimbo but why not make the guy an undercard fight on a Title fight card. It makes more sense, you are showing Kimbo as an up and still using his draw power to bring in viewers. Let the man fight real opponenets and let the dice fall where they may (continue to feed him below par fighters with weak ground game and decent stand up if you want him to win). Then this is still using Kimbo as a draw and is also showing who your marque fighters are and gives all other fighters more respect for Kimbo in the process. Or you can do what EXC did and promote Kimbo as the greatest fighter of all time, fighting some of the has been greatest fighters of all time who are now all grandpas as the main card.</description>
