Another one bites the dust…
Well folks it’s official I read it on Yahoo news today… EliteXC is done. It’s sad but I think everybody saw it coming. Just rack it up with the other wannabes like the International Fight League and Bodog Fighting [the site no longer exists].
I read that EXC was able to love $55 million in just 22 months of operation. I wish I could of gotten in on some of that action.
Before the embarassing Slice – Shamrock fight it looked Showtime or even CBS would pickup the company. But the nail in the coffin was the shady dealings around the main event between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock. Shamrock withdraw from the fight hours before the show was set to go live on CBS. In stepped no-name Seth Petruzelli and down went the company’s big meal ticket Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds.
Honestly I’m glad that Kimbo got beat but when I heard the news that Elite XC was folding, my mind immediately turned to my girl Gina Carano.
Fortunately I can still get my fix by watching American Gladiators. I really wanted to watch her next bout with Santos. That fight would of gotten nasty fast. I guess Affliction could flip the bill, the clothes cost enough. All I know is that UFC isn’t going to show it because Dana White has said that he has no interest in promoting women’s MMA which I can understand because I only watch to see Gina fight. I just hope that I get to see this fight on television.
