Fightlinker links up all of their reports on EliteXC's shinanigans. Their a blast to read. Check it out (http://www.fightlinker.com/?p=3404).

If you just want to see the list....

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

Creating fake weight classes to accommodate specific fighters

Having negative press removed from websites

Replacing Gary Turner with Ricco Rodriguez to fight Antonio Silva two weeks before the fight, and not even bothering to tell Gary

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

Trying to get Nick Diaz approved by the CSAC with a medical marijuana card.

Consistently booking main events that are mockeries

Jared Shaw yelling for standup that favors Kimbo Slice

Gina Carano never hitting weight

****ing over Strikeforce by interfering with their contract with Frank Shamrock

Allowing a fight to go on when Nick Diaz came in 9 pounds overweight

Setting up an in-cage riot between the Diaz and Noons family

Lying about the removal of Gary Shaw

Giving Antonio Silva a can for the HW belt,

and then having him test positive for steroids

More mismatches? Say it ain’t so!

Putting out one of the most disgraceful ads in the history of television

Stripping their LW champ over one fight

Gina Carano weigh-in sketch

Jared Shaw showing clear bias for Kimbo Slice again

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

ProElite losing 3.5 million dollars on website operations

Ken Shamrock vs Buzz Berry … nuff said

Phil Baroni gets ‘nutted’ on NutsTV

NJAC’s insane behavior during EliteXC’s first CBS show

why I don't like Elite XC is that (and this has came up before)

they're run too much like a Wrestling Federation, IMO

take the following example ..

"Setting up an in-cage riot between the Diaz and Noons family"

the commentary going "No dammit, Diaz ruining the post fight celebration/father son moment"

I could totally see the same thing happen on an episode of Monday Night Raw.

plus and this idea was canceled at the last minute but it's beside the point.

the Elite XC heads wanted to stage a war of words between Ken and Frank Shamrock.

I mean that right there is only a "burn in hell Undertaker" and a "he set the casket on fire!!"

from replicating the Kane/Undertaker brother rivalry.

granted they have Bill Goldberg as a color commentator, but if Elite XC switched from a cage to a ring .. at a distance I would mistake it for Pro Wrestling.

Wow - and I've had fun with the fed being on TV and being a UFC alternative...but I agree most of that stuff is shameful

it's too bad though as Elite XC does have some quality fighters, and most shows I've seen were pretty exciting

hopefully once the Kimbo thing gets blown out, Elite XC can try to refocus there image on the match ups and overall competitiveness

rather then the post fight "hype" like the Diaz's causing a post fight riot, or crap like that.

the list of crap they have pulled is hillarious and shameful as well. if even 25% of that list is true, which i believe most of it is true.....it just shows why they are and ultimatley will fail.

the commercial, which i have never seen before until now, really shocked me in how terrible their idea of advertising is. but i have to admit it was funny

Actually, the next major card is good!

Lawler/Villasenor for the title
Diaz/Alvarez for EliteXC title
Scott Smith vs. Hector Lombard Finally.

If you want a picture of Lombard, think the best in Cuban Judo mixed with Cuban Boxing and give it a nuclear fuel source.

agreed that event on paper should be pretty exciting

that's what i mean, Elite XC doesn't have the mainstream draw that the UFC does

so IMO they should cut the BS and try to put on the best fights possible.

and judging from that above card, those 2 title fights look to be pretty solid.

**ShoXC for tomm night looks pretty good

Dave “Pee Wee” Herman (11-0) vs. Kerry “Meat Truck” Schall (21-10)

Mamed “Cannibal” Khalidov (17-3-1) vs. Jason Guida (17-17)

Anthony “The Recipe’’ Lapsley (13-3) vs. Mike Stumpf (10-1)

Lyle “Fancy Pants’’ Beerbohm (7-0) vs. Rafaello “Trator” Olivera (2-0)
