LAS VEGAS - The mixed martial arts organization that put former street brawler Kimbo Slice and female fighter Gina Carano on national television is going out of business. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/mma/?m=show&id=976)]

WAIT... I thought MMA was KILLIN Boxing? PLEASE!!!

We needed a UFC competitor with a TV deal, but shady promoters, underhanded business tactics, and poor handling of talent doomed EliteXC.

Maybe 'Petruzellied' will catch on as a phrase when a fledgling company has finally crossed the line in the future...

yeah that really did XC in, it's kidna too bad as they did have some talented fighters on there

it's just how the events were ran/promoted and what you said which did them in.

(I personally found the actual events to be good, despite the fact that it reminded me of Pro wrestling too much ie the Noons/Diaz post fight rumble for example.)

and it didn't help that there biggest star was a former street fighter most known for being on youtube.

and what does this all mean for Slice? do you see a promotion picking him up?

because no way the UFC or Affliction will.

K-1/DREAM will.

Ishii loves big black guys.

Kimbo killed the company!

Kimbo killed the company!

Nah. I don't blame Kimbo. He saw an opening and he took it.

I blame the Shaws and they way they did business. They've messed up one scene and almost hobbled another.

Wasn't Tito going to join Elite?

Wasn't Tito going to join Elite?

yeah he actually was seen at the last event

and I think the talks were of having a rematch with Frank Shamrock.

Frank has to get by Ken of course lol

white must have pissed his pants with happiness . . . its too bad, the fight i saw on xc weren't too bad. its odd that the 'fastest growing sport in the world' with all its millions and millions fans cannot keep these mma companies afloat.

It's because those who start things don't have the background or passion to keep with it.

Is UFC next?? Probably not......

I only seen afew events of Elite XC and from what I seen the was some talented fighters with them.

I bet Dana has an erection reading this.

some quotes from dana white off fightline.com

“Obviously today is a great day in MMA,” When White referred to EliteXC’s demise. “ProElite is dead. I’m sure some of you saw the interview I did about how bad these guys are for the sport, so today is a good day.”

“Jeremy Lappen, the three time loser,” White said of EliteXC’s former Head of Fight Operations. “This guy was with a company called Battle Management. Then the other one there that we ended up getting… the WFA. And now, ProElite. Jeremy, you have a law degree. Go get a real (expletive) job. Okay? Go get a real job. Your parents must be really bummed out. Spent all that money on a law degree and you’re (expletive) around in MMA trying to screw up this business. Go screw up someone’s (expletive) court case, or go do something else.”

“And then the little rapper kid,” White began. “You’ve got a rich daddy. You can just live at home with your mom and dad and live in the basement. (Laughs) You don’t even have to get a job. You can hang out at nightclubs and DJ and go back to the basement and go to sleep, you little (expletive).

“Gary Shaw? He’s going to be around for a long time in boxing, so as long as he stays in boxing, all us MMA people can be happy. It’s a good day. It’s a good day that these guys are gone. Obviously, I saw a lot of the comments and a lot of the people agreed with me about how bad these guys are for the sport. So thank God they’re gone.”

That was just too good!

The funny thing is you can literally fill in a conjugation of 'f.uck' into every '(expletive)' and come out completely correct. Dana White is a f.ucking f.ag. Also, I've never heard a gayer name for a dude than 'Dana White.'

On that note, I think I'll grab another beer.

is that a beer .. or a f*cking beer?

so is MMA really the fastest growing sport? because it seems outside of the UFC, Affliction and maybe DREAM MMA isn't all that well known

and can't seem to stick around all that long. (at least promotion wise as Elite XC joins quite a list of MMA promotions who've folded)

Should have had Kimbo on the undercards instead.

Gary show is a ****in fat rat.

He fed guys like Vic Darchynian smaller guys just to gas that ****in little ****, he even paid this last guy off to make sure Kimbo wins.







How can a man with this kind of reptuation be put incharge of a new MMA movement??????

Needless to say, I'm pissed. I was lookin forward to more of NICK DIAZ and even Joey Villasenor vs Robbie Lawler. And more of Gina Corrano..lol I wish women like Gina grew on tree's, that's a bad *****. But this fat rat **** just sunk his own ship.
