Elite XC is not competing with the UFC

They are competing with the WEC, hence the word "extreme" in both of their names. There aren't any organizations competing with the UFC in the United States.

Perhaps not directly at this time, but ofcourse they're competiters. Their dueling business models are evidence enough of this.

Once the "promoter owned leagues" are out, it will become very much like WBC, WBA, IBC organizations.
