So ProElite Inc., the parent company of EliteXC might be getting bailed out from being $50-some million in the red by none other than SHOWTIME Cable. Word thru the "Jake-vine" is that Showtime will pretty much buyout the fledging MMA promotion. They already own 20% of ProElite anyways.

Wonder what kind of changes they'll make as far as production and staff go.

Discuss, kids.

Well... for one, they better keep the fights showing on regular cable. If they only start showing on showtime, then i think the company will only fall farther.

They need to get better fighters then Kimbo Slice. Nothing against the guy...but its all the company has as a big draw. If he loses, then they really have no other fighter to fall back on.

Technically Cung Le is under contract with STRIKEFORCE. He only fights on when STRIKEFORCE and EliteXC co-promote.

But yah, they need to bring quality fighters to fight guys like Jake Shields and Nick Diaz and Antonio Silva.

I don't think Silva is top 10 by any means, but as the promotions Heavyweight champ, they gotta supply him with good competition.

Did you not see Nate Diaz win against a quality fighter in Josh Neer last nite? And Nick Diaz is still waiting for that pansy BJ Noons to grow some balls already.

Yes, I call Noons BJ cuz that's what he must be doing by not defending his title.

yea but it shows how bad there HW division is when heis the champ, yea i saw diaz win, but he didnt impress me, his hits have no power, there like slaps, he has a triangle but thats all id give um, penn,guida, pulver hell even uriah faber who is lighter i would put money on to distroy him in the first round. i think its his attitude i dont like.
