Some thoughts from last Saturday's EliteXC. Kimbo Slice probably won't do anything in the world of MMA and Gary Shaw is gonna have to look for a new poster child of his upstart organization.
Scott Smith was an average fighter at best from the UFC and was fighting for the Welterweight title which shows how little talent they have in the organization. It was a great fight but it was just like having 2 mediocre football teams play each other. It'll be a great game but if they played a top team, they would get stomped.
Having their top female fighter come in 3.5 pounds overweight didn't help the credibility of the organization. If their poster girl for their promotion didn't care enough to make weight, why should anyone else care?
Overall, they had the opportunity to steal an audience and probably didn't do it. The production was very amateurish and the commentary was average at best. The ratings were great but just like the XFL, I don't see this lasting too long on CBS.
