Who will Elite XC showcase now?

[Finkelskyhook]

When it was anounced that Shamrock had pulled out of his fight with the "legend" and who was anounced as the "legend's" opponent,  I had an inkling that this could be a quick wipeout and the street legend would be exposed for the hyped fraud he is.

Petruzelli hasn't won all of his fights that I've seen him in.  But unlike Slice's other opponents, he wasn't a hundred years old, couldn't fight, or scared to death.  Petruzelli has always been a fearless guy with a big punch who can fight.  Slice probably would have been beaten by the ghost of Shamrock by some kind of submission.

To Slice's credit, he was gracious in defeat.  He was also pretty game to take the fight in the first place.  Without a definitive MMA skill, though, there's little chance he'll progress beyond where he is at his age no matter who his coach is.

Hopefully EliteXC can find a true MMA fighter to showcase now.

They might sign Tito Ortiz, or else I think Elite XC might be done.

Tito hasnt been good in years.  He still carries the name value, but lets be honest, thats why they are in trouble with Kimbo.  Just having a big name isnt going to get it done, you need to be able to back it up with a good performance.

EliteXC will probably go the way of the majority of the MMA companies...bankrupt.  Unless they can do more with Affliction, they wont be around in a year.  The only fight on the card last night that was worth watching was Arlovski, an Affliction fighter...EliteXC has nothing.
