That's too bad they put all their eggs in the Kimbo basket.

 

Yea. And Now Lets See Kimbo In The UFC

 

Kimbo vs Lesnar would be a good fight.

 

Oh Yea HH. And We Would Spend about a Week Telling one of us 2 is right :laughy32:

 

I still don't think Jardine won the fight, but congrats again CP.

:cheersbeer:

 

Ummmmm not hardly. I won't ever watch an event with that joke again.

What happens to the fighters under contract for EliteXC?

 

what happens to Gina?

 

yep

 

:tombstone: :tombstone:

 

I imagine the UFC will start signing female fighters now that there are proven ones in other leagues.

As for the fighters under contract, they will have to migrate to other organizations.

If they go bankrupt there won't be any money left to pay off their contracts.

 

You read my mind brother, that's exactly why I asked that question!:icon_cheesygrin:

 

Thanks, Kimbo! You overhyped piece of crap. Now how am I supposed to see Gina Cerano in HD on free TV?! twinky. :icon_evil:

 

I really hate to see MMA organizations go under, but the sport needs more time to mature with the current rules in place.

This influx of unproven talent is hurting the sport.
