When Will EliteXC get Knocked Out?
It is clear that right now the EliteXC is currently one of the major players in the world of MMA organizations. They don’t sell PPV’s but they do have a recognizable brand along with a fairly decent stable of fighters. Only problem for them now is the fact that their most well known fighter Kimbo Slice was knocked out in fourteen seconds by an Ultimate Fighter 2 contestant known as Seth Petruzelli.
Now while Kimbo isn’t the only fighter in the EliteXC he was carrying the weight of a whole organization round with him and now all that weight has been passed on to Gina Carano. Carano can obviously be credited with the title of “most popular female fighter in North America,” she won her last fight and is still undefeated. Carano right now is the bigest name that the EliteXC has left, they need to get her fighting in every event to keep the numbers up and hopefully she wont get beat in such a dramatic fashion like Kimbo.
So with the bigest name gone and the whole organization resting on Gina Carano can the EliteXC rebound? It would take alot! They need to really start farming their own material and find a fighter with qualaties like Anderson Silva which is fairly impossible but it could be the only way. Another option for them is to sign a big name from another sport like the UFC did with Brock Lesnar. Kurt Angle is currently looking at joining MMA, the EliteXC should try and grab him before the UFC do.
What if they can’t find the fighters? If the EliteXC can’t find the fighters they are simply going to go broke. They are already $60 million under and much more in a struggling economy could be bye bye for the EliteXC. I personally hope they can rebound or Affliction can gain more power. Choice is always a great thing for a fan and if the UFC is always top of the pile we won’t get much of it.
