Jake Shields is trying to get into the UFC now. I wonder how many of their fighters are looking at the UFC, UFC owned WEC, or Affliction?

Most of the Elite fighters are UFC wanna be's or Has beens! The only one I would welcome is Gina as a cage side comentator/Card girl!!!! Seriously though, most of the good fighters washed out of the UFC and the rest are not good enough for the UFC. I dont see Dana doing anything more than scooping up a few guys to feed to better fighters.

Add insult to injury and add Kimbo to the next TUF event! LOL. I would try to get Eddie Alvarez to either WEC or the UFC - that guy is good an bring excitement to the cage. Paul Daley to TUF US vs UK to give UK at least a fighting chance but I don't think he will go for it.

First off Dana offered Kimbo a spot on the Heavy weight TUF and Kimbos Camp turned it down, I think that a TUF lead by Bas Ruttan would kick ass.....Maybe (Dana if you read this hire me for this kind of shit) a TUF were the "classic" fighter coach. Hire Bas for one team, Mo Smith for the other and then have some great walk ons like Olag, Dan Severn(who will do anything for a dollar), Tank, and some other funny guys to work out with...okay, Tank can take care of the drunken stuff at the house!! I think that would Rock, Of course Kimbo would be on Bas's team and could learn alot from a walk on with Gracie....er, pick one!

Speaking of that Dan Severn was a celebrity cut to the other night.

I think it's fucking right that EliteXC "died". I am sure as hell sticking to UFC and now hoping that we will see more of the great fighters in the other organisations in the octagon, I mean for example when will we finally see fedor what he can do to the champs of the UFC

why does Fedor need the UFC, the only thing goodfor him there is money, marketing and hyping up to the world properly. They do not have the HW's to challenge him really. He needs for Affliction to heal their financial wounds and establish themselves as a big runner. Or go over to dream with Barnett, AA and sergei and a few other floaters maybe. The UFC will not sign or resign them top HW's so Fedor joining the UFC will never happen me thinks. Do see what you mean though and I would much rather see the UFC with all the top HW's on their books...yes please.

It was meant to sound more of just rubbishing the UFCs HW division more than anything. Which as everyone knows is pants. My point was simple that if Fedor wants competition he is better of not going to the UFC at this point in time. I did say I would love to see the UFC have a monster HW division but they don't so Fedor being a free agent isn't that bad for him. Any organization will pay him the cash so even though he wont get red card treatment he will not go hungry. I agreewith qwerty there too...just show me the money and I will make myself famous when I want it, money talks as they say.
