With people like Chuck Lidell talking about Kimbo and any other fighter in Elite, he is just giving them validity, and unfounded validity. Tank Abbott has always been one dimensional. Now he is older and grossly overweight. When he was fighting UFC in his prime he was still overweight and out of shape. It will be interesting to see if Cuban can bring this to everyday TV.

I've heard that EliteXC has signed a deal with CBS, which if it's true, brings a HUGE new audience to the promotion. I for one have to agree with you in saying that EliteXC is going to start making some serious moves. It might take a while to catch up with UFC, but I can see it happening. I know I'd rather watch a free fight than a $50 ppv. and the last couple of elitexc events have been just about as exciting as some of the ufc events.
