Comparing that show to a UFC event... oh man it just sucks that it wasn't the UFC that got that network TV date. The world needs to see BJ Penn or GSP, not Kimbo.
I agree about the questionable stoppages in every case. But I would content that that was not Elite XC's fault. It was more likely the fault of the NJ Athletic Commission doctor's and CBS who had hair triggers over the blood and potential barbarism of the fights. It's too bad, but putting MMA on network tv might have forced too much of a compromise. UFC may have been savvy not to get in bed with a network tv station for this reason.
