Sucks that they folded at a time when they was putting decent cards. And what they was doing with the SHO XC series bringing up potential fighters even tho they were far from becoming household names.
AT this point WEC should pick up female fighters for the simple fact that they giving up their lightheavy and middleweights to the UFC. A name like Gina could bring WEC a bigger draw in ratings plus keeping up with the nonstop high impact style of fighting format.
Theres a few fight organizations that are trying to kick up dust but putting PPV cards with no exposure is following the footsteps all that are foreclosing....
Can't blame Dana White he's just good at making money off the MMa brand and promoting. I feel for fighters at times but, when you sign a contract it becomes a business, when you fuck with shiesty managers that don't know shit you become a whore, then the ego's start coming in.
Props for Joe Silva to keep doin what he do and match up great fights with legitimate fighters. If you aint got what it takes then they aint fuckin with you straight up....

Dana might black ball Tito, he's that type if ass hole (IMO).
UFC almost closed down to, til the casio Brothers bought it. Then it had the backing to get pass the debt til it was enough to make money.... that's why its gotta be in it for the long haul.
I think Affliction is where Tito might head to. But for a career to keep going, they gotta have some kinda structure for their fighters. Yeah, they can keep putting on fights that people wanna see, but they dont have all the talent like the UFC.
If trump was to become a great promoter, now would be the time to do that. Pick up the talent that IFL and Elite XC has and make it happen.
Arlovski was a lend from Affliction since they cancelled their show.
There are other fighters besides Kimbo that deserve better. Diaz, Lawler, Bigfoot Silva, and anyone that is trying to break into MMA.
I feel sorry for Brett Rodgers, he quit his job changing tires to become a full time fighter.
Even the women.

Dana is running a monopoly which sucks. Pat Militech joined IFL and Dana said he wasnt gonna sign any fighter from his camp (and they had a lot of champs come outta there) bekuz of that... then they wrote Pat off the books as a champion.
