What a wonderful rumor filled weekend I missed out on. Another rumor is that the UFC is waiting to swoop in and save CBS from the lackluster EliteXC.
If this is true then it shows that CBS believes in MMA and just made the wrong deal with the wrong company. Or they just wanted control and the UFC wouldn't give them an ounce. Still , if anything is going to happen CBS would have to wait out their contract with EliteXC (still two fights left).
For the UFC, a prime time network deal would be fantastic. But I can't help feeling a little weird about the whole thing. It feels to me like the EliteXC is the dorky kid and the UFC is the good looking guy everyone likes. But EliteXC got the hot girlfriend in CBS. So the UFC was a little pissed off and started knocking her down by saying stuff like, 'she's not that hot' and 'I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole'. But now that things look rocky the UFC would totally hit that.
You can tell I watched an episode of Laguna Beach and as a result I have lost my soul.
