I guess it's official, EliteXC has filed for bankruptcy. While this was the first MMA league to cross over to the mainstream (i.e. CBS), the failure is not really surprising considering the brand was built around one man, Kimbo Slice. While Kimbo is popular, he just doesn't have the skills of the top MMA fighters, which was made obvious on October 4th against Seth Petruzelli. Despite his inferiority, I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Kimbo. It may not be in the UFC, but I'd bet it won't be long before Kimbo appears back in the spotlight (is YouTube considered in the spotlight?).
Pay Per View: Mike Tyson v. Kimbo. I'm not trying to start any rumors, it's just a suggestion.
