Pro Elite / Elite XC closing doors effective immediately!!!

http://mmamania.com/2008/10/20/repor...e-immediately/

Quoteworthy:
“Less than two years following the formation of ProElite, Inc., the group notified employees and fighters Monday it was shutting its doors effective immediately…. ProElite was an entertainment and media company founded in partnership with Showtime Networks and spearheaded by the mixed martial arts promotional brand EliteXC. Representatives for ProElite, EliteXC and Showtime did not return calls for comment.”
Wow … this is a major development in the sport. The author of the article, Josh Gross, is a reliable source so we’re inclined to believe it is accurate. Stay tuned for more details as we attempt to collect more information.

Dana will sign Kimbo to some lame deal just to prove a point that he's garbage. Tito will likely go crawling back to the UFC to be an eternal gate keeper.

Good news, this may force UFC to start a womens division with the recent stardom of Gina Carano.

Dana said last week that he will NEVER have women in the UFC. Guess I'll have to go back to watching American Gladiators to see Gina Carano.

The only fight that I was interested in on the next Elite card was Carano vs. Cyborg. Oh well....

Could be a mistake for Dana, I think it could be some great under cards for a few events.

If Kimbo stays around I just hope he has to fight a serious "ground & pound" guy.

Maybe Dana can pick up the Females in WEC. Would be a good move I think!

I want him to fight GSP. Though he out weighs GSP, GSP would MURDER him.

This isn't really a shocker, they were bleeding money and really never had a solid foundation other than a lot of money behind the promotion.
