EliteXC and CBS should be embarrassed. I've been watching MMA since 2000 and I was embarrassed that I recommended it to friends that haven't watched it before. It seemed to me that they set the matches up for brawlers so that it wouldn't go to the ground where the general public wouldn't understand the grappling aspect. I really think that they screwed the pooch on this one and was really disappointed. Should have pushed the WEC card that was on last night the Torres x Maeda and Faber x Pulver fights were more than entertaining.

Grotesque display of violence. No more than 2 fighters trying to mame and disfigure each other. That dude's ear was just fing nasty. |
Don't judge the sport as a whole on a company that has only been around for 18 months and a card employing nothing more than C level fighters.
On a side note watching highlights of the '74 US and got a laugh out of Johnny Miller taking 4 to get out of a bunker.
