Keep your fingers crossed, because the EliteXC fighters whose contracts have been in limbo since late October — and who have been legally barred from competing for functioning organizations — may be free to move on with their careers. We were first alerted to the news by Mad Xyientist on the UG, who listens to Sherdog Radio so we don’t have to:
BloodyElbow follows this up with more details:
A lot has been said about Scott Coker’s incredible business sense, and how he’s been able to build what’s basically a regional outfit into a legitimately profitable operation that still manages to pay its fighters well, all while miraculously staying on Dana White’s good side. And yet we’re still shocked that Strikeforce has enough cash on hand to purchase as large a property as Pro Elite. Or maybe they’re just assuming some of Pro Elite’s sizable debt, and no actual money is switching hands. We’ll let you know when more details emerge. But for now, it seems like Gina Carano, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler and the rest are one step closer to working again, and that’s great news.

Both Strikeforce and EliteXC had pretty shallow talent pools, so this is perfect. If this goes through, Strikeforce just may elevate itself from its current top-of-the-minor-leagues/bottom-of-the-major-leagues status and become a serious big-league promotion. Which would mean tougher competition for Affliction and the UFC, but good news for everyone else.

Unless there is a massive overhaul of how the CBS shows are done and Strikeforce stays as far away from the "Pro-Elite Model", I'm afraid this might end in a similar fashion as Elite XC did, except this time dragging Strikeforce's original stable down too. I hope it works, and I hope the debt accrued by Elite and now, I suppose, taken over by Strikeforce is not impossible to turn around. I still don't think the UFC or even Affliction have to worry about them yet. Having said all of this, more free fights make me happy, so at least we will get that for a while.

Doesn't Strikeforce have an agreement with NBC for television already? How would that work if they bought Elite XC with an idea of having events back on CBS?

Stop giving Kimbo Shit! He is a good street fighter and could be a very good MMA fighter! He just needs more training. I wish him the very best of luck in his career. and all the former Elite Xc fighters.

@ Aussiejosh Are you serious? Fuck Kimbo thanks to him and his team of nutthuggers every random idiot fan who thinks he knows shit about mma sees Kimbo as the greatest fighter of all time fuck him! You probably support Kendall Grove as well.
