I really hope to not see Kimbo as a main event until he improves an earns that spot.

But Fickett and Jake imo would be a amazing main event an would show new fans a different part of the game other then the ko.

With that kind of main event imo the fight would be great, but also to the new casual fan they might not like it that much an turn the channel.

It is a risk i feel they need to take. They need to expose newer fans to more then just the Knockout.

I feel a submission is just as great as a ko, and in a fight if done correctly I believe new fans would think the same.

I could definitely seeing them give Tito an insane amount of money for a one off fight to fight a nobody.

Call me crazy, but I actually wouldn't mind seeing Ken Shamrock fight Tank Abbott. It's the nostalgia in me.

I've said it before and I will say it again, EliteXC has the deal with Dream. Call them and say, "I got a show, I need a star. Can you please provide me with a little MAYHEM?"

It's written into the contract from CBS that anyone who appears on the NBC strikeforce shows cannot be on the CBS EXC shows.

Shamrock is currently under contract with EXC and not Strikeforce

What Clint said.

Its not an issue of Strikeforce and EliteXC not working together, its an issue of CBS and NBC not working together, and the contracts that EliteXC and Strikeforce signed make them the networks bitch in pretty much every way (which is why Dana wouldnt take those contracts).
