Maybe he has his eye on the UFC or some other organization.
True but even if he has to stay with EXC for a few more fights, a win or two on CBS would definitely bring more bargaining power with it. Of course maybe the contract they are offering sucks.
Since UFC began championing MMA, a number of other promotional concerns have been founded. The program CBS is offering in May (with Robbie Lawler defending his version of the middleweight championship against Scott Smith) is being assembled by ProElite’s EliteXC fight division.
According to Dion, Noons (6-1) tentatively was scheduled to appear on this card, but before EliteXC would offer him a contract, it wanted him to commit to three additional matches under its stewardship. Dion would not commit.
“They’re trying to slam-dunk guys into long-term contracts in order to be on CBS,” Dion said.
