Elite question not a spoiler

BigJoe111 · 07-26-2008, 07:11 PM

I have a question and there isn't an easy way to ask it. Does anyone else find it odd that Elite booked four fights, 2 that were slated for 5 rounds, on a two hour event? The main event isn't going to start until 9:45. It begs the question that a friend of mine just asked me. Is there something shady going on? I don't think so but it does seem odd that they schedule fights in that fashion.

I've been flipping between channels all night but I believe they only aired 4 of the fights.

I find it more interesting that they mentioned the UFC and WEC so often. I wasn't paying that much attention but I kept hearing them mention Anderson Silva and even called him the UFC champ/one of the best P4P. Strange....

I also briefly heard them compare Big Foot to Fedor and I almost choked on my Smirnoff.

What kind of shady business? What's the point?

Right, that's what I'm wondering. I don't really follow what you're (BigJoe) asking, unless you're implying that the title fight was scheduled to start so late because it was scripted to finish within the time allotted?!?

And, correct, only four fights were aired. Don't worry, I'm giving no spoilers in this thread. One fight was scheduled to be a swing bout for CBS in the event it was needed.

I dont understand

What kind of shady business are you talking about

do you think they are fixing fights or what.

And they kept mentioning Anderson because he was there. He and Big Nog cornered one of the fighters

Yeah they did mention the UFC a hell of alot. Oh an all of the anouncers called A.Silva the top fighter in the world, P4P. Hell they even showed him on camera. but then again everyone who has eer fought in the UFC always gets that mentioned when they are being talked abot or introduced so that doesn't suprie me at all. But it was kinda of suprising how freely they did though.

My friend was refering to the fights being fixed. Why wouldn't they at least sufficient time for the four fights, which is what I clearly stated in my first thread? If all the fights had gone the distance they wouldn't have had enough time to cover them all. So I guess the question is doesn't it at least seem that the results of the fights might have already been known?

I apologize for not being clear enough.

Didn't surprise me, for the reason you mention - other orgs talk about the UFC and its fighters and their place in world rankings pretty freely, it's really only the UFC that doesn't talk much about other fighters.

Rogan will sometimes break ranks and do it, but when he does it's almost always just mentioning the fighter by name and not the org he fights for, and if you're a casual fan and know nothing about the guy, the reference just flies over your head.
