^^^I dont even know who that guy is, but he's acting like a female. Being that mad that Elite XC is a mockery of his favorite sport is like being that mad that NFL Street is making a mockery of Madden or some shit.

Nah man. Dana White (dude in the video) is President of the UFC. The fight game already has a bad rap because of Boxing being a joke. That's what they're trying to get away from. Any hint at funny behavior taints the reputation of the sport, thus impacting the business (his business) in a negative fashion. EliteXC is on network TV for free and in some cases, a lot of people's only/first time exposure to MMA. If it represents the sport in a bad way, it's bad for everyone as a whole in the business. I'd be pissed too.

Those guys at UFC seem to have worked really hard to get the product to where it is now. UFC is the mainstream league of MMA. To alot of people it's a quality product. Right now, EliteXC, in his eyes is looking to just make money trying to cash in on "acts" (ok, one act) who draw crowds, but can't really deliver a product that compares to the UFC. Then you throw in a little alleged fight tampering and some wink wink/nudge nudge bullshit and we're right back to why people started to hate boxing.

People in the boxing community hate Gary Shaw as well. Like Dana said, he's just a greedy scumbag that will do anything for money. He's a certified piece of shit and recently most all of his star boxers and up & comers that he represent, left his ass too, so now that Kimbo got KO'd, he's fucked.
