I wanted to keep my article more positive so I didn’t touch upon Goldberg as much. He did say a couple of really dumb things, but I was still expecting worse so I just let it go. He’s a big egotistical ex-pro wrestler, what should we expect? A replacement would be nice…someone who knows MMA, perhaps.

Last night was a clear indication that the UFC needs to sign a deal with a HBO, CBS or NBC. Showtime really helped the production value. I agree that EliteXC needs to hype themselves better and not go against a Boxing PPV with names. The fights were cool. The Yves fight was great! Glad to see him rising again. I disagreed with the split going to Silva over Rodriguez but I haven’t watched it again, definitely a close fight. Scott Smith looks like he has found a good place to compete, can’t wait to see what he does there. Lastly, Bill Goldberg is the worst commentator to carry that last name. Yes, I believe I can do better. I know he is trying his best, but he is atrocious and ruins the chemistry of the other broadcasters. Some might claim Mike Goldberg is the worst in the business, but at least he has a broadcasters poise, something Bill does not. Anyway, rant over, EliteXC was cool last night.

I think you are right on Brandt. About the only area I think that they need to work on, is a better job hyping their next fight show. I dont mind the rapper and the dancing cheerleaders, those are points of differentiation and they are relatively short enough to not be annoying but long enough to allow time between fights to come off smoothly. Bottomline, I was very entertained and I might even pay for an Elite XC pay per view.
