I'm excited about this, if for no other reason than the fact that it's more free MMA on TV. HDNet fights, WEC on Versus, UFC on Spike, and now EliteXC on CBS.
I can see how, if this fails, it could be seen as a setback for MMA in general. But EliteXC is sort of a minor league. I think the extra exposure out weighs the risk. Assuming of course that they put on a quality show.
I wish it had been the WEC, honestly. They have some quality fighters. Of course they're also owned by ZUFFA, so that's not happening.
