ELITEXC ARE FUCKING SCUMBAGS
March 27, 2008 – 11:00 pm by fightlinker
Is there a scummier fucking company out there than EliteXC? Honestly, these guys collect criminals and deviants the way kids collect Pokemon cards: like they need to ‘catch em all’ or they’ll freak out. I’ve put up with it to this point because for the most part what happens outside the ring is a fighter’s own business. Krazy Horse is a goddamn psycho, but that’s outside the ring. He pays for the consequences of his actions on a regular basis, getting thrown in jail every other week. Kimbo I’m still iffy on, but so long as he doesn’t go back to felony fights while repping our sport, that’s okay with me too. But there are basically two people in MMA who I will never be okay with: that fucking nazi scumbag and Mike Kyle.
We talked about the nazi scum a while ago when we first realized he was fighting for King of the Cage, a sub-company of ProElite. We thought the issue was dealt with after hundreds of jackals sent messages and emails to ProElite to make them aware of the situation. Of course, that didn’t stop them from booking Costa again a few months later. But even employing a freaking neo-nazi pales in comparison to the latest bullshit by ProElite (and let’s not forget Strikeforce for going along): they’ve booked Mike Kyle for the Shamrock-Le card tomorrow.
Do you remember Mike Kyle? If you don’t, then you should re-watch the video above where Kyle delivers an illegal kick to his opponent and then continues to rain punches down on his unconscious foe while referees struggle to pull him off. How bad was the damage? Here’s his victim Bryan Olsen to tell you:
ADCC: What injuries did you suffer due to the illegal actions of Mike Kyle?
BRIAN: I have fractured the zygomatic and maxillary bones on the left side of my face. I also broke my nose and ruptured a sinus cavity in my nose. I saw a specialist today and he told me from the position of the fractures and injuries, it was the result of more than one hit. Basically some of the injuries occurred after the kick when he was punching me in the face.
ADCC: On June 3rd, 2006 you were scheduled to fight Chad Bartlett at MFC 7: USA vs. Russia III. Is that bout now off and do you think you will ever fight again?
BRIAN: That fight is off and after my surgery I will have plates and screws in my face permanently. I have along way to recover and consider my fight career over.
I don’t know how they’ve done it, but somehow ProElite’s sub-company EliteXC has managed to book the only person out there who’s worse than that fucking nazi guy. Mike Kyle intentionally and brutally broke the rules to hurt his opponent as badly as possible. How that guy is getting back into the cage when he should be sitting in a jail cell is beyond me.
So let’s break down the list of who should be fucking ashamed of themselves here:
1. The California State Athletic Commission for reinstating Mike Kyle. Fighting is a privilege, and Kyle should never be allowed to step into the ring again after what he did.
2. EliteXC for booking someone who has proven that he has no respect for the rules of the sport or for the well being of his opponents. By extension, booking someone like Kyle shows that EliteXC cares more about courting controversy for financial gain than they do for the well being of their fighters
3. Strikeforce for allowing this shit on a co-promoted card.
4. The fans and MMA media for not standing up and voicing their outrage over this.
I can’t tell you how sick this whole situation makes me. It has turned a card that I was eagerly awaiting into something that I honestly have no interest in supporting or watching. I honestly have no goddamn clue what the hell was going on in the minds of the people at EliteXC when they decided to book this fucking disgusting waste of space. The fact that these are the ones who are going to be in charge of sheparding MMA into the mainstream media with the CBS deal is starting to scare me more and more.
