| In a very interesting read at Yahoo! Sports, UFCPresident Dana White states that he knows for a fact EliteXC was tampering with fights: “I know for a fact it was (done).” When asked if he knew of other instances of fight influencing in EliteXC, he said, “Yeah.” “They’re bad guys,” he continued. “Fight tampering. You start tampering with fights. A promoter should not be talking to a fighter about any fight strategy whatsoever … You wouldn’t have me in a public blog saying the FBI should be investigating them right now if I didn’t know it.” http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/dana-white-i-know-fact-elite-xc-fixed-fights-1014495/ | |

| I wonder if the guys over in the ESPN forums found out and are now making comparisons between this and the WWE by now? | |

| What fights were fixed? His blastings of Tank and Bo looked real enough, though the tap seemed a bit fishy.
The rest of their fights seemed legit but I didn't watch many of their events. | |

| Dana has been saying this for a long long time.
Bo Cantrell trains around here, and people say it's a fact that he took a dive against Kimbo. He even got kicked out of the gym he trains at because he took a dive.
EliteXC absolutley fixed fights. Not all of them, only the ones that involved their big draws like Kimbo. I hope Gina Carano did not have any fight tampering otherwise she might be in deep shit. | |

| I remember Gina taking quite a few big shots from her opponents in the EliteXC matches. Hopefully there wasn't anything dumb going on | |
