When he's not off making meaningless purchases of small companies, Gary Shaw has spent a lot of time attacking The UFC of late. Today he said that the UFC champions aren't legitimate champions until he fights his champions:
"But for Dana White to try to convince the fans that he owns all of the best fighters in the world? To say that this is just a starting point for fighters and then they're going to go to UFC? He is full of sh-. Let him fight our fighters."
As things stand right now, Elite XC is a real fun promotion to watch, but it really is just a training ground for UFC. If Kimbo dominates and gets 4 knockouts, I wouldn't be shocked to see The UFC try to take him. For now, it's in the UFC's best interests to let guys develop over there before signing them prematurely.
