Mark Cuban Reviews EliteXC on CBS

MMA Rated asks the questions , Mark Cuban says what he thinks:

MMARated.com: What were your overall impressions of the show?

Mark Cuban: I think they did a great job for a first show.

MMARated.com: Do you think that was a good representation of the sport?

MC: Why is everyone so caught up in whether this was a good representation? It was an entertaining show. It was mostly existing MMA fans as viewers. It was easy to watch the card, and MMA fans did. This was not a show that new fans jumped on board to watch. That doesn't happen in a first broadcast.

MMARated.com: Did you expect the show to generate such a good rating?

MC: I thought it would do fine. MMA does great on HDNet and Spike. There was no reason to believe it wouldn't do well on CBS.

MMARated.com: Do you think that Kimbo Slice is good for the sport of mixed martial arts?

MC: Yep. Just like all the WWE wrestlers the UFC brings in. They are branded athletes that people are interested in.

MMARated.com: Are you a fan of female MMA?

MC: Yes

MMARated.com: Was there anything CBS did in the telecast that you would like to see on an HDNet Fights broadcast?

MC: Not really.
