There’s word coming from Mauro Ranallo that the next EliteXC show will be devoid of many things us fans have railed against since the promotion’s first event: the skanky dancers, the rappers, and the cheeseball fireworks. No specifics on if they’ll be getting rid of the retarded DJ who continues to whikka-whikka-whikka every time Jimmy Lennon Jr announces a fighter in the cage. But I’ll take what I can get, since I’m bound by this blogging shtick to watch whatever EliteXC does, no matter how terrible it may be.
