"I think it’s laughable. People who are running it are jokes. It’s not real and the only game in town is the UFC."
ProElite head of fight operations T. Jay Thompson responds after the jump.
Whose side are you on?
Can the new-look ProElite establish itself as a legitimate mixed martial arts promotion? Or is it doomed to fail?
Check out the fight card for the upcoming ProElite show on Aug. 27 hereand leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

this guy calling anybody a joke is a joke
love to watch wand, florian, lauzon, gsp, cain, machida, dos anjos
bones jones will be the champ for a VERY long time
damn that was fun watching tito choke out bader
fedor man its time to hang up the gloves
I can see T.J making ProElite work and being sustainable
I don’t think this version of ProElite will be trying to take over as the dominating promotion in MMA- T.J Thompson doesnt seem to be the type to have delusions. He ran ICON Sport successfully for a number of years before they got bought out to join in what was supposed to be a great idea.
Imho I see bellator as the #2 org in the world and I was just curious if you guys believe Pro-elite has the potential to jumpo ahead of them? I look at the way bellator is structured in that they don’t seem to go and try blow HUGE wads of cash for top talent. I believe this to be a reason for their ability to stay alive thus far. And I’m just hoping Pro-elite doesn’t try and throw all their eggs in one basket and try and ride the coat tails of one or two big names.
