EliteXC Saturday Night Fights to lose Rappers/Dancers

By Brandt DeLorenzo on Jul 11, 2008

According to Mauro Ranallo on Fight Network Radio. After guest, and editor of Bloody Elbow, Luke Thomas said he didn’t like the rappers, dancers, and fireworks, Ranallo responded with this:

Well I’ll give you a scoop right now…that is all going to be gone come July 26th. There definitely going to put more on the fights themselves for a variety of reasons. One is economical and the other the being the fact that the show went over its alloted time by 51 minutes

Ranallo went on to say that this event will be catered more towards the hardcore fan. We’ll see.
