HDNet fights is pretty much out of business already. They haven't had a show in 2008 and, to the best of my knowledge, don't have any future events on the horizon. I think Cuban has decided he'd rather buy his MMA content rather than promote his own shows.
IFL will be out of business by the end of the year.
Ditto for Affliction.
EliteXC will either be (1) out of business or (2) a huge success story by the end of the year.
Strikeforce will definitely still be around as a regional competitor. They make serious bank as long as they stay in their own back yard.
Adrenaline is a huge unknown. I suspect they'll do fine, as Monte Cox has a long history of running profitable MMA promotions. He won't overextend himself like all of the other johnny-come-lately promoters have done.
