It's amazing how much Elite XC is blatantly protecting their poster boy. They know without him they pretty much have no draw to the noob MMA fans and vet fans know their talent isn't on par with other orgs. Brett Rogers is undefeated, but hasn't beaten any high level talent. Shows how highly they think of Kimbo.

Why would they put an inexperienced fighter like KImbo up against much more experienced fighters at this stage? Hes a money maker for them but both Elite Xc and Kimbo acknowledge he is only a baby in the sport. They are marketing his potential why squash it by rushing him in.
