In ultima luna s-au produs schimbari majore in lumea Mixed Martial Arts. Organizatia americana ProElite (prezenta in USA prin promotia EliteXC), a anuntat intr-o conferinta de presa in Hawaii, achizitionarea a altor 3 promotii bine stabilite deja in lumea MMA: promotiile americane ICON Sport si King Of The Cage, si cea britanica Cage Rage.
Ultimul eveniment organizat de ProElite, a avut loc in acest weekend in Honolulu, Hawaii. Descris de presa internationala de specialitate un real succes, si privind achizitiile facute in luna care a trecut, se poate spune ca incepe sa prinda forma o noua organizatie puternica, si totodata o posibila concurenta pentru UFC.
“Ruthless” Robbie Lawler, luptator veteran in PrideFC si UFC, si campion in ICON, a reusit sa castige prin TKO in fata lui Murilo “Ninja” Rua, dupa un meci incredibil de disputat, si astfel a devenit noul campion in categoria mijlocie.
