I have seen local shows where they've had mixed bouts with kickboxing/muy thai fights and boxing matches.
So that means you want Gary Shaw to close down Elite Fighting and stay the f*ck away from MMA? Because consensus is that many MMA fans were very happy with the quality of the past saturday's ppv delivered by Shaw.
It will happen very soon, it won't be with UFC. But EliteXC is a huge possibility. I have heard Shannon Briggs talked with people on the idea. Bodog is another possibility.
