On September 15th, anyone who’s looking for a good break from the UFC need only tune into Showtime at 10 PM Eastern. EliteXC will be presenting Uprising, a card full of big names, & great fights. Gary Shaw’s upstart promotion has been turning heads everywhere in the MMA community, & this could be the show that truly does put them over the top. Sometimes controversial Boxing promoter Gary Shaw is beginning to learn more & more about building up a fledgling MMA promotion. Shaw has the experience, savvy, & apparent financial backing that it will take to compete with the UFC. In what seems like less than a year; Shaw was able to secure a deal with Showtime, start the MMA equivalent to ShoBox: The Next Generation, acquire the Cage Rage organization, brought female MMA to the mainstream, & broke barriers by teaming up with K1 Hero’s & Strikeforce. http://mmablog.fightbeat.com/?p=7#more-7
