The only guy they really promoted during commercials was Edor. Kimbo was just a side show really waiting to be exposed at some point. I'm not sure how fitting it was happening like this. They have some other guys to promote up, but are they willing to actually do that? Too bad one of the most marketable fighters they have is Gina since women fighters are a tough sell and the depth of talent just isn't there to promote up.
Lost in all of this is that Shamrock has to be pissed that he won't get the chance to be the guy to expose him.
