Here's another snippit from the article.
My comments above were right on, not a fix but as close to one as you can get. Boy are the Exec's at EliteXC ever stupid. They'll have to change/modify their process for replacing Card fighters on short notice, lol.

Before Saturday night, the general consensus was that Shamrock’s only hope of beating Kimbo was to get the fight to the ground. For EliteXC to even suggest to Shamrock that he’d be rewarded monetarily for not doing that against their marquee fighter is as close to fight-fixing as we’ve ever seen in MMA. (If the report is true, of course.) Though it would hurt MMA’s credibility in the short-term, a criminal investigation of EliteXC would strengthen the sport in the long-term. With every unscrupulous promoter that is outed and punished, MMA moves further away from being publicly viewed as an unregulated free-for-all, and closer to being accepted as a legitimate sport.
This will hinder their chances for signing marquee fighters in the future.
The losers of UFC/WEC go to EliteXC, or they try to form their own Organization, lol.
