EliteXC is filling that niche in the market.

The UFC has done more free shows this year than the EliteXC. They also have a free show in October, December and January.
They tried to work out a network deal but the networks wanted to control the production and the UFC wouldnt relinquesh the rights to that. I dont blame them after watching the first EliteXC production. Now however the EliteXC is doing a nice job with their production so hopefully that will reopen talks with the UFC and a network TV deal.
