Gary Shaw not impressed with rankings, logic
Posted: Friday May 16, 2008 01:06PM ET
It's been a busy week for Elite XC's Gary Shaw. Between hyping his organization's live show on CBS and condescending to his female fighters, it's a wonder he finds time for anything else. But Shaw bravely continued with his white-Don-King-in-a-track-suit act during yesterday's conference call with Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith. When talk turned to how strange it was that a title fight between Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler (who is frequently ranked in the top ten at middleweight) was playing second fiddle to the main event featuring Kimbo Slice and James Thompson (who is coming off two straight KO losses), Shaw tried to put things in perspective.

I bet he is doing his best to discredit rankings. Most of his top fighters are people that have fought in the UFC and lost often enough that they got cut or didn't get their contract renewed. There are some that are not in that situation, but look at lawler, baroni, smith. James thompson, 1/2 of the main event has gotten his butt kicked pretty much everywhere.
