So this is a very important sport for us especially where we are right now in our country, and I think that mixed martial arts is a necessity. It's important for us to see how men fight on the ground, how men not only use their hands but how they can use their legs, their knees, their elbows, So I think that the people watching it appreciate it. I think we got more positive responses – as a matter of fact, I know we got more positive responses. People said they actually had fun watching it. When the girls got in there, it showed the warrior spirit of the ladies as well with Gina Carano. All in all, I would say 80/20 thought that it was a great experience.

Operator: We'll go next to Eddie Constantine with "Pro MMA".

Eddie Constantine: Doug, what is EliteXC's timeframe for implementing the new weight classes set forth by the ABC?

Doug DeLuca: We're discussing it right now. We are happy with our weight classes at the moment, but yet, we, ProElite, understand the need for kind of a unified system. From day one, we've shown that we are about working with other organizations and we're committed to creating a true world championship system. So, we know the only way to do that is to work together with everyone. We haven't really made a final decision, but we expect to do so in the near future here.

Nick Solomon: How long have you been studying jui-jitsu?

Gus Johnson: I've been studying jui-jitsu probably since I got this assignment so I think it's in the three-month range. I also studied Kung Fu. I've been doing that. I'm in my third year and I've been a western boxer for about seven years.

Nick Solomon: What motivated you to study each one of these disciplines?

Gus Johnson: Well, as a kid, as I said, I was a wrestler and a very good wrestler, a eastern conference second place which was one of the championships in AAU as a kid and had a chance to wrestle in the Junior Olympics in Omaha, Nebraska, but back then, my dad couldn't get off from work to make the drive from Michigan. So I've always been interested in combat sports.

And as I got older after playing baseball in college I came to New York and I wanted to make sure that I stayed fit and I started boxing prior to that. I'd studied Aikido in Washington, D.C. and Tai Kwan Do. After boxing for a certain amount of years, I wanted another challenge so I started participating in Xingyi, which is one of the Chinese martial arts of Xingyi Kung Fu; Xingyi, Bagua, Tai Chi being the three internal martial arts. And then I received this assignment to participate in MMA through CBS and with ProElite and when I started watching the tapes I realized that there was no way in the world that I could give an accurate depiction of what was going on if I didn't really understand what was going on from a fighter's perspective -- when the fight hit the ground. I literally live eight blocks away from the Renzo Gracie Academy which is one of the top Brazilian jui-jitsu academies in the world so I figured that for me personally because of the way I like to approach it that it would behoove me to go out there and start participating, and lo and behold, I didn't realize how difficult it was, but at the same time, I didn't realize how addictive it can become as well. So that's kind of how I ended up here.
