With the closing of the Elite XC organization last month due to a filing of bankruptcy, there is an arguable loss that goes along with it. Because the organization was a standout in that it gave spotlight to women fighters on its event fight cards, it seems that now Women's MMA will not be seen by the public. Elite XC which aired its events on Showtime, and had even signed a deal with CBS to air its fights live, provided an outlet of public exposure for women fighters. With the closing of the organization, female fighters may have to struggle even harder to gain acceptance.

I honestly think women's MMA will be back. This is assuming that men's MMA is going to stick around. Although I personally enjoy it, MMA is a fad. It's just like snowboarding, roller derby, wrestling, etc... any sport that is extreme and different will eventually wear out its "new".
