EliteXC would be along the lines of TNA compared to WWE. They have some talent, not a ton and they're willing to attempt to get some named fighters but they are no where near as stacked and professionally ran as the UFC.

This is a big thing for them if they can manage to snag a few big names (Andrei Arlovski, Josh Barnett, maybe Fedor for a fight or two) they can become pretty big since they'll now have the marketing tool to build up the fighters and that's about all it takes.
