2008 is here and so are the dozens of “what will happen with UFC in mma stories.” The worst of which was the one by MMA newbie Ryan Hockensmith of ESPN.com.

We wanted james thompson take a different angle with our kimbo slice may 31 UFC preview story on FoxSports.com.

Will the UFC snuff out all competition? And is kimbo slice may 31 a kimbo slice may 31 competitor on the horizon?

White responded via Kevin Iole’s blog on Yahoo. He qualified much of what Gary said as a total joke.

White fired elitexc at Shaw Friday in a conversation with Yahoo! Sports, portraying Shaw as a money grubber elite xc only began promoting MMA when he was failing at boxing.

White said the UFC did better in 2007 than it did in 2006, contrary to Shaw’s assertions, and said Elite XC is no threat to the UFC.

“Gary Shaw is (an expletive) loser,” White said. “We beat our pay-per-view numbers from last year. Do you hear that? We beat our pay-per-view numbers from last year. We just don’t brag about it because we elite xc talk about our business in the public.

“And if we were getting competition, it’s not coming from Elite XC and both of the people who are watching their shows. This guy is a low-level bottom feeder. He didn’t like MMA a few years james thompson but elite xc he finally couldn’t make money at boxing any more, he came over to this sport to try to leech money out of it.”
