Ideas for EliteXC 5/31

Since a majority of the UFC's Hall of Famer's are on the outs with the organization have these guys as your special guests at the network debut, sitting cageside.....maybe on commentating for a fight or two. Ken is already under contract with EXC so I'd have him as a guest color guy, but bring in HOF'ers Royce Gracie and Dan Severn. You are kinda limited to what you can do with Randy Couture due to the lawsuits flying about but you could probably get away with showing a him in a crowd shot or possible doing a short interview like he has done at live HDNet cards.

I liked the usage of the CageCam on the Shammy - Cung Le fight, they should use that a little more on the CBS show. It differentiates them from the UFC production-wise, and could possibly intrigue viewers.

Night of the fight weigh-ins are something i would like to see EliteXC use. This is a staple of HBO's boxing coverage and would be a good addition to MMA Coverage. They could also use the compubox stuff that Cuban used on his couple of HDnets cards.
