    They should get it on Kimbo, then get him to fight Overeem or someone, for my personal amusement. Overeem might be a *****, but he'd kick the **** out of Kimbo.

    Having a title should attract free agents to the show as the gold is the main thing fighters go for (after money).
    Co-promoting shows with other organisations would be a good idea to get audiences etc. but i wouldn't think they would want their title owned by a fighter from another organisation even if it is someone like fedor.

    If they're really gonna sell Kimbo, having "Champion" applied to his name is a necessity.

    I think Rogers should fight Kimbo. That'd be a much better fight.

    Id like see Kimo assuming he wins match up with Rogers while Antonio Silva fights a quality Heavyweight EXC signs to set up a mini tourney.

    This makes sense. I would also like to see Silva tested, but I do think he has talent and he trains at a good camp (ATT). Now that Dream have a relationship with EliteXC, it would be great if EXC could bring over Mark Hunt for a few fights. Dream hardly have any heavyweight on their roster at the moment and this would be a good way to keep Hunt active.

    Just remembered weight (cutting to 265 pounds) could be a issue for Hunt. Not sure how much he is weighing these days but he did look big in the Schilt fight.
