DREAM & EliteXC to swap more fighters.....
At today's press conference for DREAM 3, officials from DREAM & Pro Elite Inc. announced that the two have formed a partnership that will include the two promotions swapping fighters & referees, as well as co-promoting shows. The following is a quote by Pro Elite executive William Kelly on the partnership:
"In the last year ProElite and EliteXC and other brands have made a lot of progress, and some of our progress is due in part to our relationship with FEG and now with Dream. We are sharing fighters. We are sharing referees. We intend to do co-promotions with Dream both in Japan and in the U.S."

This is potentially huge for Elite XC --- getting major coverage of their fighters in the Japan is a major bonus if and when they decide to expand into Asia, something the UFC hasn't done since the disastrious Ultimate Japan's a long time ago.

Could be interesting to see how this turns out.
Of course this is probably what UFC should have done after purchasing PRIDE.
