Look man, you're an employee of ProElite, a direct competitor to Zuffa. Why would they want an employee of a rival organization talking about them in mainstream media (CBS)? By the way, your attempts at obfuscating the relationship between ProElite.com and EliteXC are transparent and borderline dishonest. ProElite Inc. owns both ProElite.com and EliteXC, therefore the issue is not that you work on a "competitor site", the issue is that you are an employee of the competition.

The facts are more credible than either of us. This is an EliteXC fluff piece, hosted on the ProElite website (both owned by ProElite Inc), passing off as news. I think that suggests ProElite commissioned it to create some positive buzz. By the way, Niki, don't you also work for ProElite as a photographer? Similar to the Sam Caplan situation, ProElite really should be more up front about its conflicts of interest.
