Interesting comments from an article about Showtime with mention of ProElite's own Gina Carano and Strikeforce's Ronda Rousey, who was broadcasting on Showtime using the Licensing Agreement provided from ProElite to Strikeforce, which is just about to end with Strikeforce leaving the station and ending its existence as the UFC continues it push on Fox and it's own PPV's.

"The Showtime exec talks about the network's commitment to women's MMA, saying "we were supporting women's MMA when it wasn't cool. We sort of found and helped develop Gina Carano. I think when Gina left to follow other interests no one expected another female star would emerge on Showtime. I'm not saying Gina and Ronda are a dime-a-dozen but there's other talent out there and we'll be looking for it." "Most importantly he teases Showtime's continuing interest in MMA, "Anything we do going forward in the MMA space is going to involve the women's division.""
