It appears that we’ll have at least a short wait before the main event. They’re showing clips from some of Kimbo’s street fighting videos and now running a profile of the man. Ranallo putting over Kimbo’s “it factor” which is exactly what we were saying following his beatdown of Ray Mercer. Shamrock …
Lawler’s EliteXC middleweight title is on the line here. As we mentioned in our previous post, Lawler something of an enigmatic fighter. On one hand, its hard to argue with his 15-4 record with 12 wins by KO. He’s beaten some of the best in the sport, including Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua, Joey …
Kaitlin Young comes to the cage to the first to Avenged Sevenfold, followed by Gina Carano. Real tough matchup for Gina against a talented and tough Muay Thai specialist. Young hearing some boos. Carano has a great ‘game face’–wondering if her many non-fighting responsibilities have caused a problem in her preparation for …
This will be more standup banging as both guys are heavy handed strikers. Both are also technically adept strikers, so again a good action packed fight for the opening CBS show. More EliteXC chicks bumping and grinding on the entrance ramp. Wonder how many times they had to re-take Baroni’s intro’ trash …

Jon Murphy has apparently cut all of his hair off–maybe Clay Guida sent him …
The show is underway with an intro featuring the fighters on the card. It looks more like a NFL pregame show so far than the UFC, WEC or DREAM. They’ve got the usual EliteXC girls dancing on the runway. The voiceover on the intro video gets off a funny line about ‘bringing …
We’re standing by ready to bring you live coverage of EliteXC on CBS…
With the exception of Kimbo Slice, most of the media attention in advance of the EliteXC debut on CBS is going to Gina Carano. While the part time ‘American Gladiator’ deserves credit for helping put women’s MMA on the map, we want to give props to OUR favorite fighter. Shayna Baszler is …
In what ended up being something of a non-story, Gina Carano failed to make weight for her EliteXC fight against Kaitlin Young on Friday night. She was required to maintain a weight of between 155-170 pounds for her role on “American Gladiators” and with taping for that show ending just three weeks ago she …
Saying that any of the promo videos that Daisuke Sato creates for DREAM are ‘awesome’ is sort of proclaiming the obvious–like explaining that Las Vegas in August will be ‘real hot’. In any case, here’s the official DREAM.4 promo and–you guessed it–it rocks…
