Antonio Margarito reps Arlovski in Affliction..

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

At tonight’s Cotto/Margarito fight tonight Antonio Margarito entered the ring wearing a Andrei Arlovski signature ‘Affliction’ shirt…

CORRECTION: After receiving a text message to the effect, and upon further review, we’ve determined that Margarito was wearing the ‘Birds of Prey’ design and not the AA signature design. They look pretty similar as the picture [...]

EliteXC: Scott Smith vs. Robbie Lawler

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Main event–rematch of the instant classic on the first CBS card which was stopped prematurely due to a Smith cut. Smith introduced first, gets a nice pop from the crowd. Lawler treated more with indifference than disdain by the crowd. Herb Dean the ref and he hears it from the crowd again.
FIRST [...]

EliteXC: Nick Diaz vs. Thomas Denny

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Kimbo interviewed, and he seems to be morphing into “Chef” from South Park right before our eyes. So let’s see–we’ve got Stan’s sister (Frank Shamrock) and Chef (Kimbo). Kimbo gives props to James Thompson. If you haven’t read it yet, head over to the main SavSci site and read Ralph Gonzalez’s interview [...]

EliteXC: Nick Thompson vs. Jake Sheilds

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Thompson comes to the ring first with an excellent entrance music choice–”Shout it Out Loud” by KISS. “The Goat” is no joke–he gave Eddie Alverez, who performed so well in the recent DREAM lightweight GP, his only career loss. Jake Shields is a Cesar Gracie BJJ black belt, one of only three he’s [...]

EliteXC: Shayna Baszler vs. Christiane Cyborg

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Coverage switches over to CBS now, and the women’s matchup will open the event. We’re still in opening chatter mode with Ranallo, Shamrock and Gus Johnson. They’re now showing the obligatory video of the main event fighters–Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler– entering the arena. From the angle they’re shooting the exterior of [...]

EliteXC: Antonio Silva vs. Justin Eilers

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Eilers is from Boise, Idaho. Jimmy Lennon, Jr. introduces Eilers as ‘the new and improved’ Justin Eilers. You need a better nickname than that, dude…Man, this is a rough crowd. They just booed Herb Dean….
FIRST ROUND:
Match is for the vacant EliteXC heavyweight title. Silva starts with a leg kick then starts [...]

EliteXC: Rafael Feijo vs. Travis Galbraith

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Someone just texted me about Frank Shamrock’s braces, suggesting that he looks like Stan’s sister on “South Park”. Feijo’s groundfighting trainer is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, his standup trainer is with him this evening and another guy you’ve no doubt heard of named Anderson Silva:
ROUND ONE:
Fighters feeling each other out for the first minute, looking [...]
