Kimbo Slice to Fight at EliteXC in Newark New Jersey in May?
2008-03-21 04:47:00 It looks like another MMA event will hit the new Prudential Center in Newark New Jersey. The last time it was UFC Validation featuring Bisping vs Rashad Evans, this time it will be Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith, and Kimbo Slice versus an unknown competitor. Sounds like a hell of a night, but guess what? It only gets better. EliteXC has signed a deal with CBS. CBS will be broadcasting the MMA event live on May 31st at 9PM ET free of charge! Wait, it gets even better, this May 31st event will be one of many. The new program will be called “Saturday Night Fights” and rumored to fight along with the title Robbie Lawler vs Scott Smith, Gina Carano may possibly step away from the American Gladiator spotlight to get back to her roots. This is only a rumor at the moment.

Kimbo Slice and Bas Rutten Post EliteXC Fight Interview Video
2008-02-18 04:40:00 Kimbo Slice has proved himself to be the real deal once again. Now that he has yet another pro MMA victory, what does he have to say about the Tank Abbott fight? From a learning experience, he was expecting Tank to come out looking for a take down or throwing a “sloppy left”. Regarding his next fight, Kimbo’s willing to take on anyone that his trainers will put him up against. If his trainers don’t want him to take a fight, he says he won’t. As for Kimbo being “big time” now that he’s had another victory. He’s just another “squirrel in this big world trying to get a nut”. Bas Rutten states that Kimbo’s a natural. Bas in not worried about Kimbo rising too fast and facing off with someone out of his league. Kimbo and his trainers are smart, they know the game, they will take it one step at a time and not get ahead of themselves. Big up to Kimbo for entertaining us once again. YouTube Direktvideo link

EliteXC: Betting Odds for Nov. 10 Renegade Event
2007-11-10 04:25:00 Several books have laid the odds for 5 of the fights at this Saturdays Elite XC: Renegade event. BetUS is currently offering the best odds and I will use those in this post. Two big names in MMA are back in action and one underground big name is making his real pro debut. The Elite XC events are broadcast on Showtime and are well produced. There's a couple of betting values on this card and definitely a number of fights worth tuning in for, especially Kimbo Slice.+325 KJ Noons vs Nick Diaz -450The reach and average ground game of Noons will leave him struggling to utilize his skill set in this fight. Diaz should be able to continue his winning ways once he decides to take things to the ground. Diaz via Submission+250 Bo Cantrell vs Kimbo Slice -350Kimbo may be a street fighting legend but he has some serious skills and has put a lot of effort into training for this fight. Cantrell is a well seasoned fighter but his record (10-10) speaks for itself, unpredictable. I would be hard pr...
Showtime Announcers Discuss EliteXC's Coming BIG Event - 09 Nov 2007 05:37:
2007-11-09 18:37:00 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (Nov. 8, 2007) ? EliteXC, the world?s fastest-growing mixed martial arts (MMA) promotional company, will conclude its inaugural year with an explosive five-fight telecast THIS SATURDAY, Nov. 10, live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) from The American Bank Center Arena in Corpus Christi, Texas.

EliteXC makes bad gamble with Kimbo Slice - 09 Nov 2007 03:10:37am
2007-11-09 04:10:00 By Todd Martin Saturday night, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson makes his EliteXC debut. Slice signed a multiyear contract with EXC in the past month and since then has been heavily promoted by the organization. Why is Slice the most heavily promoted fighter on EXC's upcoming card? He doesn't have an amateur wrestling pedigree. He isn't an accomplished jiu jitsu practitioner. He isn't a Muay Thai standout. In fact, he has only one sanctioned fight, and that was an exhibition against 46-year-old boxer Ray Mercer. Slice isn't being promoted for any of those reasons. Rather, EXC is hoping to capitalize on his fame as an underground street fighter. This is a mistake. EXC's promotional philosophy is a sound one. It realizes better than most of UFC's competitors that MMA is built around star power. There are plenty of talented MMA fighters, but not all have the charisma, personality, fighting style or life story that can bring in the masses. ...

Yves Edwards Talks Gonzalez, EliteXC - 08 Nov 2007 11:46:26pm
2007-11-09 00:46:00 By Keith Mills The past two years have been rough on Yves Edwards. In the summer of 2005 Yves was on top of the world, beating Hermes Franca for a second time and getting an invitation to Pride?s Bushido Grand Prix while riding a seven-win streak. Problems developed with first a loss to Joachim Hansen in the first round of the tournament followed by an upset loss to Mark Hominick and seemingly ?final straw? loss to Joe Stevenson in UFC. Even BodogFIGHT resulted in two losses for the fighter at one point thought of as the best in the world. Now Yves looks to turn that around at ElteXC, largely due to his change in training at ATT where previous opponents Aaron Riley, Jorge Masvidal, and Mike Brown all train. This weekend fans get to see the initial results of that change as Yves faces Nick Gonzalez. KM: How do you feel about your debut in EliteXC this weekend? YE: I feel good about it.

Shields Predicts Exciting Finish At EliteXC - 08 Nov 2007 11:38:28pm
2007-11-09 00:38:00 By Damon Martin As Jake Shields enters the last fight on his current EliteXC contract to take on Mike Pyle, it will not be for a title as the Cesar Gracie-trained student originally thought. But he still plans on bringing an exciting pace to the show and make his opponent pay for taking away the championship opportunity. ?I definitely was ready for a title fight,? said Shields. ?He took the title away from me by not fighting me (for it). I?m sure he has his reasons. It still kind of pisses me off. I?m going to go out there and take it out on him.? Pyle was not notified of the bout being a five-round title bout until about five weeks prior and determined that wasn?t enough training time. He subsequently opted for a three-round non-title fight instead. Since his last loss in late 2004, Shields has put together eight wins in a row over many top opponents. Lately it seems his motivation has moved to finishing his opponents with punishing stoppages. ?I think I just keep getting bet...

Gonzales Replaces Baca On EliteXC Card - 07 Nov 2007 04:05:32am
2007-11-07 05:05:00 By Brian Knapp EliteXC officials revealed today that Nick Gonzales will face veteran Yves Edwards on the undercard at EliteXC ?Renegade? this Saturday at the America Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Gonzalez replaces Edwards? original opponent, Moses Baca. Gonzalez (13-5) will enter the match with wins in four of his last five bouts, the lone hiccup a submission loss to Strikeforce lightweight championship contender Josh Thomson in June. Gonzalez last fought at a King of Kombat event in September, as he delivered a third-round TKO victory over Jay Estrada. Known for his lanky build and savvy striking game, Edwards (29-13-1) put together a seven-fight win streak in 2004, which included a split decision win over Hermes Franca at UFC 47 and a highlight-reel head-kick knockout of Thomson at UFC 49.
