Sam Caplan of Five Oz. published a report earlier today convering the latest additions and possible subtractions to the EliteXC/Showtime Nov. 8 fight card.
Apparently, EliteXC will announce the highly rumored vacant lightweight title fight between Nick Diaz and Eddie Alvarez tonight on CBS. Here’s a quick rundown of the rest.
EliteXC “Unfinished Business” took place earlier this evening at the Stockton Arena in Stockton, California. A portion of the card aired on Showtime. The main card was broadcast live on CBS. This event was the second mixed martial arts event to air on major network television.
Three titles were on the line tonight.
Antonio Silva looked to stake his claim as the EliteXC Heavyweight Champion in a match against former UFC fighter Justin Eilers.
Jake Shields finally got his opportunity to compete for a championship belt as he faced off the always dangerous Nick Thompson.
In a rematch from EliteXC’s network television debut, Robbie Lawler looked to defend his middleweight crown against Scott Smith. The first fight ended in controversy when Lawler inadvertently poked Smith in the eye causing the doctors to stop the fight.
Nick Diaz, Rafael Feijao, Shayna Baszler, Wilson Reis and Cris Cyborg were also in action.
Results after the jump.
EliteXC “Unfinished Business” will take place tomorrow, July 26, at 8PM ET/7PM CT on Showtime and 9PM ET/ 8PM CT on CBS. This will be the promotion’s second show on primetime network television and will feature a rematch for the EliteXC Middleweight Championship between champ Robbie Lawler and challenger Scott Smith.
