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.
In case you missed tonight’s broadcast of EliteXC: Return of the King on Showtime, it was announced that EliteXC and CBS will in fact move forward with their second show in late July. Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler will headline the card in a rematch for the EliteXC Middleweight Championship.
Smith and Lawler first fought two weeks ago at EliteXC ‘Primetime’ on CBS which was turning out to be a classic fight reminiscent of Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar’s all out war at UFC’s TUF 1 Finale. The fight was even going into the third with Lawler and Smith each taking a round on the judges’ scorecards. Unfortunately, the fight came to an abrupt and anti-climatic end in the third when Lawyer accidentally poked Smith in the eye resulting in a no-contest.
No additional details were given on EliteXC’s second primetime network event, although Jake Shields and Antonio ‘Junior’ Silva are rumored to be fighting for the organization’s welterweight and heavyweight titles, respectively. With UFC 86 and Affliction ‘Banned’ already booked for earlier in the month, July is going to be a huge month with three major mixed martial arts events.
