Mixed martial arts made its primetime network television debut on CBS tonight with EliteXC ‘Primetime.’ It was a historical night that had its shining moments, yet I’m highly disappointed in most of what I saw.
Lawler & Smith, Kimbo & Thompson, Baroni & Villasenor and Rogers & Murphy after the jump.
MMA’s primetime network television debut is only a day away, when EliteXC takes center stage on CBS with ‘Primetime.’ The event will air live on CBS at 9PM ET/6PM PT. The entire preliminary card will be streamed live on ProElite.com and CBSSports.com starting at 7PM ET.

Phil ‘The New York Bad Ass’ Baroni is nothing if not entertaining. He might not win all his fights, but he always makes them exciting. Just look to his last two fights against Frank Shamrock and Kala Hose. He happens to be just as entertaining out of the ring as he is inside it. A lot of fellow fighters say he’s just a normal guy day to day and turns on the bravado in front of the cameras and behind the microphone. Well, in MMARated.com’s latest interview it appears Phil Baroni is back again discussing Joey Villasenor replacing Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua for his upcoming bout on CBS at EliteXC: Primetime.
There were a ton of announcements, replacements, and rumors for upcoming events this past week.
Four more middleweight fights were announced in addition to the previous three. The new matchups are:
