EliteXC ‘Primetime’ Post-Fight Press Conference Altercation With Kimbo & Rogers Video
June 1st, 2008
Ariel Helwani of MMARated.com is the man. He was everywhere in the past two days covering the EliteXC event and got video of the scuffle between Brett Rogers and Kimbo Slice at the post-fight press conference. It was cool of the fighters, Robbie Lawler and Phil Baroni, to step in and break it up.
More press conference videos after the jump.

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.

May 20th, 2008
With May 31 rapidly approaching, CBS is kicking its media and marketing machine into high gear in efforts to make the first-ever network televised MMA card a success. What will define the event as a success is said to be 3-4 million viewers, although CBS Primetime Senior Executive Vice President Kelly Kahl claims they are “we’ll know it when we see it” numbers. Even if the show doesn’t hit those “numbers”, it doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be a second chance, says Kahl.
“If the results are less than outstanding, we’ll try and regroup and see what we did wrong.”
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the show pulls 8 million viewers. Am I crazy? Probably.
Kimbo Slice CBS Ad Videos
I like the ads. I’m glad to see they aren’t emphasizing the street fights. Plus, they’re funny in that cheesy kind of way.

April 28th, 2008
Jeff Sherwood/Sherdog.com
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.
