Where are they going? A week removed from EliteXC’s fall, not one EliteXC fighter is free and clear yet to sign a new deal elsewhere. That doesn’t mean the wheels aren’t turning though. Here’s the latest on a few of the fighters EliteXC left behind.

Eddie Alvarez

Of all the fighters signed to EliteXC contracts, Eddie Alvarez seems to have the most options while his Elite contract is stuck in bankruptcy proceedings. According to his manager, Monte Cox, Eddie has two fights remaining on his DREAM contract, and deals with Andrenaline and Extreme Challenge.

EliteXC “Heat” took place this evening at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Seth Petruzelli had the opportunity of a lifetime fall into his lap when he was tapped to replace an injured Ken Shamrock in the main event against Kimbo Slice.

Jake Shields defended his EliteXC Welterweight Championship for the first time against the always dangerous UK Cage Rage Champ Paul Daley.

As the result of a co-promotion with Afflliction, heavyweights Andrei Arlovski and Roy Nelson met in the cage for a possible chance to fight Fedor Emelianenko.

Gina Carano looked to keep her undefeated streak going against Kelly Kobald.

Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua and Benji Radach battled it out to get one step closer to a middleweight title shot.

Results and wrap-up after the jump.

You might want to actually watch this weigh-ins video.

It appears there was quite a bit of drama at today’s EliteXC “Heat” weigh-ins. Imagine that.

Gina Carano had to strip down to make weight. She was obviously embarrassed, and I’m sure her it didn’t help that her dad was holding the towel.

Jake Shields and Paul Daley about went at it on stage. Usually it’s all show, but it apparently continued backstage as well.

Of course, it just wouldn’t be right if something didn’t go down between Kimbo and Ken. Shamrock, presumably in character, shoved Kimbo from behind when he turned to exit the stage and mayhem ensued.

Never a dull moment with EliteXC.

Props to MMARated.com for the video and run down.

Awhile back, I spoke about how the Miami-Florida State game could adversely affect ticket sales for EliteXC. Ariel Helwani passed along a small update on that front.

Now that’s a promo. That gets me fired up to tune in on Oct. 4 to see Shields and Daley go at it. Hopefully, CBS actually runs this one during the football games.

Here’s a little “fight hype” from Daley.
