More Fighters Added to EliteXC in Feb
This is a pretty good card!
EliteXC Announces Additional Bookings for Feb. 16 Show -- MMAjunkie.com
Quote:
Antonio Silva, Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett, Yves Edwards and Edson Berto have all been added to the Feb. 16 EliteXC fight card, which features a heavyweight main event of Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott.
The organization made the announcement on Wednesday.
The event will be held at the University of Miami’s BankUnited Arena. The televised portion of the events airs at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime. (The West Coast will get a tape-delayed version of the broadcast at 10 p.m. PT.)
Silva, who slimmed down to 265 lbs. for his latest fight, scored a first-round submission of Jonathan Wiezorek at EliteXC’s November event. He’ll take on Shane Carwin, an undefeated (8-0) heavyweight from Colorado.
Bennett most recently competed at an October King of the Cage show for a first-round submission victory. He debuted with EliteXC in February with a stunning first-round knockout of K.J. Noons but flopped in an August “ShoXC” main event with Victor Valenzuela and was forced to submit from the strikes.
Edwards was originally slated to headline the Jan. 25 “ShoXC” event vs. Kyle Bradley, but as MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) was the first to report, he will instead sign on with the UFC to fight Chris Lytle at UFC 81 next month. Edwards will now fight Berto, an EliteXC and Real Fighting Championships vet.
Tickets for EliteXC’s Feb. 16 event go on sale Friday. They can be purchased at Ticketmaster or the University of Miami’s BankUnited Box Office.
The latest card now includes:
Tank Abbott vs. Kimbo Slice
Shane Carwin vs. Antonio Silva
Gina Carano vs. TBA
Edson Berto vs. Yves Edwards
Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett vs. TBA
Kyle Noke vs. Scott Smith
Brett Rodgers vs. James Thompson
