ShoXC - Tonight at 11pm ET
In case anyone's interested...
For the full Caplan article...EliteXC will return to SHOWTIME on tonight at 11 p.m. ET live from the Table Mountain Casino in Fresno, Calif.
As per usual fare, the card lacks star power, which is not what the ShoXC concept is intended for. The idea behind the franchise is to create a proving ground as a way to build new stars, much like SHOWTIME used to do with its ShoBox franchise, which is still in existence but no longer has the impact in boxing that it once had.
Whether the concept is working for MMA remains to be seen, but fighters such as Jon Murphy, Paul Daley, Eddie Alvarez, and Muhsin Corbbrey have all appeared on the show before moving on to bigger and better things. One fighter who could fit the future star mold that is on tonight’s card is Cyrille “The Snake” Diabate.

Pretty good card! Going to be watching it.
"They (old school MMA fighters) weren’t there to be TV reality douche bags, and they weren’t worried about their hair. They were there to fight and win. These guys nowadays are just worried about being a TV star, and that’s gonna get your ass kicked." - Don Frye
I always wondered if Debi Purcell was still fighting. Guess so.
I'm in to it ! The girls are camping down in Yosemite tonight so now I have something to do !! Did not know about this card so thanks Bone...

I just joined yesterday so you have to clarify yourself on the betting bit. But be careful, you may lose to the new guy.
completely forgot about this card. Thanks for the reminder.

Check out the Betting Pit. There you can bet FF points for glory similar only to that of defeating a lion bare-handed in the Coliseum.I just joined yesterday so you have to clarify yourself on the betting bit. But be careful, you may lose to the new guy.
Good Fights.

Those were some good fights! Hamman got his revenge, Camoes wasted absolutely no time, Diabate outclassed Fletcher, the skilled women put on quite a show with Sexton getting the split win, and Lizama upset the KOTC MW Champ (in a non-title bout).
For a round by round breakdown, look here.

Main SHOWTIME card:
* Jared Hamman def. Po’ai Suganuma via TKO (strikes) at 2:34 of round 1
* Fabricio Camoes def. Sammy Morgan via submission (rear naked choke) at 0:47 of round 1
* Cyrille Diabate def. Jaime Fletcher via unanimous decision
* Rosi Sexton def. Debi Purcell via split decision
* Ray Lizama def. Keith Berry via TKO (strikes) at 2:15 of round 2
Non-Televised Preliminary Card:
* Katrina Alendale def. Melanie La’Croix via unanimous decision
* Roberto Vargas def. Ralph Lopez via split decision
* Jesse Brock def. Josh Rave via unanimous decision
* Lucas Gumaza def. Kenny Johnson via split decision
* David “Tarzan” Douglas def. William Jacobson via TKO (corner stoppage) at 1:12 of round 1
Jared Hammen came back to prove himself on the main event. He took some big shots from Suganuma and he kept coming. I'm not really interested in the rubber match they were pusing for. That was a clear victory.
Thanks T, that was a solid little event. Got as much marketing as a paper towel sale though.

Since I've moved, I got a new cable company and somehow I don't have Showtime and missed this event! Anyone know somewhere online where I could catch this?
