ShoXC Results

Send News and Event Results

Hi friends Mark Danger here to cover the ShoXC show. I will start off that is my first MMA show that I am covering and will be very rusty at this, so please bare with me. Casey who was to cover this is feeling tired and I thought I would step up and do this. If I do a really bad job please don't hold it against the fine people here. So let the action begin...

Tonights fights is coming from the Chumash Casino in California. Al Bearnstein and Stephen something calling the action.

First match is Mushin Corbbery vs Bobby McMaster. Your ref for this match is Jason Herzdog. So here we go.

Rd.1) Both coming out boxing and starting of slow. Masters take a leg take down and put Crobbery on the mat. Master is pounding him. Crobbery has a cut and is now bleeding. Mastershis humbling him. Crobbery is show no defense for this punches. With some stalling Jason orders both men on there feet. I am puzzled why. Crobbery takes him down and just put him into a gulatine submisson hold for the win. Ok opener, but the crowd was dead on this.

Next fight we have Shayna Baszler vs Jen Tate. The ref for this match is Marcos Rozales. So let the cat fight begin.

Rd.1) Both ladies coming out and Baszler came out mounted Tate and made her tap. This was a very quick fight. It lasted a all of 44 seconds. All I can say is Damn!

Next up we have Malaipet vs Kaleo Kwan. Your ref for this match is Cecil Peoples. So lets dance.

Rd.1) Both are starting slow. Malaipet striked first with a low kick. Kwan has yet do anything as just leting Malaipet kick him all over. Kwan is hitting some left hooks, but still taken a beating. And thats Round 1. I have Malaipet winning this round.

They show some guy named Tito Ortiz.

Rd.2) They go back from where they started and Kwan just got knocked down by Malaipet. Kwan is showing no effort in this fight. Malaipet is just owning him every where in the cage.
With round 2 in the books I gave it to Malaipet. Kwan must step up if he wants to win this fight.

Rd.3) Both guys come back out on there feet. It has yet been taken to the ground. Malaipet hit Kwan with a flyin knee and Kwan taped his hand and told him he did a good job. Malaipet continues hitting leg strikes, but Kwan keeps standing. Kwan grabs Malaipets leg and tried to put him on the ground and lost his mouth guard and Kwan lost that edge and Malaipet got saved by that. With round 3 ending Malaipet won. Malaipet won by decision. This was a very boring fight.

Next fight we have Javier Vazquez vs JC Pennington. Your ref for this match is going to be Jason Herzdog.

Rd.1) Javier came out with a kick and stunned Pennington. Javier takes JC to the ground and is mounting him and put a rear naked choke hold. JC had nowhere to go and was forced to tap out. Your winner Javier Vazquez in a short 1m 15 sec. Javier announced his retirement that stunned everyone. Stephen was shocked from what he heard. Javier said its that time and wants to spend time with his family. I wish him luck.

Next is our main event with Aaron Rosa vs Jared Hamman. Your ref for this match is going to be Marcos Rosales.

Rd.1) Both men coming out strong. They are working a fast pace. Hamman mounting Rosa and punching him. Rosa can't move. And both men get back to there feet. The crowd is loving thisfight. Hamman takes down Rosa again and throwing more punches. Rosa staying on the ground and kicking Rosa. Rosa takes down Hamman and nothing happen. And thats the end of round 1. I gave it to Hamman.

Rd.2) Both guys come back out strong and Hamman mounts Rosa and is throwing punches and elbow strikes. Rosa is showing no defense as he is getting hurt. Hamman is trying to get a arm bar, but can't. Hamman rolls Rosa into a rear naked choke hold and picks up the win. By far the best match of the night.

I want to thank the fine people here at combat-hooligans for letting me do this. I had fun and hope I did a good job. If I didn't I will go to Euans house and let him kick my balls for fun.

Send News and Event Results


SHOXC RETURNS TO SHOWTIME

WITH SENSATIONAL CAGE FIGHT CARD

FRIDAY, OCT. 26, AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT



Aaron Rosa Faces Jared Hamman In Battle Of Unbeatens; Javier Vazquez

Meets JC Pennington In Co-Featured Bout On Showtime At 11 p.m. ET/PT –

Additional Fights Also Will Be Shown On ProElite.com Before Telecast



NEW YORK (Oct. 19, 2007) – Two undefeated 205-pound fighters with nearly identical records will clash when Aaron Rosa (10-0) faces Jared Hamman (9-0) in one of the co-featured bouts on ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series on SHOWTIME Friday, Oct. 26, at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).



In another excellent matchup in the other co-feature, Javier “Showtime” Vazquez (11-2) will meet JC “Crayola’’ Pennington (14-3-1) in a 150-pound fight.

Other fights on a telecast presented by Los Angeles-based ProElite, Inc.’s Live Fight Division, EliteXC: Malaipet (2-1) collides with Kaleo ‘’Lights Out’’ Kwan (8-6) at 155 pounds; Taurus “Mushin” Corbbrey (11-2, 1 NC) battles Bobby “Wolverine” McMaster (8-1) at 155 pounds; and in a bout that further illustrates EliteXC’s commitment to women’s MMA, Shayna Baszler (9-4) takes on Jennifer “Rosebud’’ Tate (4-0) at 135 pounds.

The televised fights at Chumash Casino Resort at Santa Ynez, Calif. are scheduled for three, 5-minute rounds with the exception of Baszler-Tate, which is slated for three, 3-minute rounds.

Four additional fights will be streamed live on the Internet at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT on the premier MMA social networking and entertainment site, ProElite.com: In scheduled three, 3-minute round contests: Chris Caraiso (5-0) faces Rick McCorkell (3-3) at 155 pounds; Jaime Fletcher (5-2) meets Giva Santana (8-0) at 185 pounds; Fabricio “Morango” Camoes (7-3) takes on Josh Gaskins (3-1) at 155 pounds; and Shane Del Rosario (2-0) collides with Amedeo Viola (debut) at 265 pounds.

This is the third ShoXC cage fight card, which is patterned after the popular SHOWTIME boxing series ShoBox: The New Generation, which has been a springboard for many young boxers.

“These kids deserve an opportunity to make a name for themselves and to prove they can compete on a worldwide stage,’’ EliteXC Lives Events President Gary Shaw said. “They work just as hard as the established stars in MMA. Personally, I love to watch the progress of young athletes as they develop into future champions and ShoXC is the place where they can do it.’’

Rosa, of San Antonio, Tex., by way of Del Rio, Tex., made such a strong impression with a first-round TKO (doctor’s stoppage) over the more heralded Jefferson Silva on the premiere of ShoXC on July 27, 2007, that shortly thereafter he became a full-fledged member of Tito Ortiz's Team Punishment.

Going in, the rugged six-foot-three-and-one-half-inch Rosa had been a sparring partner of Ortiz. “I got promoted,’’ said Rosa, who trains with Ortiz in the mountains at Big Bear, Calif.

Rosa, 24, played high school and college football so he had no disciplined fighting experience before entering MMA a little more than three years ago. But after going 3-1 in the amateurs, he turned pro on Oct. 5, 2005, and has not had many anxious moments since.

Possessing decent size for a light heavy, Rosa is an excellent striker with good knees from a Thai clinch position. He does not possess great submission skills, but has worked on his anti-Jiu-Jitsu game so he has a defense for it. A fine counter fighter, his primary weapons include leg kicks and a jab.



While stile mostly untested, an impressive victory and Rosa could become the first ShoXC fighter to graduate to an EliteXC card.

Hamman, of San Bernardino, Calif., has won all his fights inside the distance. Like Rosa, the six-foot-three-inch 25-year-old also hails from a football background. Hamman played middle linebacker for the University of Redlands (Calif.) for two seasons while pursuing his Bachelor of Arts in History.

In 2003, Hamman made the All-SCIAC Second Team. The same year he earned the team’s most inspirational award and was named Redlands’ Defensive Lineman of the Year.

Before coming to Redlands, Hamman attended Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, Calif., where he earned his associate’s degree while playing football. He received the school’s top scholar-athlete award for his excellence in the classroom and on the field.

Hamman, who is currently the defensive line coach at Redlands, hopes to one day become a head football coach. First, however, the quick, agile, well-conditioned young man continues to tackle MMA with the same ferociousness, determination and dedication he displayed on the football field.

The highlight of a career that began in April 2006 came in July 2007 when the improving, well-rounded fighter won a cruiserweight tourney -- by knocking out first, Roger Lloret, and then, Travis Wiuff, on the same night. Both fights ended by second-round knockout.

“In some ways, MMA is a lot like football,’’ said Hamman, a two-year veteran who brings more athletic skills into the cage than the average MMA fighter and is stronger on his feet than on the ground.

Vazquez, of Pomona, Calif., by way of Santiago, Cuba, is a former King Of The Cage champion. One of EliteXC’s first signings, he is making his second start since resuming his career after a three-year layoff due to injuries. Nicknamed “Showtime,’’ he will be making his network debut.

One of the top Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and most explosive and dynamic grapplers in the world, the colorful, 5-foot-seven-inch Vazquez, 31, won his comeback fight with a three-round split decision over Adriano “Nasal’’ Periera on the ProElite.com portion of EliteXC’s Feb. 10 fight card.

“I’m injury free,” said Vazquez, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, who was considered one of the sport’s hottest prospects before the layoff. “The timing is right to fight again in MMA. I’m ready.’’

A former King of the Cage champion, Vazquez has two straight and nine of 10. He tore the ACL in his right knee during a KOTC title defense against Alberto Crane on Feb. 21, 2003.

“It was 10-15 seconds into the fight,’’ said Vazquez, who would go on to lose a split decision. “After the first punch I threw, I either miss-stepped or slipped on the mat. I finished the fight but it was only because I think the adrenaline of fighting had set in.’’

Southpaw Vazquez won a fight in November ‘03, but didn’t compete again until defeating Periera.

“During the time off, I competed in a couple Jiu-Jitsu tournaments to try and stay active,” said the Cesar Gracie-trained Vazquez, who teaches MMA at his own school in La Habra, Calif.

The husband of Rose Gracie, the daughter of Rorion and niece of Royce, Vazquez can move into the upper echelon of EliteXC’s top 155-160 pound fighters (Nick Diaz, KJ Noons, etc.) with a victory.

Pennington, of Slidell, Louisiana, is 5-1-1 in his last seven. In his last start on July 21, 2007, the 5-foot-10, 28-year-old fought a draw with Ruslan Machukov in a rematch of a match he lost by decision the previous March 3. On April 14, 2007, Pennington scored a split decision victory over Aaron Williams.

Highly regarded on the regional scene, the Louisiana October ‘07 Fighter of the Month’s strengths are his standup, strong submission skills and stamina. His specialty is the triangle. His takedown defense is questionable, however, which may be a factor against Vazquez, who’s known for his use of takedowns.

A Louisiana native, Pennington lived 30 minutes outside of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the area a couple years ago. Pennington returned after the brutal storm had subsided to be welcomed by six-eight feet of water in the home he was renting.



Pennington stayed true to his roots, however, and continues to not only live but work, train and fights out of Louisiana as well. Pennington’s “day job’’ involves working for Forensic Investigation Group, a company which specializes in fire investigations. He took off a month to train for this fight.

Corbbrey, of Bluffton, S.C., by way of Tulsa, Okla., is a true martial artist who is coming off a unanimous three-round decision over “Lethal’’ Lee Gibson July 27, 2007, on SHOWTIME at Chumash.

Showing great skill, patience and smarts, while relying heavily on technique, the 5-foot-10-inch, 29-year-old convincingly outpointed the tough, willing Gibson by the scores of 30-27 twice and 29-28.

A smart, extremely competitive, well-rounded fighter who specializes in Muay Thai and Jiu- Jitsu and doubles as a professional boxer, Corbbrey also possesses an especially impressive ground game. He may not be a great striker but he continues to work at it and has competed and won in grappling tourneys.

The dedicated Corbbrey twice was scheduled to fight after whipping Gibson, but suitable opponents could not be found and the contests at Savannah, Georgia, were scratched.

“I really wanted to put on a show for my hometown (crowd),’’ said Corbbrey after one of his fights failed to transpire. The night wasn’t a total loss, however. Corbbrey’s Champion Training Center (Savannah)-coached fighters went 6-0.

McMaster, who was born and still resides in South Boston, has won eight in a row. A crowd pleaser who keeps fans on the edge of their seats, he is as tough as it gets.

Days before a fight in 2005, McMaster suffered a broken nose. When he showed up at the weigh-in, both of his eyes were still black. Instead of pulling out, however, McMaster walked into the ring the next evening and won by guillotine choke in less than a minute and a half.

Seemingly coming out of nowhere, McMaster has been beating up guys since he lost his debut, a bout many felt he was winning until a bad cut opened up above an eye that forced the referee to stop it.

In his lone 2007 start and first since August ‘06, the 5-foot-eight-inch 26-year-old Muay Thai/Jiu-Jitsu specialist scored a spectacular overtime third-round knockout over Bobby Diaz Sept. 21, 2007.

Both fighters fought an exciting ground battle during the fast-paced initial two rounds at Wilmington, Mass., with each fighter reversing each other and constantly going for submissions.

After the scorecards were even after two sessions, the fight went into overtime. After a cautious start from both, McMaster landed a devastating right hook that knocked out Diaz out cold.

McMaster, a self-described ‘’hood rat" and street-fighter, spent four years in the Marine Corps that included an eight-month tour of duty in Iraq. While most young fighters work full-time and train part-time, McMaster trains full-time out of Southshore Sportfighting and works part-time as a security guard.

Baszler, 27, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is a tough fighter with a Muay Thai background, but has slick submissions and owns wins over Roxanne Modafferi and Julie Kedzie. The well-conditioned Baszler is comfortable striking, in the clinch and on the ground.

In her last outing, the five-foot-seven-inch Baszler impressively submitted Jan Finney (armbar) at 2:40 in the first round during a fight streamed live on ProElite.com on the Chumash July 27 fight card.

Baszler showed her class when she held her own with one of the world’s best women’s fighters, Tara LaRosa, on Feb. 18, 2007. Although she lost by second-round knockout, Shayna was absolutely competitive until getting caught with a left hook with two minutes remaining in the second.

Outside of combat sports, Baszler enjoys playing the cello and guitar, and video games.

A victory on Oct. 26 could put the talented, technically sound Baszler, who decided to get involved in MMA after witnessing Toughwomen shows in South Dakota, a step closer perhaps to a match with The Golden Girl Of MMA, popular Gina Carano.



Tate, of Lodi, Calif., fights out of Stockton, Calif. She is making her SHOWTIME debut. The five-foot-five-inch 27 year old has yet to put in a full night’s work: Three of her fights ended in submission; the other by knockout. This, however, figures to be the sternest challenge of her career.



In her last start, Tate triumphed by 1:09, first-round submission (armbar) over Angeles Hayes on Oct. 6, 2007. Tate, who also owns a pro victory over Tonya Evinger, went unbeaten (5-0) in the amateurs.



Tate fights out of Cen-Cal Combat in Stockton and features the same strong standup skills that landed her a spot on Oxygen’s reality TV show "Fight Girls" in which she starred in it second season.



Malaipet, whose birth name is Monkhon WiWasuk, was born in a region (jungle) in Thailand that had no electricity. He lived in a wooden hut that featured a pet elephant for an alarm clock. He tells stories of everyone stopping what they were doing when a plane flew overhead and just watching with awe.



An extremely exciting, talented fighter, the five-foot-seven-inch 26-year is seeking his third MMA win in a row in this, his ShoXC debut. If you question his knockout ability, that would be your mistake. Malaipet often holds back to insure the fans get a good show. The way people see it, if he went all out, his career highlight reel would last maybe 30 seconds.



Malaipet, who fights out of Upland, Calif., is as tough as he is successful. He once beat a guy while fighting with broken bones in his foot. He injured his foot so close to the fight, he didn’t want to cancel. He knew he could beat his opponent with his hands and one leg.



Hailing from a fighting family, Maraipet started to fight at six and turned pro at eight. When he was 12, his parents sold him to a gym in Bangkok where he experienced modern civilization for the first time. The idea of being sold by your family is a common practice in Thailand's third world environment.



From the age of 12-15, he had no contact with his family. Although, he was able to see them after three years when he was allowed to go back and visit their village, he remained property of the camp and eventually had to return. Malaipet would remain a member of the camp until he turned 22.



When Malaipet came to the United States, he didn’t speak English, but he quickly earned the language by reading childrens’ books.



Years later, Malaipet would teach Muay Thai at Combative Arts Academy in Beverly Hills, Calif. Numerous times, Malaipet had students running for the bathroom to upchuck because he pushed them so hard.



Known for unbelievable strength, awesome leg kicks and punching power, Malaipet is definitely one to watch.



Standing in his way is Kwan, of Waimanalo, Hawaii. A five-foot-eight-inch 34-year old is known for being a strong standup fighter after having accumulated a perfect 18-0 record as a kick boxer. An excellent striker also has outstanding knockout power in his hands.



Called “The Hawaiian Superman,’’ by Waimanalo residents, he has earned the respect of his peers through his years of outstanding work in the community. A family man with six children, he is also active in the Church, which is what you would expect from someone who is the son of a preacherman.



Dubbed the “Ambassador of Aloha” by his manager and trainer, Mike Malone, Kwan currently works in construction where he primarily does tile work. However, prior to that he was a dolphin trainer at the renowned Sea Life Park in Hawaii.



During the live show, Kwan's role was to get launched into the air by a group of dolphins during the finale, as if he was shot out of a cannon. Being shot out of a cannon describes his exciting standup fighting style as he accumulated a perfect 18-0 record in kickboxing before transitioning into MMA.

Jake Shields: I'm ready to face the top guys

Send News


In an interview with Adcombat.com EliteXC welterweight Jake Shields talks his last fight against Renato Verissimo his next fight with Mike Pyle and his future aspirations.

It is clear that the UFC is on his mind and that's where he could end up after his last EliteXC contracted bout which is against Pyle on 11/10.

KM: What do you think
of 2008?

JS: I want to go out there and fight the best. I’m really looking at UFC over Elite because that is where a lot of top guys are. In the next few weeks I’ll probably make my decision on where I’m going to be signing.

KM: Should we say you are ‘in talks now’ or ‘have talked to’ UFC?
JS: Have been in the past. I’m sure we’re going to talk to them in the next week before we sign anything with Elite. I’m ready to get in there with the top guys. With the Rumble on the Rock tournament and EliteXC and my last four or five fights have been top come and have been fast, easy fights. I think it definitely shows I belong there.


read the whole thing

Even though the prospect of Shields leaving EliteXC would hurt that promotion, I can't help but think about the great potential matchups he'd have in the UFC. A rematch with Jon Fitch, and bouts against the likes of Karo Parisyan, Josh Koscheck, and Georges St. Pierre. That's one advantage that the UFC will have over the prospective competition at least for the time being. The top fighters are almost all in the UFC especially in the welterweight class.

Nick Diaz interview, calls out Goldberg and Jon Fitch

Send News


Nick Diaz gave an interview to Jesse Holland of UFCMania.com and had some interesting comments as is usual for a Diaz interview.

He's not happy with Bill Goldberg...

Jesse Holland (UFCmania): Well the EliteXC commentators weren’t exactly helping your cause.

Nick Diaz: Man, fuck them. They were acting like they’re all buddies with me and the next day they stick it to me. They should be able to know and recognize what’s going on in there. You got (Bill) Goldberg in there and they’re acting like he’s this experienced fighter but who is he? Why isn’t there a fighter in the booth helping these guys? If you never fought an MMA match in your life how are you going to be able to know what you’re looking at? Not everything that goes on in the cage should be taken at face value but if you’re not a fighter you don’t recognize that stuff. That was ridiculous man these guys need to shut up and call it right.


He also has less than kind words for UFC Welterweights, especially Jon Fitch.

Nick Diaz: Georges or Matt Hughes, who the hell is there? Fitch? My boy Jake choked him out already. I’m ready to start talking shit on these guys. What do I have to do to fight one of these guys or get the promoters to make it happen? Call these guys pussies? Fine. They’re all pussies. Fuck every single one of them.

Jesse Holland (UFCmania): You don’t think Fitch is the real deal?

Nick Diaz: No, I don’t. I think I’m gonna slap him and after I slap him I’m gonna beat him. Give me a fight with Fitch, go ahead. The UFC doesn’t want me fighting them but I’ll be there even when they start falling off because I’m a long distance fighter not like these fragile guys who always get hurt in training. How the hell do you get hurt so much in training? Stop flipping tires and jacking up all these weights.


Nick Diaz is a quote machine and this interview is *****.

Nick Diaz Signs Long-Term Contract Extension With EliteXC


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ELITEXC SIGNS NICK DIAZ
TO LONG-TERM EXTENSION

MMA Superstar Backed By ProElite Family
LOS ANGELES (Oct. 11, 2007) – Los Angeles-based ProElite, Inc., which celebrated its first birthday recently, received a belated present from Nick Diaz
when the exciting, popular fan favorite and Mixed Martial Arts superstar signed an exclusive, long-term contract extension with the company’s Live Event’s
Division, EliteXC.
Terms and length of the deal were not disclosed.
“Nick is a tremendously talented young fighter and we are extremely thrilled to have him join our family,” said EliteXC Live Events President,
Gary Shaw, who made the announcement Thursday. “He is a very humble young man and dedicated athlete with an enormous wealth of talent.’’
Diaz (nickdiaz.proelite.com), who is 15-6, will make his next start for EliteXC when he collides with hard-hitting KJ Noons (kjnoons.proelite.com),
who is 5-2, for the EliteXC world title in a brand new weight division – 160-pounds – in the main event of “Renegade” on Saturday, Nov. 10, in Corpus
Christi, Texas, on SHOWTIME.
Adds Shaw: “This contract extension, while continuing to validate that EliteXC is a major player in the MMA market, also means that Nick will
be surrounded by a loving fight family and have a home for good. Nick is going to be a major star and is quickly becoming a household name not only in
MMA but in the world of sports.’’
Diaz, 24, of Stockton, Calif., is already one of the most recognizable and popular figures in MMA. A Brazilian black belt who is a member of Team Gracie,
the confident southpaw has fought some of the sport's biggest names in his illustrious six-year career.
In a career-best performance in which he rallied from the brink of defeat, a battered, bruised and bloodied Diaz scored an impressive, legendary gogoplata
submission victory over then-consensus No. 1 lightweight contender, Takanori Gomi (takanorigomi.proelite.com), in a 2007 Fight of the Year candidate
that wound up going into the books as a no contest.
Diaz made his EliteXC debut on Sept. 15, 2007, in Hawaii, and registered a hard-fought three-round split decision over determined local favorite, Mike
Aina, in an exhausting, bloody, give-and-take battle. A fierce competitor, Diaz survived an early knockdown and a cut right eye to outpoint the local
favorite by the scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 28-29.
“This is really awesome,’’ said Diaz, referring to the long-term signing extension. “Everybody knows that I am just a fighter who is looking for some
respect and an organization that will let me be me. Gary Shaw and EliteXC really stepped up and I am so grateful and happy for it. The ProElite family
is growing every day and I am really excited to be part of it.
“Everybody has made my job easier for me. Now I can focus on training to be the best I can be in and out of the cage.’’

EliteXC Signs Legendary Street Fighter And Internet Superstar Kimbo Slice
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LEGENDARY STREET FIGHTER KIMBO
SIGNS LONG-TERM CONTRACT WITH ELITEXC

Internet Superstar Makes Television Debut On Nov. 10 ‘Renegade’

MMA Fight Card Airs Live On SHOWTIME

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 11, 2007) – The notorious King of Street Fighting and one of the meanest, roughest, toughest, baddest brawlers in the history of YouTube,
Kimbo Slice, has signed a multi-year contract with Los Angeles-based ProElite, Inc.’s Live Fight Division, EliteXC.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
“Kimbo is a street fighting and Internet legend who has in excess of five million downloads on YouTube,” said EliteXC Live Events President
Gary Shaw, who made the announcement Thursday. “He is a brutal fighter who has a take-no prisoners approach.
“We have had our eye on Kimbo from day one and have been actively pursing him since. We struck when the time was right, and now we have our man.
“For those who have never seen him, they are going to witness perhaps the most vicious of all fighters. It is going to be very exciting for
Mixed Martial Arts fans who have been anxiously waiting for him to step into the cage on SHOWTIME to see how Kimbo does as he continues to cross over
into MMA.
“I can’t express how happy we all are to have Kimbo become a part of our ProElite/EliteXC family.’’
A sign of the times, perhaps, the incredibly popular Kimbo could be the first superstar athlete to get his start in any professional sport after making
a name for himself via the Internet. Now, finally, he is going from the small screen of a computer to the big screen of television.
The major question, of course, is can his well-documented prowess on the pavement translate into success in MMA.
One thing is certain: Kimbo (kimboslice.proelite.com) brings the same fervor and edge-of-your-seat anticipation into a cage as a young Mike Tyson brought
to the ring in professional boxing.
“Fans could never blink during a Tyson fight and the same goes with Kimbo,’’ said Shaw, adding that Kimbo will make his EliteXC and SHOWTIME debut on
the Nov. 10 “Renegade” cage fight card extravaganza at Corpus Christi, Texas. His opponent will be announced shortly.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 33-year-old, 250-pound Kimbo has been honing his MMA skills in recent months under the tutelage of legendary fighter and trainer, Bas
Rutten.
“I’m excited about this great opportunity,” the soft-spoken Kimbo said. “I’ve been waiting to fight and this is my chance. I’ll be ready for whoever they
put me in with on Nov. 10.
“Gary Shaw and the entire ProElite and EliteXC teams have been great to me from the start. I could tell immediately that I could trust them and they were
my friends. These are the kinds of people that I want in my circle. I really appreciate what J.D. Penn and Jeremy Lappen have done to make this all happen.’’

Raw, powerful, dangerously explosive, extremely heavy-handed and always one punch away from ending a fight, Kimbo won his lone MMA outing with a 1:12,
first-round victory over former world boxing heavyweight champion “Merciless’’ Ray Mercer in June 2007. Ironically, he submitted Mercer via a guillotine
choke.

Nick Diaz signs long-term contract with EliteXC

Send News


That's the word in a very brief statement at The promotion's official site

Diaz made his debut for the promotion at EXC Uprising back on 09/15 after serving a long suspension for failing a drug test for Marijuana at Pride 33 in February. The test failure resulted in his victory over Pride Lightweight Champion Takanori Gomi being changed to a no contest.

Diaz' September debut was a split decision victory over hard-hitting Hawaiian Mike Aina.

Retaining the services of Diaz has to be seen as a positive sign for the Showtime affiliated promotion.
