21 Nov 2008 06:10:08 PST

Written by subo
Currently riding an impressive 11-fight win streak, Shields was left as a title-holder for a now-defunct organization when EliteXC's parent company, ProElite Inc., folded. The Californian competed four times for EliteXC and has mixed feelings about the departure of the promotion.

Written by mythbuster
The Florida State Boxing Commission is aware of a controversial statement made by Seth Petruzelli in a radio interview on Monday, but does not feel the comment indicates wrongdoing by either Petruzelli or EliteXC promoters, according to a commission spokesperson.

Opinion: The Kimbo saga is over

06 Oct 2008 14:42:57 PDT

Written by Mark Chalifoux
EliteXC managed to find the only person more fragile than Kimbo Slice’s last opponent, James “Colossus” Thompson, in former MMA fighter Ken Shamrock. The only problem was that Shamrock is so fragile he was injured during the warm-up, thus pitting Kimbo Slice...

Rear Naked News Previews EliteXC "Heat"

03 Oct 2008 07:36:00 PDT

Written by Rear Naked
I guess Villasenor's big win over Phil Baroni impressed the EliteXC brass. Rua was the man Lawler defeated to win the belt, and it's not like the first fight was a cakewalk. A rematch makes sense, but with EliteXC, you have to suppress the urge to think logically. Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock

Opinion: Five Crucial Moves for EliteXC

26 Sep 2008 10:13:52 PDT

Written by Michael Rome
EliteXC "Heat" on October 4 is arguably the most important live show in American MMA's short history. If the show bombs, and CBS ends the deal, EliteXC will die, and so will the rest of the UFC's competition. If it does a huge rating, and CBS buys the promotion, the UFC will have its first real...

Oh, that. Well, again we enter the realm of the purely speculatory, but if CBS is okay with boxing programming coexisting with MMA, Oscar may have hit the gold mine. The sport has been off English language network TV in any fashion since 2004 and hasn’t really gotten any sort of push in a decad...

Opinion: The UFC Emerges Stronger From a Dangerous Summer

16 Aug 2008 16:00:50 PDT

Written by Michael Rome
EliteXC is on the ropes, reeling from significant financial loss and management issues. CBS does not pay them enough for them to survive without Pay Per View, but who knows if we'll ever see that? They are not a threat, they are more like an occasional novelty act that will serve to build up n...

Opinion: ELITE XTREME MAKEOVER

27 Jul 2008 23:09:00 PDT

Written by yacman1
Many MMA fans have been griping since the early EliteXC shows on Showtime, that the dancing girls, rappers and frills defamed the sport. Those at the helm of the promotion promised we would see none of that this time around. They certainly kept their word.

EliteXC has booked a lot of brawls and one-sided affairs but this was an evenly matched mixed martial arts fight. Bravo. It also warrants mentioning that the mat is splattered with blood stains. I want to see that fight. ...

EliteXC CBS Saturday Night Fights Preview: Wilson Reis

25 Jul 2008 09:22:42 PDT

Written by Luke Thomas
Two more items of note about Reis. First, he takes the back like no one I've ever seen. Aside from technical back-taking techniques, he is literally able to "jump" into a back taking position. He literally jumps in the air and spins into it. Second, if you watch Reis' last fight at "EliteXC: Prim...

Opinion: EliteXC-CBS Saturday Night Fights: Calling Them As We See Fit [Editorial]

01 Jun 2008 15:38:40 PDT

Written by Kris Karkoski
Probably the least questionable bout of the evening. However once again I feel that Baroni should have been given a few more seconds to try to defend himself. Yes, Villasenor was brutalizing Baroni but lets let the man lose without a doubt, okay? Is that too much to ask? Iâ€™m all for fighters...

Opinion: Thoughts on EliteXC: Street Certified

17 Feb 2008 06:29:19 PST

So far, EliteXC President Gary Shaw is using Kimbo Slice well. Despite his training, Slice is probably not ready for good fighters yet. So, Shaw is building him up by pitting him against big-name fighters who are past their prime and who match up stylistically. Slice gave the fans what they ca...
