EliteXC Results

EliteXC has scheduled 3 title fights as part of it's July 26 Saturday Night Fights on CBS fight card.

EliteXC Title Fights

• Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva vs TBA (heavyweight title, shown on showtime)
  
• Robbie Lawler vs Scott Smith (middleweight title)
  
• Jake Shields vs Nick Thompson (welterweight title)
  

Also on the card is Nick Diaz vs Thomas Denny...a bout that seems like a setup to make Diaz look good and ready him for a rematch with EliteXC lightweight champ KJ Noons.

Of course, the big question is whether or not it will be Kimbo Slice facing Silva for the heavyweight title.

NOTE: The heavyweight matchup will be shown on Showtime in a 1 hour preview event.

EliteXC lightweight Nick Diaz (17-7) will meet former King of the Cage champion Thomas Denny (26-16) at the next EliteXC-CBS "Saturday Night Fights" event, which takes place July 26 at Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif.

And, in typical EliteXC Results fashion, here is a Nick Diaz video. BTW, the guy he is fighting is Takanori Gomi, the man considered by many to be the #1 lightweight in the world.

Jake Shields will fight Nick Thompson (36-9-1) for the first-ever EliteXC welterweight title.

The title fight takes place during the second EliteXC-CBS "Saturday Night Fights" event, currently scheduled for July 26 -- possibly in Stockton, Calif.

Here is a submission wrestling video of Jake Shields vs Jon Fitch. As you probably know, Fitch will challenge Georges St Pierre for the UFC welterweight title in August.

Most notable moments
At UFC 49, Edwards knocked out Josh Thomson by way of spectacular head-kick. After the fight, commentator Mike Goldberg announced: "I will say right now, this kick has replaced Pete Williams on Mark Coleman as the greatest knockout due to a kick in UFC history."

Of course what EliteXC fan hasn't seen footage of the crazy knee KO of Edson Berto on Feb 16th. If you haven't seen it, here is a clip...and no, that isn't me in the audio on the clip

Yves next fight is June 14th for the EliteXC lightweight title, his opponent is KJ Noons. You will be able to find results for that fight right here.

June 14th is the next big EliteXC fight card and EliteXC Results is ready. Here is the fight card with a few predictions just to whet your whistile. After the fight card is a vid clip of some highlights of a fight between Yves Edwards and highly regarded UFC lightweight Hermes Franca.

I watch this video clip and just can't help but make the comparison between Edwards and Anderson Silva. The ease in which he puts together punches and kicks and his durability on the ground make an easy comparison. Edwards had a rough patch but seems to be back on track now.
