Elite XC recently announced the official fight card for its “Heat” event, which takes place this Saturday (October 4) from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
There were no changes to the televised main card that airs on CBS, beginning at 9 p.m. ET. The featured fight of the night, of course, will be a heavyweight bout between Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson and Ken Shamrock.
Here’s the rest of the main card:
170 lbs.: Elite XC Welterweight Champion Jake Shields (21-4–1) vs. Paul “Semtex” Daley (18-6-2)
265 lbs.: Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski (13-5) vs. Roy “Big Country” Nelson (13-2)
140 lbs.: Gina “Conviction” Carano (6-0) vs. Kelly Kobald (16-2-1)
185 lbs.: Murilo “Ninja” Rua (16-8-1) vs. Benji Radach (18-4)
There were, however, a few changes to the under card worth noting.
The middleweight match between 24-year-old Russian knockout artist Alexander Shlemenko (21-3) and Robert “Bubba” McDaniel (11-4) has been pulled from the card. Elite XC officials more thank likely feel the match up deserves some airtime on Showtime’s November 8 main card.
Either way, it will no longer be taking place in Sunrise this Saturday, which is a shame because that fight looked like it had some real potential.
Also Mike Aina (9-6-1) has been taken off the card and will be replaced by Conor Heun (7-2) in a lightweight fight against James Edson Berto (14-5-1).
Here’s what the entire under card lineup looks like:
140 lbs.: Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos (5-0) vs. Yoko Takahashi (13-9)
160 lbs.: James Edson Berto (14-5-1) vs. Conor Heun (7-2)
205 lbs.: Seth Petruzelli (9-4) vs. Aaron Rosa (11-2)
170 lbs.: Lorenzo Borgomeo (4-0) vs. Mickey Gomez (7-4)
140 lbs.: David Gomez (0-0) vs. Brett Jackowski (1-0)
160 lbs.: Jorge Boechat (3-2) vs. Nicolae Curry (0-0)
