Mixed Martial B0nes

Well, it’s finally happened. MMA has gone from a 2AM also ran show to full on Network TV Sporting event. The CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights are coming tomorrow, uhhhh Saturday Night, May 31st. With it, we are being thrown a freakshow of a fight card. I don’t know what to make of it other than the appearance of Kimbo Slice in a ring fighting on an actual TV network. Oh yeah… chick fights!!! “Crush” of the New American Gladiators will be squaring off with another tough female opponent. Here are all the fighters that will be squaring off on TV tomorrow night. I don’t know much about them so you may want to check out ELITEXC’s page for details and pictures (Especially of Crush / Gina Carano! my new girlfriend… in my mind…) Here’s the main event stuff:

Kimbo Slice vs. James “The Colossus” Thompson This will be *THE* fight everyone will be waiting for even though Slice really isn’t anything more than a really really tough dude.

Elite XC Middleweight Champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler vs. Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith Here’s the best actual MMA fight of the night. Lawler has been there done that all over the place. We’ll see if that translates to a win.

Joey Villasenor vs. Phil “The New York Badass” Baroni I’m sorry. With a nickname like “New York Badass,” Phil is just asking for a beatdown. I just don’t know if this Joey character can deliver.

Gina “Conviction” Carano vs. Kaitlin Young Carano has seen plenty of MMA herself with a 12-1 Muay Thai record. Playing “Crush” on American Gladiators gives her some practical training/experience with the pugil stick. Hey, if it’s good enough for the Army, it should be good enough for a MMA fighter. It doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes. Just watch out and don’t get fresh with her because she could turn both of those creepy eyes black!

Brett “The Grim Rogers vs. Jon Murphy Brett is an undefeated fighter and Jon just looks scary. Clay Guida scary! They both tip the scales at 265 pounds so expect to see a bit of banging followed by a wicked KO.

Sorry I don’t have much for this. As we get more matches under our belts, EliteXC’s fighters and events will get more exposure here. Well… as long as the matches are good and we get more Gina! Oh yes… you will be mine… Cue pugil stick to my cranium. POW!
