Great news for MMA fans! If everything goes as planned, former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski will be fighting Roy “Big Country” Nelson on Elite XC’s CBS “Saturday Night Fights” which takes place Oct. 4 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. and will be headlined by Ken Shamrock fighting Kimbo Slice. Word has it the contracts are penned but not yet signed. Cross your fingers.
This really helps the card a lot. In fact, it will be interesting to see which fights don’t make it onto the CBS portion of the card because there are some great match-ups going on. We could potentially see the top five fights being on CBS. That would be nice, right?
There are some names on the undercard you might not be familiar with because they have added some local Florida talent to the card and at least a couple of these guys will make their pro mma debut with Elite XC. Pretty cool for them.
Here is a look at the whole thing:
Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock
