MMA Event this Weekend - Watch It

expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id' >

Just an FYI to all you budding MMA fans out there. This Saturday night, EliteXC will be televising their second network MMA event on CBS. Yes this is the same organization that promotes Kimbo Slice, but luckily he will not be fighting on this card and in fact the show has two very good matchups. The names may not be household names, but the four fighters will most likely make for two exciting/back and forth fights. The first is a welterweight(156 lbs-170 lbs) matchup between Jake Shields and Nick Thompson for the first ever EliteXC welterweight championship. And the second is the rematch between Middleweight(171 lbs-184 lbs) Champion Robbie Lawler and challenger Scott Smith. This is actually a fight that took place on the first CBS card in May, and was clearly the most exciting fight of the night until it was cut short by a referee stoppage due to a finger from Robbie Lawler into the eye of Scott Smith. It is not necessary to get into the specifics of these fighters, because that can be boring, but here are some exciting facts:
"Ruthless" Robbie Lawler has 17 wins in his career - 14 by Knockout/TKO
Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith has 13 career wins - 11 by Knockout/TKO
Those are good odds, so be prepared for some fireworks, I know I am.
The event starts at 9 pm on CBS and for more information visit

Enjoy the fights!
