    the saturday night fights show is all set, as the weigh-ins are complete. nicolae cury was the only fighter who failed to make weight and will be penalized a % of his purse. his opponent agreed to take the match at catch weight.

    ken shamrock almost weighed in too light for HW, coming in at a very light 206.5!

    gina carano initially weighed in at 142.5, but later made weight after stripping down and weighing in with a towel...which i'm sure won't excite the mma nerds once the videos and pictures start getting out there! :D

    :D yes. one would assume a trans atlantic journey would require some sort of preparation, i suppose.

    ...and you guys got the most "towels" in montreal i think i've ever seen! :D

    nice i'm down for rowing to dublin... just gotta learn how to row, not be lazy, and to not be afraid of water... i'm sure i'd have no problems lol...

    The Elite card looks pretty good, i'll be pvring it and watch it as soon as i get home. VERY happy to see gina make weight :)... it's pretty bad that she weighed in so high at the 1st weigh, i just can't understand why she was so close to not making weight again.

    sounds like we have a strong crew shaping up! :D i'm expecting conditions to be fine in january, but you never know...everyone may want to bring an extra sweater.

    sorry you won't be around for the live show, leafs. i was also happy to see gina make the weight. one less thing for her to have to worry about now. she seemed fit going into the event and was confident that she was on weight, but then she looked really depleted at the weigh-ins again. i don't get it either.

    anyway, enjoy the show when you're able to watch it later. i'm hoping for a good night of matches. :)

    looks like the circus continues...:D i'm reading rumours now that elitexc found a doctor to clear shamrock (apparently he sustained a cut over his eye in training last night) and the main event is back on...who knows?! personally, first thing i thought when i read this was that we'd get to see santos vs. takahashi! :)


    Ken Shamrock out of "EliteXC: Heat" due to injury
    by MMAjunkie.com Staff
    Oct 04, 2008

    An undisclosed injury has forced Ken Shamrock out of his "EliteXC: Heat" main event bout with Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson just hours before the heavyweight clash was set to air on network television.

    MMAjunkie.com has confirmed with EliteXC officials that Shamrock suffered an in jury within the past 24 hours and will not be able to compete in tonight's main event.

    EliteXC officials are scrambling for a last-second replacement to fill in for Shamrock against undefeated Ferguson.

    The Shamrock-Ferguson fight was set to headline the third installment of CBS' "Saturday Night Fight" series. Tonight's event takes place at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.

    The 44-year-old Shamrock, who has not registered a win since 2004, last appeared in action in a March Cage Rage event. Shamrock suffered a first-round knockout in that affair to Robert "Buzz" Berry.

    sounds like elitexc is scrambling after finding a doctor to clear ken shamrock, but then having that nixed by the athletic commission.

    they have either postponed seth petruzelli vs. aaron rosa or cancelled it in the hopes that kimbo will accept a match with one of the two. frank shamrock has apparently also agreed to fight kimbo if necessary! :D craziness. it's probably a loss for kimbo if he takes any one of those fights.

    from mmajunkie's play by play for the event...

    (NOTE: Rather than live fights, the in-house system is now showing past EliteXC fights. Additionally, some on the ringside production team's computers show graphics that state Kimbo Slice vs. Seth Petruzelli. However, EliteXC officials have yet to make an official announcement regarding a possible replacement for Ken Shamrock, whom the Florida state athletic commission wouldn't clear to fight due to a facial cut suffered in the past 24 hours.)

    the main event could actually turn out to be very interesting! :D not a good turn of events for kimbo.

    looks like this will be the main card now:

    EliteXC, October 4, 2008 - The Bank Atlantic Center, Sunrise, Florida - CBS

    Main Card:

    Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson Vs. Seth Petruzelli
    Andrei Arlovski Vs. Roy Nelson
    Jake Shields Vs. Paul Daley - EliteXC WW Championship
    Gina Carano Vs. Kelly Kobald
    Benji Radach Vs. Murilo Rua

    santos vs. takahashi went to decision, so i doubt we'll see it unless every fight ends within a minute or so!

    i'm excited for seth to get this opportunity! national spotlight and a very good chance he'll beat kimbo.
