EliteXC: “Unfinished Business” Results
For those of you that may have forgotten about EliteXC’s second offering on CBS..I’ll be providing the results as they happen tonight. The CBS portion of the card begins at 9pm EST. Also, for those of you that missed UFC 84…it will be broadcast on Spike TV at 9pm EST. It was prolly one of if not the best MMA cards of the year…so either DVR it and watch CBS or vice versa if you haven’t seen it.
Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith-Lawler wins via TKO Round 2
Jake Shields vs. Nick Thompson-Shields wins via Submission(Choke) Round 1
Nick Diaz vs. Thomas Denny-Diaz wins via TKO Round 2
Cris Cyborg vs. Shayna Baszler-Cyborg wins via KO Round 2
This show was MUCH MUCH better than the initial offering….all of the fights were pretty exciting…no decisions. Cyborg is a BEAST of a woman….good lawd…I generally don’t like women fighting…but I’ll definitely be watching Cyborg/Gina Carano when they fight. Nick Diaz was his usual self…that stare down was hilarious. Shields dominated pretty quickly….and Lawler/Smith picked up where they left off the first time…and that was a good fight as well.
Overall…I’m impressed….the only drawback I can see so far is time management…they better thank Lawler for ending that fight when he did….had that fight gone to a decision…they would have gone over their time allotment again…just like the first show. One note…it’s so funny that they keep name dropping the UFC….hell even Shields called out the winner of GSP/Fitch. I’m sorry Jake…but you don’t want it with GSP….nor Fitch. What are you thoughts on tonight’s fights?
