More hype for tonight’s show!
EliteXC sent out the following press release:
The 22 fighters appearing on tomorrow/Saturday's tremendous, eagerly awaited EliteXC mixed martial arts card at the Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif., easily made weight Friday.
Tickets for the most significant sporting event in the recent history of Stockton start at $35 and can be purchased at the Stockton Arena Box Office, by phone at (209) 373-1700 and (866) 373-7088 (toll free) or online at www.stocktontickets.com.
The event is presented by Los Angeles-based ProElite, Inc.'s live fight division, EliteXC. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. PT. The first live fight is at 3:15.
Mixed martial arts fans arriving when the doors open will have the opportunity to meet Kimbo Slice and Gina Carano when they participate in a pre-fight autograph signing just prior to the opening bell. They will sign autographs inside The Stockton Arena from 2:30 p.m. to 3:15.

Wilson Reis (left) faces Bryan Caraway in a 140-pound scrap on SHOWTIME.
Antonio "Big Foot" Silva ( left) and Justin Eilers will battle for the first-ever EliteXC heavyweight title in the main event on SHOWTIME Saturday night. The one-hour SHOWTIME telecast begins at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
My only question is how can Thompson/Shields be for the vacant Elite XC middleweight championship, when the main event is Smith vs Lawler, for the Elite XC middleweight championship?
