[iverbure]

Elite Xtreme Combat today announced the fight card for the Jan. 25 “ShoXC: EliteXC Challenger Series” event that airs live on Showtime.

The event takes place at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J. The live card begins at 9 p.m. ET.

EliteXC has scheduled co-main events of UFC veteran Yves Edwards (31-13-3) vs. knockout artist Kyle Bradley (13-4), as well as English Cage Rage vet Paul Daley (16-6-2) vs. an opponent to be named later.

Edwards, once one of the UFC’s most promising prospects, lost five of six fights from September 2005 to July 2007 while competing for the UFC, PRIDE and Bodog Fight. However, he’s since rebounded for back-to-back victories, which included a second-round submission of Alonzo Martinez at last month’s “HDNet Fights: Reckless Abandon” show in Dallas.

Additionally, two of the world’s most notable female fighters will battle on the night’s televised broadcast when Julie Kedzie (9-6), who lost to Gina Carano in a fight-of-the-night performance at “EliteXC: Destiny” in February, takes on Tonya Evinger (5-3), who was submitted by Carano in a September EliteXC event. The fight, which takes place at 140 lbs., features three, three-minute rounds.

The full televised card includes:

Kyle Bradley vs. Yves Edwards
Paul Daley vs. TBA
Bobby McMaster vs. Bao Quach
Bellaton Frederick vs. Kala Kolohe Hose
Julie Kedzie vs. Tonya Evinger
Undercard (non-televised) bouts include:

Eddie Alvarez vs. Carlos Quinlon
Zach Makovsky vs. Wilson Reis
Binky Jones vs. TBA
Doug Gordon vs. Sergio Vinagre
Matt Makowski vs. Joe Shilling
ShoXC, which is the MMA version of Showtime’s popular boxing program called “ShoBox,” debuted in July with the intention of spotlighting up-and-coming MMA talent. EliteXC has produced three ShoXC events to date: July 27, Aug. 25, and most recently, on Oct. 26.

EliteXC has hosted previous ShoXC events in Santa Ynez, Calif. and Vickburg, Miss. Neither a ShoXC nor a regular EliteXC event has taken place in New Jersey, though a ShoXC event tentatively planned for Dec. 7 in New Jersey was reportedly canceled in early November.

i wonder what kind of ratings this show will get with Yves Edwards in the main event.?

[Noise Chopped]

Very happy for Yves. I'm a fan of his, through and through. Kinda sad to see how his career went for a while, but he'll turn it around at EliteXC (I hope).

Get ready for some thug-jitsu. COMIN' AT'CHA.
