Thoughts on ShoXC's Elite Challenger Series Card
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am now covering MMA for Sports Illustrated (SI.com) as well as continuing to blog for BaltimoreSun.com. My first article for SI.com is a breakdown of ShoXC's third card, which takes place Friday night at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, Calif.
The undercard, consisting of four fights, will be streamed live on ProElite.com starting at 9:30 PM EST. The main card, featuring five fights, will be shown on Showtime at 11 PM EST.
