Kimbo Slice, Gina Carano Jiggle to EliteXC Victory —
SPORTSbyBROOKS
We took in the bloated spectacle of MMA last night that took far too long to finish, had a messy and controversial finish, and was tinged with sloppy production throughout.

Well, it became quite clear on Saturday night’s EliteXC show on CBS that Gina Carano was the other face they wanted to ...

East Coast Bias
Last night was the debut of EliteXC MMA on CBS. This is the first time that MMA has been on network prime time television, so it was kind of a big deal. Those who have been following MMA for a while remember the days when you couldn't even see MMA on basic cable (June 2002 on "The Best Damn Sports Show, Period" was the first time). MMA has come a long way since then, expanding out from the UFC ...

She was required to maintain a weight of between 155-170 pounds for her role on “American Gladiators” and with taping for that show ending just three weeks ago she ...
