Elite XC: A Night of Champions or A Night of Failure?

Elite XC looks to have another big show on November 8th with 2 championship fights but no crowd draw in the lineup will make it difficult for the show to be a success.

Robbie Lawler vs Joey Villasenor
Nick Diaz vs Eddie Alvarez

Those two fights will be the championship fights that will take place on November 8th.  The other names confirmed or rumored to be there:

Scott Smith vs Hector Lombard
Kaitlin Young vs Sarah Kaufman
Brett Rogers vs Paul Buentello

Where’s the Shamrock vs Shamrock clash?  Elite XC you might want to pull out all the stops now.  Don’t wait until February to put together another big card because quite frankly, you might not be around long enough to make the February fight card happen and we all want to see Carano vs Cyborg.

This card looks to be set up for failure.  Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz are fantastic fighters but they aren’t the crowd draw needed for Elite XC.  The last event without Slice or Carano got around 2.6 million viewers.  Don’t be surprised after the last event if less than 2 million viewers tune into this fiasco.
