Girls fighting Girls
Yesterday, EliteXC announced its full fight card for the July 26th event which will air on network television. The most noteworthy and perhaps intriguing addition comes in the form of a women’s bout. Shayna Baszler and Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos will meet each other in a battle of 140 pounders. The addition is a smart one for the EliteXC as it carves out another fight in the unique niche it is bringing to the world of mma.
Girls fighting girls will always be a draw no matter what the venue. Although the rest of the EliteXC card is a rather ho-hum assemblage of fighters, most spectators will be intrigued with the Baszler-Santos bout. Baszler boasts a career record of 9-4 with all nine of those victories coming via a first round round submission. Santos is a bit more green with a professional record of only 4-0.
The EliteXC has indeed brought something different to the world of mma by putting women in the spotlight. And, on July 26, the organization will shine the lights down upon the women once again.
