Elite XC is once again airing fights on CBS Saturday with a 1 hour lead in on Showtime. CBS has made a lot of changes since the last show so this one should run better. They will cut out a lot of the showmanship and just stick to the fights.
The UFC is of course offering counterprogramming by re-playing UFC 84 on Spike TV at 9 pm. UFC 84 had a main event of Penn vs. Sherk and also had the key LHW mathcups of Ortiz vs. Machida and Wanderlei vs. Jardine. Overall it was a very entertaining fight card and I'll be flipping over during the CBS commercials and then at 11 to re-watch the main event.
