Woah… really?

According to Sherdog, the once ugly looking Oct. 4 EliteXC/CBS show has been giving an injection of much needed interest as former UFC heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski and former IFL heavyweight champion, Roy Nelson have reportedly been tapped to duke it out.

Come Oct. 4 Arlovski gets to beat up a fat kid

The bout will be presented as an Affliction and EliteXC co-promotion.

I did not see this coming. I for all money thought EliteXC was just going to limp dick it in with in a show heavy on mismatches and high on freakshow but Affliction has stepped up in an act of trying to stay relevant in order to give both companies a bit of spice.

Any chance I get to see Arlovski smash a dude is always good for me, so I might actually watch this live as opposed to catching the videos when they are updated a few hours later.

The EliteXC/CBS televised card is as follows:

• Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock
• Gina Carano vs. Kelly Kobald
• Andrei Arlovksi vs. Roy Nelson
• Jake Shields vs. Paul Daley (for EliteXC Welterweight Championship)
• Murilo “Ninja” Rua vs. Benji Radach
